Cats and dogs will always fight without any reason. Media should ignore fools fighting each other like cavemen. The OCD of the media should end, as no one cares when cats and dog fight...just look the other way till they bite each other and get tired of fighting.

Hope they sink the Palestinian terrorists once and for all .
