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.

      Thanks for the resource. Couldn’t find references to casualties on German civilians inflicted by the ZOB, it’s all SS, Gestapo, and soldiers.

      The ZOB now carried out a programme designed to rid the Jewish population of hostile elements and of those individuals who collaborated with the Germans.

      That’s the closest I can find. And “individuals who collaborated with the Germans” suggest Jews considered as traitors

        If you don’t consider current and former cops (collaborator gestapo) to be in that category then presumably you would say the same for current and former IDF soldiers, i.e. basically every Israeli swttler, especially in kibbutzim.

          I mean, let’s say they are for the sake of argument, what Palestinian kibbutzim/IDF did Hamas target on Oct 7? That’s an apples-to-apples analogy of the source provided.

          Did the ZOB seek out people like German women, children, elderly?

            Kibbutz and IDF are Israeli settler entities, not Palestinian.
