The Arabs have started every single conflict with the Israelis. It is nothing like Russia and Ukraine.
"The Arabs", it was a terrorist group that an entire demographic is being punished for (collective punishment is a war crime), 35000 people have been killed, mostly civilians.
Do you think that Israel would be using the same tactics if hamas was hiding among it's own population?
Yes, it's genocide.
It depends when you stop, while holding down the rewind button. If you stop at Arab attacks every time you are correct but wrong in doing so
You know, all the conflicts, except the one where an exiting, invasive power, gave massive amounts of their land, to a foreign group of people, who began locking the locals out of as much of the government, and economic, structure as possible. Then started a long string of agreeing to what ethnic group gets what, then forcing them out as the foreigners wanted more land.
The British could have not just given away the land, that other people had occupied for thousands of years, to Europeans they wanted to move somewhere else, because they were in the process of dumping the colony anyways. The European Jews could have realized they were simply replacing an invading power. Decided to work on developing business with the local population, instead of leaning into zionist nationalism, claiming because ancestors, thousands of years ago, once lived there, they were owed it. They decided to take, instead of cooperate. This is the root of this conflict.
This one is a little bit different. I've seen claims of Hamas been supported by Israeli admin (against other factions?) and that reports about the preparation of the october attack were ignored. Are these worth the ink they are printed with?
yes, Bibi has sent suitcases of cash to Hamas in the past. It's really messed up. I should add 'allegedly', but it's not necessary.
Side note that this graph is already 10 years old. It might be a trend...
