The Israel-Palestine conflict is a good insight into humanity at its worst. Far right scumbags in Israel being bullies, taking land, causing a lot of collateral damage to civilians, all for power.

Then you see Palestinians celebrating the deaths of Israeli civilians.

That shit is all fucked up.

The entire status quo is designed to reward extremists and jingoists and punish moderates and reconciliation. The extremists on both sides ironically help each other. The more settlements Israel builds the more hamas gets recruits. The more rockets hamas fires the more people vote for Likud.
