      Ah yes. History began on October 7th. There is no context to anything involving anything prior to October 7th 2023.

      Although even looking at just October 7th and what has happened since… kind of elucidates what the fuck has been going on.

      Hell even 7 decades ago Einstein was looking at what was just starting and went “Well this is some Nazi shit.”

          Saying “this section of the planet belongs to a specific race because they’re fractionally descended from one of the people that lived there a long time ago” is dumb as fuck. Modern people have 0 connection to Jews that long ago and most modern Israeli Jews aren’t actually ethnically similar to Jews thousands of years ago, most Israelis are primarily European descendant or other non-Palestinian descendant.

          Modern Israelis are not the same group as the various historical groups referred to as “Jews”. Your logic is flawed.

          The more reasonable and manageable timeframe might be closer to living generations currently in existence.

          The hyperbole kind of misses its intended mark when itself misses the context of a call for context.

      200 dead from a terrorist attack committed by terrorists justifies 20,000 civilian deaths by carpet bombing and levelling entire communities?

      Total war is not just an abstract political move, it’s an immense suffering and deaths of dozens of thousands of civilians.

      It’s easy to play political mastermind from the safety and comfort of your home. People who witnessed war know full well what it entails, and they know it’s not just numbers and maps and politics.

      It’s blood. It’s broken families. It’s famine. It’s the destruction of everything they valued. It’s PTSD for just about everyone who managed to survive.

      Think twice before saying things like that. Please.
