I really want to believe that Israel is good. But then I see a child being dragged out of rubble after being bombed. And now Israel bombed a refugee camp. It makes me question if they’re the good guys. How can I get rid of these conflicting thoughts in my head?
Realize that they aren't the good guys? That this petty land conflict has been raging on for decades, and it always hit the civilians on both sides (exponentially worse for the Palestinians). IDF and Hamas can fuck themselves.
But if Israel is the bad guys, then that would mean America and the Western world are bad guys too. I’d have to rethink what I’ve been taught and told my entire life. It would be more comfortable to just believe the lies I’ve been told. If I did want to accept that Israel and America are the bad guys, could you give me any advice on how to educate myself about the lies I’ve been told?
Yes. We (America) are also the bad guys.
More like America is the head of that snake.
They bombed it twice in 2 days
