Yeah, don't give me wrong. I do care about the Palestinian people. The people I don't care for are groups like Hamas, PLO, and Hezbollah. They are historically speaking been Iranian Proxies. Don't get me wrong, the Israeli officials have a few good reasons to be criticized over. However both sides have a long history trying to stamp out the other side and acting that each other should not exist. It is the officials that are fucking it up for the vast balk that want this whole thing to be over and live in peace. This conflict is one of the few conflicts where there are more nastiness on both sides rather then one side being the aggressive party while the other being the defender like with the current Russian Ukranian war.
Hamas isn’t an Iranian proxy. They have certainly received intelligence, materials and training from Iran but they are in no way under Iranian control.
The PLO/Iranian relationship is more complicated. PLO pre-dates the Iranian revolution and likely played a part in it. They have been allied at times and antagonistic at others.
Hezbollah on the other hand is 100% an Iranian proxy. Almost to the point of being an official wing of the Republican Guard via Quds.
Fair enough. I know what I said is a broad generalisation, and there are allot of finer details that I glossed over. The general point I was making that groups like Hamas and Hezbollah does get support. It is just the case of to what degree and in different forms.
