      This

      Back then maybe technically it wasn’t a genocide just yet, but I recall watching news on tv as an 8 year old, talking about Israeli soldiers shooting and murdering children because they threw rocks at them.

      Nothing was done about it

      That was over 40 years ago

      If you’re gonna look at a bigger timescale, you’re really asking for a “both sides” argument. Its such a long and complicated conflict.

        Yeah that was my undereducated take too. Time to wake up from years of propaganda my friend.

            Look i know that Lemmy is not helpful in educating yourself or even in having good conversations but if it is a topic you are interested in, you might pick up a book about it. I recommend “The hundred years’ war on palestine” by Rashid Khalidi. Very informational also about the shortcomings of the PLO and other palestinian orginanisations.

            You do not have to be educated in everything or even anything. When i said what i said i did not mean to insult you. I am only beginning to learn about the history of palestine but it has been eye opening.

            Don’t let heated comments and downvotes get to you personally. People are just in rage about all the death and destruction in which the west is more than complicit.
