I’ve been hesitant to “take sides” regarding the civil war in Gaza. I’m Canadian and have zero say in the matter. Thus, I feel I cannot judge one side nor the other (tho I will judge tRump and his posse).
Wanting to learn the history of this civil war, I began reading.

I am open to hear others’ thought, but so far this has been my take-away

“Is Palestine oldest or Israel?
Taking stock. By more than 1,000 years, “Israel” predates “Palestine.” The land then became home primarily to an Arab population, again for more than a millennium. Both Jews and Arabs thus have a legitimate claim to the land. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has seen myriad wrongs and brutalities on both sides.” - Marguerite Newman, NCESC Geographic FAQ

Trump says he wants to 'clean out' Gaza and move Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt. Trump also confirmed he had instructed the military to resume shipments of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, which had been paused over concerns about civilian casualties.

So, we finally get a cease-fire, and now that Trump is back in office, he wants to start the war back up again? 😧

#WarInTheMiddleEast
(1/3)

There are already two related wars going on in the region:

#WarInGaza
#WarInYemen

The last missile attack on #Israel by #Iran a couple of weeks ago has shown:
Israel's Western allies and Sunni opponents of Iran can be dragged into the #WarInPalestine any time.

The #Houthis have to be seen as a warring party against Israel as well.

The #Gaza strip has been (IMO in breach of international law) been obliterated by the #IDF. The degree...

Whereas in the more than 2 millennia that #Jews have been persecuted in the #Mediterranean and around the globe, I am not aware of a single proven incident that a #Jew had poisoned a well, the Netanyahu regime has finally provided the ammunition that the racists needed for #antisemitism: video proof of the criminal acts. Far worse, they haven't only seem 2 have poisoned the wells, but destroyed them for years to come
