Who is the aggressor here?

Hamas on Oct 7th

  • Many people would disagree if you look at the history starting from the Nakba.

    • The Nakba, you mean when all neighboring Arab countries said "hey Palestinians, step out of the way, we'll kill the Jews real quick and then you can have all the land"?

      And then lost the war they've started?

      Yes, that's a catastrophe for Arabs, just like losing WW2 was a catastrophe for certain Germans. And also for those in Germany who were exiled from their (sometimes extensive) land, no matter what they thought of the war and its outcome.

      Eastern Prussian didn't then go and tried to kill the Western German president when the FRG took them in, though. Besides some whining by a few select bunch, that chapter is closed.

      Not so for the Arabs for whom the "Nakba" was and is that the military campaign failed and not that Palestinians now live in misery.
