    Does anybody understand what's going on with Israel and Gaza?

    Yeah, I know, war, religion, territorial disputes etc.... but why? And why now?

    I would watch the news or read the internet but everything is so biased. And it's mostly focused on poor civilians dying to create sympathy and clicks and get middle aged women commenting for more ad revenue on those "poor babies" that may or may not be in danger. I have the radio on in my van all day and the news is just awfully done, I don't care about families being scared, I need to know what the actual deal is. It's like they skip the important part to bring you the sob stories caused by the important part.

    So does anybody actually KNOW what it's all about. You know, the actual truth with facts. I know hamas attacked and that's as far as I trust the rest of the news here.

      Editing … I think it's quite suspicious how hamas were allowed to just walts in. Usually border patroll is very strict but now they were told to just pick their noses eventhough the egyptian intelllegency agencies warned them something was up. There were hundreds of 911 calls that were all ignored. Calls from people saying there were shootings and stuff. Usually you would you know.... send help. But no. No help for you. It just smells of alterior motioves. And yes. Israel is no helpless little country either. Even a maddman would know his chances of actually winning or causing any significant damage agains the isreali army are nonexistent. This is no natural conflict 100%.

      Editing … I also think it's quite tasteles how again in this conflict just like in the Ukrain war people are in the mindset of being for one side and against the other. Waving stupid little flags in their bios while noone really cares or knows the history of these conflicts. They just want to virtue signal. War is not a football match. You just spit in the face of the victims of war on both sides. The regular civilians who have not asked for war but got it anyway are not helped by you declairing you side with the "good guys".

      Editing … The funny thing is that I never set out to say that the news is all shit, I genuinely just wanted to know if anybody understood what is going on with this war. But I guess because of the news, nobody really does! I understand Israel must react because it's their 9/11, if they didn't they would be slated and the government overthrown/voted out. But Hamas can't win a war against Israel. Is this some part of a bigger political plot? It's like Luxembourg poking France in the eye and telling it to fuck off. You wouldn't do it unless you had Germany stood behind you right? I just don't get why this happened. It's mental unless it's part of something else.

      Editing … I don't think anyone can understand what is going on from just the events that happened because what is going on does not make sense. The motives are not there and it was made really easy to cross the boarder (which usually is very tightly controlled). Something very strange happened and you'd be a fresh newborn baby to simply take it at face value. The isreali president is screaming for blood and war and I guess if they call it their 9/11 they get to go to war for free with any country or organisation of their choosing. Maybe they can finally find those weapons of massdestruction or something. I think Iran has some.

I don't think anybody wants any of that shit, only terrorists and mad fuckers. It's a pity the world is so small and we have to live on it with those types of people.

    I kinda miss the falafel and fresh drinks right now. I also had one slice of pizza, and I've never had cheese on a pizza that was that good. Blocks of Turkish cheese was also great.
    Pretty good to be away from the heavily propagated society, and the incessant racism and sexism though. I also saw flagrant abuses of power from authorities, and even got to experience it myself when the security at the western wall smashed my phone. If that happened here, no doubt I'd have the repairs paid for, or we'd at least end up in civil court. In Israel, I saw cops steal from people right out in public, and all they were allowed to do was get annoyed.
