Israel has been mask of for decades already. I remember the news when I was a kid. "Another Palestinian kid shot dead because he threw a stone at an Israeli soldier". It felt weekly, there was always something
Many people truly think history started after october 7. Israel been doing this since before our parents were born.
Not true.
My living dad is older than Israel. It is very young.
Well then let me rephrase, Israel been doing this since your dad was a kid.
To be clear, that isn't a pro Zionist comment. Sometimes people try to justify Israel's existence as if that land was always Israel and it is a useful metric to point out that no, it was a new creation and doesn't have any time based legitimacy.
Also, I'm a pedant. :/

Everlast wrote a song about it almost two decades ago.
It is very important to know that Israel was always like this and dearabization was always their goal. Their founding members saw every "arab" as an enemy no matter what.
Also most eu countries still hide behind mask
The U.S. is attacking sovereign nations in contravention of international law. All those Americans who said Israel citizens are responsible for their government committing genocide seem awfully quiet right now.
They are the bad guys
They're threatening all of Lebanon, not just Hezbolah, because Lebanon government won't stop them. Fun fact: Israel has prevented Lebanese army from having any weapons since they put them in power.
Israel wants more "Lebensraum." At some point they will turn their guns and US financing toward Jordan.
