I am not Jewish. I am barely Catholic. BUT- I support Israel. As best as I can tell Israel is not evil. Hamas and Iran are evil and want to eradicate the Jews.
That part of the world began as wandering nomads between the early civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt.
It then became Cannan, tribes of Mesopotamians.
Then for a long, long time It was Egypt. Then for a time Alexander the Great’s, then the Roman Empire’s and then once again Egypt. Then for around 1400 years it was the Ottoman Empire’s
It was long inhabited by Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
In 1918, after the Ottoman Empire lost the war, Britain was given responsibility for administering that region.
Britain created Palestine as a homeland for the Jews and Jordan for the Arabs.
The Arabs never accepted the presence of the Jews, and continued to battle and resist.
Britain turned the problem over to United Nations who in 1947 proposed boundaries for Israel for the Jews. The United Nations Security Council accepted these boundaries in 1948.
On the eve of these boundaries beginning, the Arab countries invaded what was to be Israel. They lost. Upon losing this invasion Israel occupied the Gaza strip, and the West Bank.
Around 1956, 1967, and 1972 the Arabs tried invading Israel three times. They lost.
Israel has repeatedly proposed and accepted two state solutions.
Israel tried to give Gaza back to the Egyptians. They don’t want it.
Israel unilaterally left the Gazza strip to allow the Arabs remaining there, calling themselves Palestinians, to rule as they please. The Palestinians elected Hamas who then ruined Gaza and made it a terrorist Haven.
Israel is not evil.
Iran and their terrorist organizations, Hamas and Hezbollah, are evil and have a stated goal of destroying Israel and actively work to do so.
There is an easy way to stop the deaths in the Middle East.
Hamas can lay down their weapons and unconditionally surrender.
Iran can accept the existence of Israel and stop promoting its destruction.
