Analysis of the Israel-Palestine Conflict
Of course war is horrible,
so why did the Palestinians initiate this war on October 7?
Well, they didn't.
They didn't. This war has been going on for 75 years.
Israel initiated it in 1948 by ethnically cleansing 750 000 people.
This is what you need to understand.
The people in Gaza, over 80 of them are refugees from a place called Majdal,
Ashkelon, in what is now southern Israel, in a city called Ashkelon.
And they were dragged from their homes and driven from their homes,
placed in prison camps, barbed wire prison camps,
and then dumped in trucks in 1950
into the Gaza Strip where they would be permanently warehoused.
And then Israel proceeded to move Jewish refugees and
Russians into Ashkelon to prevent them from ever coming back.
So this didn't come out of a vacuum.
You're not going to be able to hold people under siege,
cut them off from the world, and
then expect them to just play along.
