I think the Yzak-Dearka-Miriallia subplot, the Cagalli-Uzumi talk, and even the Stella-Shinn-Kira subplot, are some examples where the idea of understanding is brought up, at least, in one form or another.
In the first two, they made a point that, while you may be at war with your enemies, they're also human beings who have their own families and loved ones and that they're also suffering because of the war.
In the Stella-Shinn-Kira situation, lack of understanding plays a part in that whole tragedy, although it may not be the primary cause, from Stella and Kira only seeing each other as threats while Shinn only seeing Stella as a victim.
But anyway, as I said before, neither SEED nor Destiny ends with understanding being achieved, as far as the big picture is concerned. In fact, so called "understanding" leads Rau to want to destroy the human race in SEED and Kira to actually say he was willing to kill someone, namely Durandal, in Destiny.
