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.

    There are no good guys and bad guys.
    2 groups of people who are neighbors and relatives and share a common heritage keep killing each other, mostly due to shitty rulers who have no interest in their peoples’ well-being.

    Genocide isn’t bad? Palestine and Israel are just neighbors despite Israel being on land stolen by the British and Israel being propped up by western powers to oppress Palestinians?

    You could say the same thing about almost any conflict.

    Share a common heritage (European/German)✓

    Keep killing each other ✓

    Shitty rulers who have no interest in their people’s well being ✓

    Seems like there were no bad guys in WW2/The Holocaust, because using power to oppress and conduct genocide isn’t what makes a bad guy apparently.
