      Some people define the two sides as Hamas and Israel which is awkward cause I can’t criticize Hamas for wanting to fight the Israelis but I can criticize them for being a Right Wing organization set up and funded by the Israelis to weaken the PLO and Palestinian unity.

        The Israeli funding is a fairly recent development. They were doing fine on russian and Iranian funding for all the decades they were around and shouting “death to Israel”.

            Because they’re religious fundamentalists whose entire existence is defined by the fact that they want to destroy Israel. It’s in their charter.

            Political reasons aside - they’re psychopathic fundamentalists.

          That’s not true. Israeli money has been flowing into the US before the establishment of Israel.
