Not sure how you can side with someone and pretend to be unbiased at the same time. Also fairly ridiculous to pretend that there is not suffering on both sides so is he on the side which suffers most? Both sides have polemicists and the pro-Israeli media is generally much more powerful so to an extent he redresses the balance but he's still a c**k.

Hamas want to play David to Israel's Goliath, but then we get the huge, 'it's not fair' charge....No such thing as playing fair in war. In war if one man attacks you with a peashooter you respond with a tank. If the people of Gaza had wanted peace they wouldn't have voted in Hamas, the blueprint is there, There are no Israeli attacks in the West Bank, Israel voted in an aggressive government. The majority within both sets of people have the governments they have chosen. Until they have had enough blood letting they just need to get on with it. Moderates aren't going to make any proper headway until there is a will for it. As Hamas are currently getting knocked without much coming the other way, I'm not surprised they want a ceasefire.....Not too sure there is anything in it for Israel though.
