        I don’t follow any News sources so most of my News just comes from Social Media (I do try to factcheck tho) and most of the things that I actually see are American Politics, I heard about the Israel Gaza conflict existing that was all really.

            Do I interact with other people? Yes? Do I have friends who I can/do talk to about politics? I wish.

            We consider it inpolite to talk world politics with friends here. That’s news stuff, not person stuff.

          Well, it’s been a very big topic in American politics since Oct. 7th, as the majority of Americans have now become aware that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians with our tax dollars, and most of our politicians are complicit. Even the right-wing has largely woken up to this, though there is some extra baggage in their case.

      They have been carrying out the complete destruction of the Gaza strip and slaughter of the Palestinian people who live there. It’s a part of current flare up of the conflict which began on October 7th 2023 after the Hamas attack on Israel, although the Israel-Palestine conflict as a whole has been ongoing for decades.

      Scholars have identified Israel’s actions as genocide because the actions they have taken are consistent with actions that would be associated with trying to eliminate an entire people. Indiscriminate killing, withholding and blocking of aid, targeting hospitals, cutting electricity, and general dehumanisation.
