I had some questions about things, so I’ve been doing more reading about Palestine/Israel/Hamas/Gaza Strip/West Bank/Anti-Semitism/Anti-Zionism. Here are a few pieces I read for understanding:
- https://www.un.org/unispal/history/
- https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgr71z0jp4o

- https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R47828
- https://www.cjpme.org/mapss#:~:text=Israel%20(shown%20in%20yellow%2C%20at,Syrian%20Golan%20Heights%20(green).
And here are my thoughts about it. I didn’t understand that conflict and factions enough, but after…wait for it…some research, I’ve come to a few thoughts about it:
I believe that there should be a 2 (or more) state solution for Jews and Palestinians.
I do not condone anti-semitism or anti-zionism because (see above) I believe Jews should have their own place and home.
I do, however, completely disagree with Netanyahu and the governement of Israel fueling the fire of war and genocide, sacrificing and targeting THOUSANDS of Palestinians who simply want to live their lives.
Hamas is internationally recognized as a terrorist organization, they are NOT representative of all Palestinians.
Trump and Netanyahu both oppose to recognizing the State of Palestine because they feel it would be a “reward” for Hamas.
Hamas is estimated to have between 16K-40K soldiers (funded by Qatar mostly, with US and Israel as well)
There are currently 5.6 MILLION Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.
Over 150 of the UN’s 193 bodies recognize the State of Palestine.
This shouldn’t be that difficult, but it sounds like “leaders” personal opinions are getting in the way of serving their people.
