I am not very knowledgable on this topic, so forgive me if I misspeak. For clarity, I am not pro Israel and I am not pro Palestine. What I really want is that people stop dying.

But to me, it seems there are very very few rational voices when it comes to this topic. Most Pro Palestine people talk about decolonizing Israel which essentially means relocation and genocide. The pro israel people talk about decolonizing Palestine or uprooting and destroying Hamas. This also is essentially the same. From my understanding, destroying Hamas would be like trying to destroy MAGA. It is an idea that a large percent of the people in Gaza share.

However, since a large percent of the Palestinian people hold this feeling, many many many pro Israel Christians take the stance that dropping bombs on toddlers or infants without discrimination is a very good and moral action that Israel should take. I have seen this position written in many forums.

From the little research I've done, I can certainly understand why the people of Palestine are angry or even hateful towards the people of Israel. Prior to 1948, Palestine was occupied by around 650,000 Jewish people and around 1.3 Palestinian people living in villages or rural areas.

In 1948, the United Nations declared that the land where these Palestinians should go the Jewish people so that Jewish people are safe from being relocated or persecuted. This resulted in around 700,000 Palestinian people being forced from their homes, villages, into a tiny area. This relocation was called the Nakba and tens of thousands of resisting Palestinian people lost their lives during it.

I don't know what life was like for the average Palestine person before this, but a google search on the abandoned Palestinian village of Lifta shows it must have been a very beautiful and pleasant existence.

Now around 2 million Palestinian people are squeezed into the Gaza strip which is a fenced in area which is 25 miles long and 7 miles wide. It really is literally a prison as it is nearly impossible to leave this fenced in area. It really seems like a shit hole to me, and I would be filled with anger and despair also if I knew that my descendants were condemned to live here forever because they are not the "chosen people."

Some Christians suggest that nearby Muslim countries should take in those people. Why? They were not the ones that created this problem? Some Western leaders are suggesting that USA and other Western Nations should take them in...I say Hell no to that!

But in the end, what solution is there for this unjust and inhumane situation?
