I genuinely do not know who the bad guys are. S lot of my leftist friends are against Israel, but from what I know Israel was attacked and is responding and trying to get their hostages back.

Enlighten me. Am I wrong? Why am I wrong?

And dumb it down for me, because apparently I'm an idiot.

The good guys are aid workers and Palestinian and Israeli civilians who do not like the conflict.

๐Ÿ’ฏ this. The people doing the kidnapping, murdering, and genocide are the bad guys. The people trying to help are the good guys.

Can you please show me a single protest of an Israeli citizen against the war specifically because of the genocide?
