Religious fanatics, Hamas, attacked Israel, killing about 700 and over 2000 injured! They shocked Israel, but how? Israel has been protecting against this for many years. But somehow they pulled it off. Israel will respond, and likely “win” militarily.
Iran is behind Hamas. Russia too?
I don’t deeply think about Israel and the Palestinians because it has long seemed to me that a two state solution is the only solution but extremist on the Palestinian side want to drive Jews out of Israel and extremist Jews want to drive Palestinians out of Israel, and that seems to be endless.
And then, the deeply corrupt right wing Netanyahu couldn’t form a government without joining with the extremist right wingers who openly announce their aim to drive the Palestinians out. And he and his right wing fanatics have torn the country apart by gutting the judiciary so they can establish fanatical authoritarian theocratic rule (sound familiar?).
So, Netenyahu in order to keep from trials that would imprison him, joined forces with the craziest and most dangerous parts of Israel and threw gasoline on the ever smoldering coals of the conflict, and who would have guessed? The fire has exploded.
Russia invades Ukraine, and now Hamas/Iran invades Israel. Not a good sign for the world.
