I don’t think history is a factor in the way we think back to WW1 or WW2. Yes, it plays a role. But in my uninformed opinion it’s more people just hate each other. They’ve lost relatives because of the other side. They can’t have this happen to more people they like. Hospitals and power plants explode, people live in poverty. People die. Rockets get shot every day. Revenge takes place. I’d be pissed, too. People on both sides are living under constant attack. Religion and history gets on top and makes it yet more difficult. Politics is more focused on retaliation than compromise or working towards a solution. Agreements are short-lived and people show over and over they can’t be trusted. It’s a bad situation in every way.
Additionally there are some people who just like murdering civilians. And they’ll do if they get the opportunity.
Just to weigh in for once, since this is a common reply… That is certainly correct. But I think most people already know. Nonetheless, for some reason they still decide to ask strangers on the internet. I believe some people have their own reasoning behind that. I guess I just wanted to say that. Ultimately it’s not wrong to point out this is just a random and biased crowd of people who supposedly spend too much time on the internet. Some people also need to hear that.
