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.

    but Israel doesn’t get to say they want to control the entire region?

    What do you mean Israel doesn’t “get” to say that?

    Israel does say that, and Israel does control the entire region, and almost every Western power allows them to.

      I guess I meant to ask why is it morally okay for Palestinians to want to do that, but not morally ok for Israelis to want to do that. Is it because Israel is an apartheid, ethnostate?

        Palestinians want the right to return from where they were ethnically cleansed, Israel wants to maintain a Jewish majority state.
