I genuinely do not know who the bad guys are. S lot of my leftist friends are against Israel, but from what I know Israel was attacked and is responding and trying to get their hostages back.
Enlighten me. Am I wrong? Why am I wrong?
And dumb it down for me, because apparently I’m an idiot.
You should look into the history of WHY Hamas formed in the first place. Palestinians have been forcibly relocated and had their land taken since the 40’s. I will say, is there any justification for the destruction and genocide Israel is committing? They’ve destroyed practically ALL infrastructure in Gaza including hospitals, they’ve got snipers shooting kids, targeting UN aid workers. Hamas and hostages are convenient excuses for them to keep doing what they started in the 40’s - killing an entire native population and taking their land.
Hamas are still not the good guys. Every time the conflict calms down, Hamas approval sinks because of their absolute unwillingness to fuck all for their own populace. Most of the money supplied to the gaza strips admin goes into weapons, not into infrastructure for their people.
And to answer your question: ah, fuck no. Israels rightwing shitheads are responsible for never letting the cycle of violence rest. Its to profitable for them.
