- Israel/Palestine hate goes back generations and both have done terrible things reclaiming land that each believes is theirs.
- Most recently, 3 Israeli teens were killed. Israel blames Palestine. They say it wasn’t them.
- A day after the 3 teens were buried, a Palestinian boy was found murdered in supposed retaliation. Riots begin.
- Hamas (governs Gaza strip, classified by US as terror org) launches ~150 rockets into Israel July 8, 2014
- Israel reports no deaths and launches Operation Protective Edge. Bombs the sh*t out of Gaza and kills Hamas leaders.
- Israel also calls up 40,000 reserve troops. A ground offensive may or may not be necessary.
