So when it comes to politics/news/war i try to burry my head as deep in sand as i can because there is nothing i can do and i guess i just wanna avoid . So can someone explain to me all about it without any bias or give me any links/articles which does that ? I know this has been going on for a long time but i only need the important things and need it all to be readable under an hour.

The reason i am asking now is i now have come to terms after the immolition of aaron bushnell that i can no longer burry my head in the sand and hope for it to go away . also there is some protests going on and i would like to join but i don’t wanna join in something i don’t understand and would like to make my own views. I visited reddit and they are shitting on aaron and calling him mentally unstable which makes me want to punch them but they make a point he left his daughters behind while i can see the merit in that point one could also argue he is trying to make the world better for them according to his belief anyway the christians are arguing about his soul in there and it makes me wanna vomit so not gonna take anything from that shithole seriously.

I would also like to lbow why usa and russia .etc stand where they stand and they have to gain from it ? Also as i said i would like unbiased as it gets answers and make my own view . Thanks in advance.

PS: spelling as i have typed this in a hurry EDIT :Don’t downvote it to hell if you can’t be bothered to answer let someone else do it.

    This isn’t a one-hour-summary topic, and you’re not going to find “unbiased” reporting on it. Not trying to be a dick, it’s just the facts. Anyone telling you they have the “unbiased truth” about it is lying or delusional.

    With that said, start with some Wikipedia browsing from the end of WW2, where the Allies started looking around for places around the world as Jewish refuges, and the struggles/ decisions made to plop Israel in the Middle East.

    From there, there’s a bunch of back-and forth action between the new state of Israel and the people who were already living there (Palestinians), which has a lot of video summaries on YouTube. You’ll hear “Nakba” (Catastrophe in Arabic) used a lot, if that’s any indication of how it went.

    All of that puts the Oct 7 attacks in more context, as well as the ongoing bombing in Gaza.

    Good luck in your search. If people are being rude with you, it’s because the tone of your post is basically “I actively tried not to look at this conflict that’s been going on for 4 months that’s killed 30,000 people, and now care because of a single guy (Aaron Bushnell) immolating himself.” I’m VERY glad that his message got to you, as I agree that it’s an important issue, but it also feels frustrating that it took this long (respectfully).
