I genuinely do not know who the bad guys are. S lot of my leftist friends are against Israel, but from what I know Israel was attacked and is responding and trying to get their hostages back.

Enlighten me. Am I wrong? Why am I wrong?

And dumb it down for me, because apparently I'm an idiot.

  • 1896 CE: Theodor Herzl writes โ€œThe Jewish Stateโ€
  • 1897 CE: Theodor Herzl writes โ€œMauschelโ€

Herzl believed that there were two types of Jews, Jiden (Yids) and Juden (Jews), and considered any Jew who openly opposed his proposals for a Zionist solution to the Jewish question to be a Mauschel. The article has often been taken, since its publication, to be emblematic of an antisemitic strain of thinking in Zionism, and has been described as an antisemitic rant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Herzl

Due to his Zionist work, he is known in Hebrew as Chozeh HaMedinah (ื—ื•ึนื–ึตื” ื”ึทืžึฐื“ึดื™ื ึธื”), lit.โ€‰'Visionary of the State'. He is specifically mentioned in the Israeli Declaration of Independence and is officially referred to as "the spiritual father of the Jewish State".
