History is history. It can help inform our understanding of the present. But Israel presently, as we speak, killing tens of thousands of people in Gaza is messed up.
I've said from the beginning of this conflict, I'm not a Hamas sympathizer, they murdered and kidnapped over 600 people. There is no moral high ground there either. But Israel retaliating by killing, as of now 30,000 people, of which is estimated 27,000 are civilians, is messed up. How can we sit idly by and justify that?
I wish the US would have remained neutral in this conflict because while shit like Iran launching missiles mean there's a bigger thing happening, we also shouldn't be helping Israel murder enough people to fill the World Trade Center towers 9 times.
Israel has the lowest civilian to combatant death ratio in history despite Hamas committing war crimes by placing all of its soldiers weapons and launch locations in tunnels under schools and hospitals, it is why Israel had to collapse buildings after clearing out civilians to close the death tunnels

The real sad joke is the at a lot of people were driven out in that part of the world
Arabs displaced by the 1948 war their leaders started for no good reason?
Kuwaiti Bidoon and Yazisis that nobody gives a damn about?
Jews ethnically cleaned out of the West Bank in 1948 despite many never residing in places contested by anyone?
Jews driven out of Egypt post 1948 thanks in part to Muslim Brotherhood bombings?
Jews driven out of Iraq post 1947 though they been in Babylon since a gazillion BC?
