“For every action there is a reaction, and an Israeli reaction is quite a fucking thing”

Copied from another post:
I’m done with both sides; I’ve sympathised with the Palestinian people in the past - to a large extent Hamas is not the Palestinian people but is still the goverment the people voted in. Both sides have committed atrocious acts of violence and its got them nowhere in 75 years.
The situation cannot continue as is and Hamas has burned bridges it couldn’t have afforded to burn.
Israel is very capable of walking over the Palestinian territories and occupying them indefinitely, the only thing holding them back has been international pressure - which has now been released due to the recent attacks.
I’m ready as is most of my generation I believe, to see the next iteration of the middle east however that turns out.
I just feel sorry for those who are going to be rolled over.

Yes. All I’ve learned from all this middle east stuff is that unless anyone is personally involved due to blood ties nobody makes a convincing argument to win over outsiders to their side. Pretty sure many people have constantly flip flopped going what the fuck and then saying they support X then another what the fuck happens and they flip.
Just stay out of it. Not like we are personally going to arm ourselves and shed blood for the cause. All I’ve learned is that all these arguments are nothing but a bunch of keyboard warriors advocating for a conflict they have absolutely no clue about, and people just flip flopping back and forth and end up not understanding anymore than when they started. That area is just a messed up place of anarchy and I’m not even going to try to make sense of that place anymore.

The US does send something like billions in monetary and military aid over there which could be spent here so it does kind of affect us over here, but other than that, I agree.
