      An argument could be made that Hamas’ actions in Israel provoked Israel’s reaction in Gaza.

      Which provoked Hamas’ actions in Israel…

      Which provoked Israel’s reaction in Gaza…

      Lather, rinse, repeat back to the beginning of Israel and Gaza.

        I actually prefer forgetting about all the history. It provides some context, but really, it doesn’t matter. I’ve learned a lot about the history in the last four months and it changes absolutely nothing about this Genocide.

        Even if Hamas did the literal Holocaust, it wouldn’t give israel the right to mass murder uninvolved Palestinians, especially since there’s no acute danger. We didn’t mass murder all Germans after WW2 either.
