The Israelis and Palestinians are fighting over the same land because they both think it's The Holy Land. The Palestinians had laid claim to it for hundreds of years (I think) and then the state of Israel took over the same land in 1950, which of course pissed off the Palestinians. Fighting ensued. The US, which is a massive military power backed the Israelis (because we have a bunch of Jews/Israelis with very deep pockets), which pissed off the Palestinians even more.

Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I don’t remember all the details but after, I think ww2, a bunch of land was promised to Israel but that same land was also promised to Palestine. Do these two groups had a claim to the same land to call their country.
It couldn’t just be divided in half as they both claimed some areas as their religious sites and didn’t want to give that up.
Eventually it was settled and the land was divided between the two countries. But through legal loopholes and stuff Israel was able to claim some additional land.
But the end result is that there are two groups who have been at each others throats forever.
I’m not from this region or have a say in it. The facts I stated are not entirely accurate, it’s just what I could remember at the moment from some video I watched at some point.
So, if you read or hear conflicting information just go with what the other person said.
If I got something wrong please post the correction.
If you are going to tell me that something is wrong and I shouldn’t post it because it’s misinformation, then fuck off. No one else has posted anything and I’m just trying to help out based on memory. If you can do a better job explaining it do it and I’ll delete my comment.

TBH I don't really care either, but here is the simple fact. The ongoing war in Gaza, is HAMAS against Israel.
HAMAS is not Palestine. HAMAS are liars and terrorists, and promote themselves with propaganda and lies, so they can grow in numbers. HAMAS are not interested in making a better Palestine.
Let this Palestinian explain it to you: https://www.prageru.com/video/a-palestinian-explains-hamas
Oh and if you are uncertain: the enemy is probably the one driving around with naked dead people in the back of their truck, bragging about what they did. That woman, they killed, stripped naked and mounted on the back of the truck to parade around - was a German.
