The Bible is replete with stories of the Philistines attacking the Israelites. King David’s youthful encounter with Goliath, a mighty Philistine warrior, is but one of these examples. Goliath lived in Gath, which is now part of Gaza. Gaza is mentioned in the Bible as one of the Philistine cities.

During the Roman Empire, this region was renamed to “Palaestina” following the Bar Kokhba revolt to punish the Jews with the name of their enemies. Emperor Hadrian renamed the land for the Jews’ archenemies, the Philistines.
But Jews remained in the land until the rebirth of Israel in May 1948. The small and scattered population of Arabs identified as Ottomans before 1917. When the entire empire collapsed, they identified as Arabs, not Palestinians. The creation of Palestinian identity only began in the 1960s with the rise of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), which was a terrorist group.
Fuck the Bible. Israel is dropping 200 pound bombs on children. I don’t condone Hamas’ killing of civilians but what Israel is doing in retaliation is barbaric. And many believe their goal is to implement an agenda which existed long before the Hamas attack, to establish “Greater Israel” and reduce the population of Palestinians in it so Jews constitute a majority.

Forgive me but it's just not as simple as that. The military operation by hamas on october seventh was an opportunity for me to find out more about israel and the conflicts over there. What I found out completely changed my mind about israel. It's not too hard to find that information... if you want to.
That's true. It is never hard to find out more (opinions or twisted fact). Have you seen the maps depicting that area in ancient times? Did you find out that the Arabs did not have a religion until after the Christians had formed large areas throughout the Middle East and Europe? That one Arab in particular was responsible for gathering the momentum to invent a religion to eventually remove the Christians, which they successfully did and forced the Muslim religion on every country in Asia and the Middle East on penalty of death if they did not convert?
History has been re-written so many times by later generations that only those that use the writing found at the time can make any truthful statements. Post 1960 shows two sides to the coin of this area and longstanding hatred for the Jews by all peoples makes it easy to side with the haters.
I just read Charles Eisenstein's substack "Friends Don't Let Friends Destroy Themselves" If you read it, what do you think? He is a philosopher and advisor to RFKJr.

None of this divulges what I think.
