I always find it odd how people blame “extremists” and the Palestinians for this.

Israel starts to steal homes, land and killing men, children and women. No one bat an eye to that.

Then extremists and hate towards Israel came and bam, they are the bad ones suddenly.

Certainly what Hamas does is entirely wrong however - People cannot expect them be silent and get killed by Israeli forces.

This is what happens from decades upon decades of oppression.

This entire conflict was created by Israel stealing land and starting an genocide mission on Palestinians.

Israel is colonining with supperior force and mostly quite or support world order.

Palestinians are fucked. And have been for decades.

They deff should be fighting for it but this is a futile exercise.

Either way, the world until recently game Israel blank check but public opinion is changing on these human rights violations by an allegededly modern state.

Gen Z in the US does seem to be all that interested in continue US support. So Israel got about 20 years to either kill them off or having to deal with palestiains under different political conditions which won't b as favorable.
