So. Basically this conflict goes back a long way, much longer than the current tensions and most recent history would have people believe. But both Israelis and Palestinians stem from the same original ancestors, both have claims to the land, and both are fighting what amounts to a religious war against one another spurred on by the US (on the side of the Israeli’s), and Iran (on the side of Hamas/Palestinians).

They each want to oust the other, and have increasingly done some really really war crime worthy things to one another in the name of oppression or rightful ownership and “peace negotiations”. As a result neither one is really honestly looking for a peaceful resolution and the US gets to sell weapons to Israel, and Netanyahu gets what he wants which is destabilization of the region. All at the cost of innocent civilians on both sides.
