Either way discussion in this thread seems to only revolve around deciding who is "more wrong" rather than discussing how to potentially solve the conflict. I can't stop anyone from doing that but it will just end up going in a circle that will waste everyone's time.

I think you are misquoting as I didn't mention anything about death toll and I am not trying to say which side have more wrong either.
As for looking at current vs older past, I think given the subject of discussion is the current escalating conflict, it is helpful to look at the current cluse given old conflicts wouldn't suddenly arise for no reason.
As for "both sides going at it willfully", I think one must question what is the meaning of willfully here. It feel like one who lose a game of mahjong want to overturn the result and thus push the game to continue.
