I didn’t used to understand foreign involvement in wars, like the whole America-Vietnam shenanigans. But I can see why after watching this Israeli Palestine Conflict since birth.

But now it’s like watching two children fighting over who’s sandcastles can be built in the sandbox. And what do we do if children can’t learn to share? You take away everything and no one is happy.

So is that what this is going to come to? Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?

    Part of the problem is neither group seem to have any real interest in negotiation. Both groups seem to engage in war crimes attacking civilians and other illegitimate targets.

    Every couple of years they get bored and lob missiles at each other, but the “war” has essentially devolved into a stalemate where everyone’s just trying to cause as much misery as possible without any real hope of victory or advancement.

    I don’t understand why there are any westerners there. The whole region is red flagged for UK citizens, there’s no way I can get insurance to go there, I don’t understand how some people do.

      Israel is coming out of a political crisis from 2021that saw a huge loss in confidence on the government including a dissolution of the parliament. Now that Netanyahu is in power again, he loves that this war broke out. Nothing cements a government in power like a good war.
