Who is Israel fighting
I am trying to figure out who are they fighting with. I look at a map of the country and is Gaza apart of the country or are they another country. I thought Gaza was just a big city or something

The entire nation of Israel is on land that was confiscated from Jordan to make a nation state for Israel. Some people who lived in those lands refused to leave and really hate the Jews. Over the decades they have remained in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank…. They still hate the Jews but they remain and so the troubles continue.

@Muthafukajones Interestingly, the Arabs who stayed in Israel are citizens. 20% of Israelis are not Jewish. Meanwhile, many Israelis are descended from Jews who were expelled from the Arab countries after Israel was formed.

@Muthafukajones Wrong. Isreal and Jordan were created at the same time via UN partition. Called the Balfour Agreement

@Muthafukajones Hatred and fear of Jews as “the other” is not unique to Israel and the Middle East.
Even in supposedly enlightened places like the US, people often use antisemitic tropes like Jews control money and banking and Jews control the media. I’ve seen such ideas expressed on this very website.
Ever hear someone talk about being jewed down on a price or being jewed out of their money? How do you think it feels for a Jewish person to hear that?
Antisemitism is world’s oldest and most virulent form of hatred.

@Muthafukajones it goes a whole lot further back than that.
