It's also about politicians and people in power, staying in power by keeping conflicts alive. For example, Netanyahu regularly bombing some important Hamas person in Gaza and Hamas then firing rockets, was good for Netanyahu's and the Hamas leaders' popularity (as far as I've understood).

Hmm, I think to a somewhat large part, the conflicts are ways for the people in power to stay in power.

What do you mean with "by default"?

Have a look at The Dictators Handbok btw and try to see the world from the perspective of someone like Netanyahu or the Hamas leaders. How can they increase/keep their power and wealth, using the conflicts as tools.

It's also tribalism ... Many things at the same time going on?
