At the risk of sounding controversial. I'll state my opinion on the Hamas vs. Israel war that broke out yesterday. A little back story. Shortly after the United Forces beat douchebag Germany and Fascist Adolph Hitler, Israel was formed as a country as many Jews and Holocaust survivors moved there. There was just one catch. Palestinians were already settled there and resented Jewish settlers on their land. Fast forward to the 21st Century as now Israeli's and Palestinians
are kept separate by an apartheid system of separate and unequal, If a Palestinian dare cross the border on the Gaza strip they could be shot and killed as the Israeli state was attacking Palestinians all last summer.
Now Palestinian terrorists HAMAS has attacked Israeli's as there are reports of door to door assassinations and kidnappings. I assume this is retaliation of .ISRAEL killing Palestinians this year.
Will there ever be peace between the Palestinians and Israel.? Probably not in the Apartheid state of being. However, HAMAS attacking innocent civilians is NOT the answer. I hope Israel treats Palestinians better and ends the Apartheid state and I hope HAMAS ends right now. Peace.
BTW, there is an artist boycott on Israel and a call for an end to the apartheid state..
If your (metal or whatever) band is booked to play Israel, don't matter what your political opinion is, this NOT the right time to play there. Way too dangerous, war just broke out. I hope civilians on both sides stay SAFE, and I hope this war ends soon. WAGE PEACE, NOT WAR. , , .

Found this on IG and it really taps beautifully into my feelings and the feelings of many other American (and Israeli and other) Jews
Thank you @ZoeListerJones

Confirmed news: Israel has shut off all electricity to Gaza. It generates over half of the power to the strip. Reports are coming in that all the electricity has collapsed in Gaza. Actions have consequences.
