How many people that Hamas is sending out to "martyr" themselves were even alive in 1967?

It's a typical fascist tactic to make people upset about something that happened in a history book. The word fascist literally comes from Mussolini making a callback to the Roman Empire to make Italians upset over not ruling over lands that their long dead ancestors ruled over.

Obviously I'm talking about the hostilities that began on October 7. But you just can't pass up an opportunity to spread grievances over some historical wrongs that happened before any of us were born.

So 56 years is so long ago as to be ancient history that has no impact on the politics of today? Everyone involved in the conflict is less than 56 years old? Learn to actually form an argument, instead of calling fascist at the first opportunity, especially when you’re arguing on the side of Likud.

It’s impossible to view the October attack in isolation when it is a direct consequence of the chain of events and continuous prolonged period of hostility described in my previous comment. Pull a different one.
