So the conflict between Israel and Hamas is still a thing.
It began when Hamas, the terrorist group that is also the ostensible governing authority of Gaza, decided it would be a good idea to lob a shit ton of missiles and a shit ton of armed fighters into Israel, a country with one of the strongest and most super trained militaries in the world and would have zero hesitation in responding to Hamas killing over a thousand Israel civilians with the full weight and power of that military and make Hamas pay for their reckless and deadly foray into Israel.
Except Hamas ain't paying for shit.
There are 2.3 million Palestinian civilians who live in Gaza.
About half have fled their homes, resulting in an humanitarian crisis for the refugees.
It's also a crisis for those who are still in Gaza who are rationing food and left with only drinking dirty water.
To be honest, even before Israel started putting the squeeze on Gaza, Palestinians were getting fucked over by Hamas. Money, time and effort that could've gone towards taking care of the citizens of Gaza went instead to armaments for a terribly misguided attack on Israel.
Meanwhile, Israel is treating the Palestinian civilians in their path as much the enemy as Hamas.
And that's the best handle I have on any of this.
