The Israel-Palestine conflict explained on basis of historic facts, logical thinking and zero-brainwash by any of the 2 factions. One must know history to understand actions and motivations, especially when a conflict happens between people who think that their side has to have the upper hand and be morally more correct than the other. Fools, idiots and brainwashed 100%-pro-Israel won't read this, but YOU as an individual capable of critical thinking might find this interesting. A lot of stuff is not teached in school, and even i had to refresh many details even though i studied international politics for some years. Let us begin, but also let us feel compassion and mourn the loss of life on all sides. International diplomacy is the only way forward and sadly there's too much warmongering right now to focus on that. I give you simple to understand points and encourage you to share this post with anybody in the western world who might need updated info!

  1. Over the course of thousands of years many cultural groups, ethnic groups, immigrant people, native born people and conquering powers ruled over the region that is nowadays Palestine. Based on this simple fact and that humans create traditions, links, compassion for their homes and so on, it's not surprising that BOTH groups of people/faiths claim to have historic roots in the same region. The point here: While european Jews (+/- radical zionist factions within the jewish community [Zion: the old homeland] started to immigrate in decades of immigration waves into the region, nobody cared much about the arabic/palestinian people who normally already lived there since 1000+ years.
  2. Things got complicated when throwing the colonial powers like Great Britain into the cauldron of chaos. Irrational political decisions in London, the ignorance towards the actual people of Palestine at the end of the 19th century, tiny stones are literally thrown against a fragile building made of glass. The point here: Palestinian fears of more and more foreigners/europeans/zionists [from their perspective] entering an already populated region with established social, cultural and economic system might cause damage and unrest, remained largely unheard in the western seats of power. Radical pro-Israel lobby people often use the argument that palestinian standpoint is immediately violent and unable to talk things on diplomatic levels. History tells us though, that in the beginning of the conflict, many years of political speeches, petitions, travels to the western seats of power happened and that many Palestinians did UNDERSTAND the SUFFERING of the opressed jewish communities in european countries. Anti-Semitism is no magic invention of just one group of people or country. We in western countries must never forget that lots of Anti-Semitism happened in our countries... which then ended in the horrors of Nazi-Germany/pogroms/war [see russian empire if you websearch for more].
  3. When you live your daily life and suddenly [increasing numbers] of foreigners come into your town or village and tell disrespectful stuff like "the Thora tells us as superior holy source that we can take the land we desire by any means", then what exactly can develop from such radical zionist movement logic other than DEGRADING THE OTHER SIDE, ridicule the other side and use violence instead of political talk and compromise. The point here: Violence is no invention of just one group of people. A group entering a region where others already live opted to use also violence to get land. No need to make a list of attacks from both factions. But people in the west need to understand that jewish/zionist radicals actively affirmed methods of TERRORISM to take land which they felt was their historic homeland - regardless of consequences in the present day with totally changed ethnic situation in the region - and in utter disregard of the palestinian lives lost as a cost [see Deir Yassin massacre for example].
  4. Israeli state/lobby powers combined with uneducated opinions and media in the western countries led to a decades long misconception or propaganda bs in form of "Yeah ok, there might be no fully innocents on both sides, but the Arabs in Palestine said 'NO' to a big United Nations partition plan in 1947/48 or in that time period. It could have granted long lasting peace for both nations. - TO HELL WITH THIS PROPAGANDA! Any halfway intelligent human would instantly ask about DETAILS and how a proposed "compromise" would be interpreted on both sides - in this text with focus on Palestine. The point here: The people of Palestine were reportedly not asked, foreigners in far away countries came up with a randomly drawn map, distributing land (that was factually the land of Palestinians) to immigrants who wanted that land and were able to gather western countries' support. Break this mindblowing bs down for any average american or european home-owner. Somebody in Sweden or Japan or Portugal tells you to give your current possession & farmland & your house to a stranger from region *X* on the planet, bc that stranger had ancestors who lived on your land some 2000-3000 years ago [numbers are symbolic here but it's almost that long historic heritage].
  5. The political slap in the face, the insult of the entirety of Palestine: Israeli state propaganda and its western allies constructed another important and sadly functioning story. They often say that even with a not 100% fair partition plan the Palestinians could have gotten better economy and that's ok to let Isrelis take control of agriculture bc they're more efficient in doing so. Also the Palestinians would have gotten civil rights and stuff WITHIN that partition plan's state of Israel. The point or problem: Many texts or plans or proposals made in western seats of power avoided to attribute the people of Palestine as an equally respected nation. De-facto respect that was offered to the jewish people who wanted to build a state of Israel was NOT GIVEN equally as RESPECT to the Palestinians. They were written in the United Nations or negotiation papers as if they're second class citizens in a state of foreigners/immigrants. Even worse, radical israeli politicians [but there were also smart ones who understood the catastrophy and growing chaos], proposed that jewish settlements would be expanded anyway, regardless of any border drawn on that fantasy map and against any protest of Palestinians.
  6. Conclusion: Blood was shed by both sides in an almost unsolvable and chaotic historic cauldron. Terrorism happened on both sides. Both group of people/nations FEEL love and commitment and compassion for the same region. Some bc their ancestors lived there, some bc their culture and nation grew for more than 1000+ years in the region. Western powers ignored, lied to and degraded especially the Palestinians for several decades!!! Nobody was smart enough to create TRULY FAIR peace talks and compromises when there was a chance around 1947+ and the rest is just a tip of the iceberg that is usually shown in western news shows. Angry and militant palestinian youth throwing tiny rocks at israeli tanks. Nobody actually asks about the roots and causes. The far right Netanyahu government of Israel increased rethorical and political pressure on Palestine, and now they might get a free pass for basically taking over even more of the palestinian socio-economic system. A nation without land is a hungry wolf, the other nation shall not wonder as to why the hungry wolf bites. Decades of insult and false diplomatic moves from global powers led to disillusioned Palestinians and the result is new bloodshed. Praying for any victim of the disgusting Hamas attack is one side of the coin. The other side of the coin would be to prosecute radical israeli settlers who attacked and murdered Palestinians in recent years and to start a truly fair peace plan talk in which for the first time since beginning of the conflict the Palestinians are seen as equals, as a nation with the full right of self-government in exactly 50% of the land. Guess what: not even this basic stuff was possible in the "compromises" offered by the western powers or UN plans. Logically the Palestinians said 'No' several times. Any of us would do the same if the other faction is holding a gun to your head. [Personal opinion, i'm 100% neutral and not payed or brainwashed by any faction!!!]

RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE

"It definitely stays secret until after the election. And I know it'll be messy. But if we can get ahead of the narrative, wait for the right time and do it on our own terms, I think it could be okay." "How long have you been thinking about this?" "Consciously? Since, like, the DNC. Subconsciously, in total denial? A long-ass time. At least since you kissed me." Henry stares at him from the pillow. "That's... kind of incredible"
