    You need history to understand what is happening right now. Doesn’t matter how long ago it was, history will always be relevant.

      Yeah? But, you need all the history, all the news, etc. Not just1 that which agrees with you. Otherwise you can’t hope to be pragmatic

        That’s true but where did I say that? I would like you to point the sentence.

        The fact is, the first comment blames Hamas for the October attack. But they left out that:

        Hamas was only made in 1987 because Israel has been doing horrifying things to the Palestinian people from 1948-1987 (still ongoing).

        Hamas would have never existed if Israel didn’t stole the land, murdered many Palestinians and made an Apartheid regime.

        The first comment and my own comment was about that.

        Now I’m not going to have a full discussion with you. Not worth it. Want to genuinely have much more knowledge? Read the history - Books and articles.

          The PLO preceeded Hamas, it’s all the same thing. Life in Gaza is nothing new. Actually, oit wasn’t too bad until lately. They have no industry, so not really viable. That’s not really a Isreal’s doing. Yes, Isreal takes ground which is not good. But, every time they attacked they feel the need for buffer zones. That’s happened since the 1948 war.
