I genuinely do not know who the bad guys are. S lot of my leftist friends are against Israel, but from what I know Israel was attacked and is responding and trying to get their hostages back.

Enlighten me. Am I wrong? Why am I wrong?

And dumb it down for me, because apparently I’m an idiot.

    Nice of you to gloss over the fact that the 6 day war was an attempt to annihilate Israel’s existence…

      Israel started the six day war by striking its neighbors. It wanted that war, it knew it had dedicated sponsors that would back them up.

      PS Israel, as an apartheid ethnostare premised on settler colonialism, should not exist. The “state” of Israel should be abolished and replaced by a non-apartheid, non-ethnostate that includes all of the people and guarantees a return of stolen homes and land.
