    It’s almost as if different groups of people have been fighting over the same smidge of land for a really long time.

      Honestly, probably the most contested* area throughout history. Maybe after Anatolia, but that has been relatively peaceful in my lifetime so it feels different.

      *And by that I mean contested by the most powerful players at their respective times. I’m sure there are places that have had more consistent fueds at a much smaller scale.

        Well humans have been fighting each other since before civilization began and that area is one of the oldest civilized areas.

    Why is the Jewish part highlighted? You can be Jewish and from Palestine, but right after that is written “Galilee (Formerly Palestine, now Northern Israel)” Which completely invalidates what this post is trying to say. Why act like someone alive thousands of years ago has some kind of stake in this war? I’m sure that if Jesus existed, he would probably disapprove of genocide, terrorism, and war all together.

    As if being Palestinian and jewish is mutually exclusive. Maybe it is now, but it wasn’t like that since forever.
