Why Making Sense Of Israel-Gaza Is So Hard

 I'm trying to say something about the Israel-Gaza War without being glib and without wasting your time.  I've made a list of topics that I think one needs to understand, at least somewhat, to start getting a sense of the complexity of this problem.  

Preview: [December 17, 2023]  This was a post that focused on 10.  GUERRILLA WARFARE  I put up earlier, but with this series in mind.  It includes an embedded copy of the classic movie about the independence movement's war against the French occupation:  Battle of Algiers.

Part I of this series is here. [January 18, 2024]  It identifies and briefly discusses the following topics I think important to be aware of when confronting the Israeli-Gaza war.

1.  PROPAGANDA, MISINFORMATION, OBLITERATION OF TRUTH

2.  THE PROBLEM OF NETANYAHU 

3A.  HISTORIC ANTI-SEMITISM

3B.  THE HOLOCAUST


Part II is here.  [January 21, 2024]   It looks at:

4. GENOCIDE

5. ZIONISM

6. ISRAELI MISTREATMENT OF PALESTINIANS 

7.  TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL - PALESTINIAN AND ISRAELI EDUCATION


Part III is here: [February 4, 2024] It discusses:

8.  RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS AND ISRAEL'S RIGHT WING TILT 

9.  IGNORANCE

10.  GUERRILLA WARFARE

11.  FACTORING IN WHAT'S HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES

 

Part IV is here: [February 13, 2024] Why Making Real Time Sense Of Israeli-Gaza War Is So Difficult - Part IV Hamas

Part IV focuses on Hamas - mainly on the Hamas charter which basically calls for the removal of Israel and replacing it with an Islamic state.  


Part V is here: [April 2, 2024]  Why Making Real Time Sense Of Israeli-Gaza War Is So Difficult - Part V - Observations - 

Part VI is here.  [April 28, 2024]  Considering the previous posts I pose the dilemma that Hamas and the Netanyahu government want conflicting outcomes, what criteria would an impartial adjudicator use to decide whose claims are valid.  Then I discuss why that would be hard to determine, let alone implement. I also added a map of the area.
