On his personal blog, Frenchie has posted an article full of facts about the current Israeli-Gaza conflict that you won't easily find anywhere else.
A PARADIGM SHIFT FOR ISRAEL AND PALESTINE
Also, you may want to read a decent entry about the conflict from Wikipedia.
The Gaza–Israel conflict is a localized part of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The conflict originated with the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2005. Following the withdrawal, Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian legislative election, and a civil war between Hamas and Fatah in 2007 culminated in Hamas gaining control over Gaza.[13][14] In response to Hamas's takeover, Egypt and Israel imposed an extensive blockade of the Gaza Strip that devastated Gaza's economy.[15] International rights groups have decried the blockade as a form of collective punishment,[16] while Israel defended it as necessary to prevent weapons and dual-use goods from entering the territory.[17][18] Since 2006, Hamas and Israel have fought five wars, the most recent in 2023.[19]
The Wiki article notes “the democratically elected Hamas-led government…,” which is at least one key to understanding this matter. Hitler was also “democratically elected,” and many innocent Germans - including those who did not vote for him, paid. In a biblical way, “the weeds will grow with the wheat.” God allows that. But in the end, all will be cut down and God will separate the two. Not sure what else to make of this.
