As for the Israel/Palestine war . . . I'm confused. First, it was the Palenstinians who were the bad guys because they're always trying to kill the rest of the entire world in the name of Islam, but now all of the sudden, it's the Israelis who are the bad guys because . . . why?
Ah… nope LOL
This is a totally American understanding of world politics hahaha!
Does not reflect reality.
The Israel Palestine thing is complex but…
There was a country called Palestine, Inhabited by Palestinians, it had a traditional Jewish population as well as other groups like Christians, Samaritans etc. After WW1 it got independence from the Turks.
After WW2 it had a flood of European Jewish Refugees. With external help and terrorism they seized the entire country and took it over.
This is the reason Palestinians are angry. They lost their home and were forced into controlled prison cities basically, with many exiled to refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt…
It's this situation and injustice that has fuelled so much hate and terrorism since. :(
Israel has never, ever, ever been the good guy. Hamas is not all Palestine. The Palestinians have never been the bad guys.
It's just a terrible situation all round and idiots are in control on both sides.
Meanwhile it's the civilians in both ethnic communities that suffer. Israeli and Palestinian.
