There are 3 actual issues with izrael/palestine.

1. Chronic ignorance of palestinian suffering caused by israel (which help hamas recruit people).

2. Acute problem of hamas and his horrible act of barbaric terorism, mass murder, kidnaping… of civilians which can't be excused by 1, and need to be adressed

3. Acute problem mass murder of palestinians by israel state (from my point of view they try commit genocide (i can't call it differently when they attack civilian targets, block humanitarian aid, droped bombs near border crossing after they told to palestinians to flee)), which can't be excused by 2 and also need to be adressed

Our media mostly ignored 1 for years and now they mostly focus on 2. But we also see some coverage on 3.

Maybe it's time to go deeper on the facts. As it often is with simplified infographics a lot of context is left out and as we all know, context is king.

1) If we truly want to understand. we cannot start in 1918 (or even worse in 1948) The entire region has a complicated history spanning literally thoushands of years and unfortunately in this particular case it is important.

2) Neither side is guilt free. Both sides have done and continue doing awful things to the other side(s).

3) For me, the blame goes mostly to the british empire and it's imperial tactics of divide and conquer. The imperial foreign policy was so successful, that we see it's effect even to this day.

4) There is no arab/muslim Palestine. Palestine was an artificial construct invented by the Roman elites after christianization of the Roman Empire. The name Palestine is derived from the name Philistines, an ancient greek nation/culture.

5) There were multiple attempts to estabilish a two state solution, pretty much always agreed to by the jews and always declined by the arabs/muslims. One of the proposals can be seen in the infographics.

6) The often talked about power inbalance in the region is not a constant. It was the other way around in the beginning of the 20th century.
