So when it comes to politics/news/war i try to burry my head as deep in sand as i can because there is nothing i can do and i guess i just wanna avoid . So can someone explain to me all about it without any bias or give me any links/articles which does that ? I know this has been going on for a long time but i only need the important things and need it all to be readable under an hour.

The reason i am asking now is i now have come to terms after the immolition of aaron bushnell that i can no longer burry my head in the sand and hope for it to go away . also there is some protests going on and i would like to join but i don’t wanna join in something i don’t understand and would like to make my own views. I visited reddit and they are shitting on aaron and calling him mentally unstable which makes me want to punch them but they make a point he left his daughters behind while i can see the merit in that point one could also argue he is trying to make the world better for them according to his belief anyway the christians are arguing about his soul in there and it makes me wanna vomit so not gonna take anything from that shithole seriously.

I would also like to lbow why usa and russia .etc stand where they stand and they have to gain from it ? Also as i said i would like unbiased as it gets answers and make my own view . Thanks in advance.

PS: spelling as i have typed this in a hurry EDIT :Don’t downvote it to hell if you can’t be bothered to answer let someone else do it.

    Unfortunately this isn’t a simple situation. I will definitively say though that suicide, especially like that should never be glorified. On the other hand, he shouldn’t just be denigrated and unfortunately I’ve seen plenty of both. In my opinion, he was already not mentally healthy and recent events have pushed him over the edge. It is also possible that there were other unrelated things happening in his life that affected things too.

    As for the “good” or “bad” guys, it isn’t that simple. There are a ton of good and bad actors throughout the conflict. IMO a good place for crowd sourcing reading material is r/israelpalistine Between all the garbage, there are actually a decent amount of references to proper sources. I know that Benny Morris is considered pretty authoritative about the history of the conflict.

    In addition, there is a ton of bias and straight up made up stuff that can be very hard to pick through. Besides the parties directly involved, there are also a ton of others trying to leverage this to their own goals. EG. Iran vs Saudi Arabia, US vs Russia, etc.

    Personally for this specific war, I don’t see how after Hamas demonstrated that they’re a credible threat with the October 7th massacre and promised to repeat it, Israel could have continued letting them run Gaza. I hope and advocate for long term peace, but I just don’t see how that can happen with Hamas involved. TBF I don’t see how that can happen with certain Israeli MPs too, but they can be directly dis-empowered through elections.
