You mean the war topic or the thread as a whole? Because there's been hostility over literally every subject. It's inevitable for political talk since so many got a personal attachment to their political views.
Just the whole Israel vs Palestine topic that's been having members go back and forth on which side is worse than the other.
This back and forth debate seems to be coming to a close though.
Edit: It wasn't the first time in history that one country made the decision to declare total destruction over the other in retaliation for an attack made on them. The Palestinian citizens getting caught in the crossfire (
including the displacemnt of a whopping 1.9 million people) is a major tragedy, but it's the aftereffect of a retaliatory offensive assault from Israel and its soldiers that want blood against the people that wronged them.
Tensions still high between the two sides and it's pretty much a guarantee that a significant percentage of Israeli soldiers don't care much, if at all for the lives of Palestinians.
After all, from the POV of the Israelis, why should they lend sympathy towards the people of an enemy state/country/whatever when the Palestinians are the people that harbor grudges against them even though those Palestinian terrorists were the ones that made a preemptive attack first?
According to the United Nations, 1.9 million people were displaced in Gaza as of October 2024 out of a population of 2.2 million people. This report examines the Israeli authorities’ conduct which has led to this extraordinarily high level of displacement and finds these actions amount to forced displacement. Given the evidence strongly indicates that multiple acts of forced displacement were carried out with intent, it amounts to war crimes. The report further finds that the Israeli government’s acts of forced displacement are widespread and systematic. Statements by senior officials with command responsibility show that forced displacement is intentional and forms part of Israeli state policy and therefore amount to a crime against humanity. Israel’s actions appear to also meet the definition of ethnic cleansing.
The devastating consequences of large-scale war destroys the lives of innocents way more than the lives of the instigators and the soldiers actually fighting in the conflict.
