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.

    In 1948, just after WWII, the UK decided to carve a chunk out of Palestine and create a new state there, called Israel - as a Jewish homeland that would take all the refugees that the rest of Europe didn’t want to deal with

    That’s not what happened.

    Firstly, the Balfour Declaration was in 1917, during World War I.

    Secondly, Britain never partitioned the land. I think you’re getting confused with the UN’s partition plan, which was never implemented.
