I don't get it, I have to wade through my own country's propaganda and lies to get to the truth. Why would that be different for an Israeli or Palestinian? Unless you're part of creating it, the rest of us are as vulnerable to our own government's propaganda as the actual target.

I read the statement "people who have to make actual impactful decision" as being high-level government people. I assume they can get information untainted by their own government's propaganda and disinformation. (They can also probably get information less tainted by the other side's propaganda and disinformation, though not perfectly so.)
