For mental health reasons, I had taken myself out of most political topics. But lately there seems to be a surge of talk about Palestine and Hamas (forgive me if I spelled this wrong). I do know it’s something to do with land rights, but it also seems to be so much more at the same time. I’m not trying to start any fights. I just want to understand. Thank you.

    and Israel responded (they had a right to) but it’s debatable whether the response was appropriate.

    Are you kidding me? Their “response” was bombing ~2 million innocent people out of their homes and telling them that they shouldn’t have been there. Imagine if someone from Japan bombed China, and China’s response was bombing random people in Tokyo.

    Their response was absolutely not appropriate unless you love genocide. The situation is not nuanced, people act like it is so they don’t have to take a side.

      I do not necessarily agree with that. The main goal have always been to get rid of terrorists but because they are in the middle of inhabited zones, it’s actually quite tough not to end up with civil causalities.
