Robo - go back farther to illustrate what is going on with those wars and who pays who. And why.

Israel was established smack in the middle of Palestine, and Palestinians where immediately second class citizens, many moved into camps that all these years later are still camps. After the 1968 war a faction of ultra conservative Israelis decided that encroaching on Palestinian lands was the way to go and the Israeli government has largely condoned it. Abuse, theft, murder by "settlers" who are pirates and thieves. The US stupidly supported the Israeli government without insisting on the respect of borders and due process for Palestinians.

A lot of the attacks and support of subversive groups is because in the Muslim region of the world a lot of people are fed up with the Israeli government's sanctioning of all of this (as someone said above - you'd think Israel would know better than to subject their neighbors to pogroms and ghettos and mass starvation and everything they themselves experienced before and during the WWII years. The only thing missing are gas chambers.)

Until Israel is brought under control and starts acting like a good neighbor in the region, there will always be anger directed their way. And a lot of the world has figured this out. The October 6 attack was awful, but it shouldn't have been unexpected. And the way Israel has ground Gaza down to a fine dust, now they're doing it to many other countries in the Middle East - it's partly a proxy war and partly supreme lunacy because two old white men who face prison sentences when they are no longer in office are churning up the world as a distraction from their personal crimes. And the governments that should be shouting "STOP!" are letting them get away with it.

As always, read this as the Israeli government. A large number of Israeli citizens are just as angry about what is going on and are not the subject of this screed. Just as a lot of US citizens are angry at wars and what Trump is doing to our government and are not who are included when I say "the US supported" something. The government is not, alas, the same as the people.
