      In this case you don’t need to go back “in history.”

      By this logic, history doesn’t exist and nothing that happened yesterday should matter today.

      Do we get to go back far enough to the part where israel admitted to funding hamas in 2019?

      You guys know this isnt a conspiracy, right? Israeli politicians flat out said this in interviews?

          Israel specifically targeted and funded extremists to stamp out non violent palestinian politics.

          Israel created this. This is what they bankrolled. It was the intended outcome to justify declaring war.

        Why is it political taboo to call them both monsters, and advocate for not supporting either until they can sort out the differences themselves?

        Because there’s an obvious power imbalance and not picking a side just favors the already powerful?

          Yeah. If we say “let them fight it out” then Israel is going to roll in and kill all the Palestinians.

            Followed closely by war with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan and Iran. Escalation is bad for everyone.

      Welcome to the human condition. Justice isn’t real, but that doesn’t mean we can abandon it. It’s impossible to undo the damage of the past, but if you turn a blind eye to it then nobody will follow you into the future.
