MODERATORS
I agree it's less effort. I think it's also safer (and most know this at least unconsciously) to adopt the dominant opinion as one's own than it is to challenge those in power or their narratives or to stand up for those without power - which can be alienating. Being morally and/or factually correct is an independent matter
People are split on this "war" because you have to understand 3 ideas but only one is being talked about.
The way that this is being sold by the news is that Palestinians have been waging an aimless, 60 year religious war against the innocent but technologically superior Israelis. While superficially "true" it doesn't cover the whole situation and doesn't help people understand that Hamas terrorists makes up a minority of the Palestinian population.
