I genuinely do not know who the bad guys are. S lot of my leftist friends are against Israel, but from what I know Israel was attacked and is responding and trying to get their hostages back.

Enlighten me. Am I wrong? Why am I wrong?

And dumb it down for me, because apparently I’m an idiot.

    Muslims and Jews believe in the same sky man but have very different views on him. Jews didn’t have a country until Israel was created after world war two. Lots of Arab people lost land and their rights overnight. Israel and its neighbours never really got on from the start. On both sides people took their religion too far. Zionist Jews and Hamas-type Muslims essentially believe that their mission is to drive the other lot off the land / out of existence. Nutters took control of each side and pushed their personal agendas. Both civilians suffer - although undoubtedly Arab civilians have it way way worse. In short both sets of civilians are led by bad people - but the Gazan civilians suffer terribly in comparison to the Israeli civilians.
