    How is it stupid to understand that recent events are a continuation of a decades long conflict begun with the Six Day War of 1967?

    Anyone with a modicum of knowledge on the conflict in general would see that I threw you an easy pitch for the sake of a joke. If you had knowledge of the issue, rather than what news outlets deigned to tell you, you could have retorted by asking who initiated the Six Day War. You could have even made the very valid point that this whole conflict is all caused by British imperialism stemming from the Balfour Declaration of 1917, an act appeasement by the British Government brought about by decades of anti-semitism in British politics; this is my actual stance. The reason you did none of this is because all of these terms like Six Day War and Balfour Declaration are completely new to you, as you have no actual knowledge of the subject.

      How many people that Hamas is sending out to “martyr” themselves were even alive in 1967?

      It’s a typical fascist tactic to make people upset about something that happened in a history book. The word fascist literally comes from Mussolini making a callback to the Roman Empire to make Italians upset over not ruling over lands that their long dead ancestors ruled over.

      Obviously I’m talking about the hostilities that began on October 7. But you just can’t pass up an opportunity to spread grievances over some historical wrongs that happened before any of us were born.
