I didn't think I would get on with Lemmy but it's actually really good!

Any chance you can school me in the rights and wrongs of this situation, I have tried to read up on the situation between Israel and Palestine and I just can't work out who, if anyone is at fault. It just seems like a crazy unresolvable mess.

On the face of it I would just think the solution is to let the Palestinians have their bit of land and be done with it, why is it not that simple?

Also it's really hard to understand who is justified in their actions. I often find myself feeling sorry for the Palestinians but then I see them riding through London celebration the murder of innocent people and it makes it really hard for me to feel sorry for them. Similarly with Israelis, it's horrible that they have innocent civilians murdered but killing 250 in response is just crazy...

I'm not trolling or shit posting I honestly can't work it out.

This must be gutting. I really did love Reddit, it felt like the last bastion of the old school internet for me.

I am so happy Boost is back! I am Loving Lemmy!

It would really irritate me if I had to look at it for the next 25 year 😂

Thanks all for teaching me a little about this situation, it is kind of how I had imagined it and there is no real immediate solution. I guess like any long standing conflict there are failings on both sides and neither willing to capitulate. As has been alluded to, it just does not seem to warrant the loss of life on both sides. I might do a little bit of reading on the local politics to see how this is played out to their respective populations.

Louis Theroux is always a good call!

Yes

Thanks for your input, it's always good to get people's perceptions on things, it all helps build context.
