Please, not fixing potholes have been around longer than the current Palestinian/Israeli and also a completely stupid reduction of the complexity of this whole fucked up situation.
There's nothing complex about it. Israel imprisons an entire people and every time the UN tries to do something about it the US vetoes it.
The "it's complex" excuse is used to have people look the other way by turning it into a hopeless situation.
If there were some psychopaths that were insanely dedicated to killing you wouldn't you want there to be a fence between you and them? It's indeed not all that complex. Israel built a fence as a barrier between them and the psychopaths Palestinians elected to be their government. Seemed a better option than sending in the IDF to attempt a regime change. But apparently the fence wasn't effective, so not many options left other than regime change now.
Hamas has always been the problem. How would you protect people from these psychopaths?
There would be no Hamas if israël hadn't invoked it. It was a response against the occupation and slaughtering israël had been doing since more than 70 years ago until now.
Now THAT'S overly simplifying things to the point of a flat out lie.
You act like every nation there (and beyond) hasn't wanted to kill Jews since before modern Israel.
Giving a different name to Hamas wouldn't change anything.
The Palestinian people voted for Hamas after Israel removed their settlements and ended the occupation of Gaza. Israel withdrawing from Palestinian territory was not considered to be an act of peace, they saw it as an act of weakness and a sign they should vote for fascist strongmen to fight even harder. Maybe you're too young to have been around when that went down and your internet research didn't explain the circumstances in which Hamas took power. Gaza turned to fascism, leaving no real option for peace.
The emotional fervor that fascist propaganda provides is attractive to the young. But it's the same story we've seen before. Fascists take power, then because they can't stop having destructive conflicts their country ends up destroyed.
Hate destroys everything. Doesn't really matter what the justification for that hatred is, it destroys people and countries. Try not to let it destroy you, ok?
You seem to be living in an alternate universe where those things actually happened.
Here's the reality: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/
Also what does fascism mean? That's a rhetorical question by the way, we all know you're going to Google it and then delusionally shoehorn your interpretation in it.
Maybe you shouldn't use those psychopaths are a political props to validate your political position.

They haven't been fixing potholes since 1949? Those potholes must be huge.
LOL! Let me rephrase, then...
To think... you wasted all that energy to achieve so little. Ho hum.
While you may boast about valuing ignorance over knowledge, there are others on this site that might appreciate learning a little history. So my time may have been wasted on you, but not wasted for the others people on this site.
Being proud over being a waste of other people's time LOL.
Let me rephrase that for the terminally bewildered, then...
To think… you wasted all that energy to achieve so little.
Ho hum.
Ok keyboard warrior, maybe you should turn off your computer and go outside.
Not actually all that good at OSINT, are you?
Not gonna waste my time on a anti-Semitic sac of shit.
Oh look... a person who falsely brags about being good at OSINT also doesn't know what the term antisemitism (a term they can't even spell right) means.
Yawn.
Try thousands of years bc. This didn't "start" in 1949.
No, it started in 1949.
The idea that there's anything coherent about Zionist justifications for a modern-day Israel based on thousands-year old scripture is pure and absolute white supremacist and antisemitic hogwash.
Yeah, but the money that should be fixing potholes, and paying teachers, and providing healthcare has been going to war for as long as the USA has been around.
TBH, The US pays more for healthcare than defense. Hell social security is the number 1 expense.
