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.

Yes but that's the implication when you say "the terririst attack that killed 1200 young Israelis".

I mean okay but that's how it reads like, especially because that myth is still alive and well.

They were young people who were gathered for a music concert.

Israel has compulsory military service for young people, so many of them were enlisted in the military. That doesn't change the fact that they were young.
