@AlphaKiloPapa Well no, the war started with Israel invading a country that had people living on it for 2000 some years. It also started with them engaging in biological warfare in an attempt to exterminate the Palestinians before the initial invasion really took off.

So no, painting the Palestinians and Hamas as the ones who started it is far from accurate. They have of course done plenty of wrong and more than their fair share of terrorism to counter Israel's terrorism. But they were **not** the aggressors.

Even most recently with the October attacks, it was specifically provoked by 2 events: 1) Israel, despite being at peace at the time, continued to steal land from Palestine and set up Jewish settlements 2) Committed murder for several of their leaders during a time of peace. So literally no matter how you dice it Israel started this war with terrorist acts, Palestine has responded with the same. Neither side is right, but Israel is the aggressor here for sure.
