    If you really want to trace all this back to the root it was the Arab states that started the 1948 war that kicked all this off. I can understand why they did but still, that was what set us down this mess of a road.

      Root cause goes back further than that, but also having your land cut up by colonials and then kicked out would absolutely piss off the Arab popular.

        Yeah that’s why I said I understand their motivations for the war. It’s messy, I don’t have any answers. I just wish the cycle of violence would end already.

          Yeah no sorry cause and effect is only acceptable when Israel kills civilians. Otherwise it’s an unprovoked conflict or some other such excuse.

          You and me both. It is a shit show with no end in sight. People will keep killing each other for their interpret of an old work of fiction.
