If you're tired of Carp always responding with the fact that both sides are committing atrocities, imagine how tired some of us are with threads focusing pretty much exclusively on demonizing just the one side of the conflict.
Israel is committing terrible atrocities upon the Palestinians, and I actually hope Israel refuses to hold internal investigations on this report so the the World Court could come into play -- I'd love to see the entire leadership brought up on charges and convicted if found guilty ...
Shockingly, I have the very same hopes for those committing atrocities on the Palestinian side ...
I gather from your post that last bit is something you'd not be interested in hearing. But hey, if your dream is to read only one point of view ...

I don't think he was doing that - he was suggesting that the blame was 50 / 50 although that obviously didn't bear much resemblance to the civilian fatality statistics of 1417 / 3.

Sorry to disappoint you but they've already held their internal investigations and prosecuted a soldier for credit card theft.
I'm not particularly partial to "either 'SIDE'" The only dog I have in this fight is the Earth itself. I'm afraid I'm a "Globalist" on the most basic level there is.. pro Earth & its flora & fauna.
This BS shoving match is drawing everyone else into the fray.. putting us ALL at risk .. and squandering precious time and resources that could be better utilized elsewhere to make life better for all concerned in a sustainable future.
It no longer Matters 'Who Did What To Whom & When" ...just knock it off! Put an end to the squabbling.
Like Obama sez: "The Time for GAMES has Ended!"

I was reminded of the old 1940's Cartoon that depicted a picnic invaded by red & black ants. In the face of these enormous mountains of food an epic battle ensued.. ..eventually ending in an armistice:
They'd finally shook hands & agreed to divide the last layer cake ..but then went right back to slaughtering each other when they couldn't decide who got the cherry.
