It's no different to any other video, the underdog often gets the sympathy vote in these things.

What's the solution? Dismantling the state of Isreal and allowing their people to emigrate to countries where they have family (but not all have family abroad) that would of course bring stability to the area but of course is almost impossible to do. Their only option is to continue securing their own state from agressive neighbours which they've been doing for decades now and as they say, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs!

The interviewer is following instructions (from the TV channel) and allowing the underdog (the Palestinians) in this case to give a stronger opinion than that of the Isrealis.
The Palestinian interviewee is backed by a British film-maker who is extremely biased anyway. The Jewish interviewee was not a good choice, as he's pretty hopeless at getting his point across cohesively.

The best point of the whole interview that was only briefly touched upon, is that Hamas had placed their military assets in residential locations, so near where children are based. Hamas knew what they were doing here and knew would lead to two distinct possibilties 1) Placing these military installations in a residential attack to avoid attack or 2) Placing these military installations in a residential attack to encourage an attack and then when civilian casualties mounted up, they automatically would grab sympathy. Hamas don't give a sh
it about civilian casualties, they're just means to an end.
