Palestine

The historical homeland of the Jews, now called Israel.

The name originated from the Romans, who forced it upon the Jews as punishment for the uprising of Simon Bar Kokhba lasting from 132 CE. - 136 CE.

The name was later used by the British while dividing up the Middle East with other world powers.

"Hey dude, you traveling to the middle east?"
"Yeah man, I'm going to Palestine."
"Don't you mean Israel?"
"Whatever man, you know it's really always been the same place"

October 7th, 2023

On this day, The Terrorist Organization Hamas, launched a highly coordinated attack with help from Terror states such as Iran, on the people of southern Israel, from the Gaza Strip, much on video.
They murdered, raped, beheaded, and burned alive almost anyone they found, most of them civilians.
They also abducted, over 200 hostages.

As of now, October 20th, over 1,400 Israelis have been confirmed dead and thousands more injured.

Following the massacre, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war on the terrorist organization,

vowing "mighty vengeance," with the goal of wiping them out once and for all.

Soon after, Israel launched operation "Swords of Iron" resulting in mass, targeted air strikes, in the Gaza Strip on military positions, which are purposefully located in residential areas by Hamas, to maximize casualties.

A siege was also put in place by Israel, with certain areas cut off from Israeli water, electricity, and fuel, which Israel had been providing Gaza for free for years, in order to force the population out of the area, so the IDF could eradicate Hamas - who live under said residential areas in tunnels - with minimal civilian death.

Hamas had previously, and continues to, launch rockets at civilian populations in Israel, as well as using their own people as human shields, ever since they took power in 2007.

They use international funding and supplies - meant for their people - for themselves and their cause of terror.

"Do you know what in Israel by those pieces of human trash?"
"Yeah...It was yesterday on October 7th, 2023."
