I have refrained from commenting in here because there's clearly a division and whilst theres some constructive arguments most end's up in name calling.
I'm torn on it, Israel absolutely has the right to defend itself and take out Hamas and in war there will always be civilian casualties, Hamas very much only attacked civilians on Oct 7th.
The complete destruction of Gaza doesnt sit to well with me, at what point is blowing up a block of flat's to kill 2 Hamas fighters worth killing 50 civilians?
Hatred breeds hatred, we see on the news Gazan's running babies into hospitals covered in blood but ive seen video's of dead Israelis been kicked, stomped, spat on and have rocks thrown at them by Palestinian kids.
The whole Middle East is a cesspit of State and Non State crazy's, Militias, Rebels and Terrorist Groups, the most peaceful people are probably the goat herder's and you don't trust them either.
More proxy wars going on than we'll ever know about, World Superpowers stirring the hornets nest for there own gains and Religious groups fighting over make believe stuff that is ingrained in them.
The protests absolutely *smile* me to tears sorry Sin and this is not directed at you but how does one choose what to protest for? Is it because its on the news? People have quickly forgotten about Ukraine, The Kurds, The Uyghurs and what about Boko Haram they have displaced 2.5 million people and killed over 300000 people yet i dont see school kids protesting, people blocking the city or hear school teachers threatening to protest.
The only thing we can all be sure of is man has been fighting since the dawn of time over religion and lines drawn on a paper map and it will continue long after we are gone and all for nothing.
