So when it comes to politics/news/war i try to burry my head as deep in sand as i can because there is nothing i can do and i guess i just wanna avoid . So can someone explain to me all about it without any bias or give me any links/articles which does that ? I know this has been going on for a long time but i only need the important things and need it all to be readable under an hour.
The reason i am asking now is i now have come to terms after the immolition of aaron bushnell that i can no longer burry my head in the sand and hope for it to go away . also there is some protests going on and i would like to join but i don’t wanna join in something i don’t understand and would like to make my own views. I visited reddit and they are shitting on aaron and calling him mentally unstable which makes me want to punch them but they make a point he left his daughters behind while i can see the merit in that point one could also argue he is trying to make the world better for them according to his belief anyway the christians are arguing about his soul in there and it makes me wanna vomit so not gonna take anything from that shithole seriously.
I would also like to lbow why usa and russia .etc stand where they stand and they have to gain from it ? Also as i said i would like unbiased as it gets answers and make my own view . Thanks in advance.
PS: spelling as i have typed this in a hurry EDIT :Don’t downvote it to hell if you can’t be bothered to answer let someone else do it.
Here’s my “I don’t have a side, and this what I’ve learned.” take:
The only “good guys” in this war, are the civilians getting killed.
The Hamas is a terrorist group that has essentially taken over the “Palestinian area” and they are blowing up Israel.
Israel doesn’t like that, (which they shouldn’t,) so to eliminate the Hamas they have been bombing schools and hospitals and shooting randomly into large crowds, (which they shouldn’t.)
Everybody wants the other people to stop killing their people, so they kill the other people, which causes the other people to kill more of the first people, and so on.
Many people who are not involved in the killing feel more of an attachment to one side than the other, so they would rather see that side succeed, and more times than not, they justify “their team’s” atrocities.
War. War never changes.
And why does the global super powers care ? And thanks.
Because money.
The super powers have trade agreements and alliances with these countries, and each other.
They could lose a lot of money, or other forms of support if they piss off an ally or an ally of an ally.
The US cares because Israel has been a long term dependable ally in a key region where it has few. Other Middle East allies are basically dictatorships where the alliance could easily be lost if there was regime change (see: Mali and some other African countries recently). In contrast all of Israeli society has had a positive opinion of the US for a long time which insulates the US against the risk of a change in government. Israel also has historically had a very well organized and powerful military even without US aid so they are much more useful than somewhere like Afghanistan where the military had essentially no substance beyond the support the US gave.
The Middle East is a key geopolitical region where the US wants to have military bases and allies because it produces much of the world’s oil and the US uses an insane quantity of oil. Other powerful nations like Russia also want influence there for similar reasons. In addition, they see this conflict as a way to damage US reputation in the region. US support for Israel has been extremely unpopular in the region for many decades and I predict the reputational damage from this incident will be huge.
That’s the basics of the geopolitics going on here but I also want to say that Israel is waging a genocidal campaign that has killed over ten thousand children and that needs to stop immediately. These other issues are secondary to that.
Yeah i agree with the last sentence you said
