    Let’s look at an example.

    Level 1 INT:

    Israeli invaders are killing Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

    Level 2 INT:

    Israeli invaders are killing Palestinian civilians in Gaza, and the USA is funding them.

    Level 3 INT:

    Israeli invaders are killing Palestinian civilians in Gaza. The invasion is an indirect result of harrassment and conflicts between Israel and irregular muslim extremist militants. The American involvement stems from a foreign aid agreement from the 1960s (rooted in WWII events) and several terrorist attacks against America by the same extremist groups.

    No, greater understanding doesn’t make it better. Things don’t happen in a vacuum and the good (or understandable) doesn’t cancel out the bad.
