For mental health reasons, I had taken myself out of most political topics. But lately there seems to be a surge of talk about Palestine and Hamas (forgive me if I spelled this wrong). I do know it’s something to do with land rights, but it also seems to be so much more at the same time. I’m not trying to start any fights. I just want to understand. Thank you.

Largest open air prison.

Where people could leave any time they wanted, and many Palestinians worked in Israel. Not a very good prison.

Their response is disproportionate, and it seems their goal is genocide and complete control of the land.

Israel doesn't want Gaza. They literally left it in 2005 precisely because they didn't want anything to do with it. But while Hamas exists, there will never be peace. Tbh, there will never be peace there anyway. It's the Middle East. War is the only thing they know.
