It's complicated with a lot of folks caught in the middle. You have Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, etc wanting to genocide Israel and then you have Israel that gives no fucks.<p>What was the spark, Hamas very well knew they could not win, some say it was Russia/Iran that wanted a broader war where the Arab countries would join in knowing it would draw in the USA. This would certainly help Russian/Iranian interests right now with the War Russia is waging on Ukraine. I feel like it's all about weakening the West and causing discourse through out western society. The players like Russia, Iran, North Korea, China all want our Western world to fail.<p>Maybe we're due for another WW, it will play out the way it plays out I suppose.
