For me, blogging is about sharing things that are either important or interesting with people

 Without enough useful knowledge about the world it is hard to be a good citizen or a good voter. And good citizens protect our country from all harm internal or external. In this way we also tend to protect the whole world from harm both internal and external as well. This has been the hallmark of the U.S. at least since World war II and the invention of the United Nations as a way to prevent larger and sometimes smaller wars between nations.

For example, younger voters of both parties tend to be very short sighted in that they never understood World War II, the Great Depression or World War I and how we all got to where we are now on earth. So, they don't undertsand what is actually happening in Israel or Gaza from a larger context.

I think if you are viewing all this historically the main reason that Israel exists at all in it's present form is that the whole world felt sorry for the Jewish people who lost at least 6 million of their numbers in Europe to Hitler's gas ovens and concentration camps.

If you don't start there then the Nazi like Government that Netanyahu has selfishly created makes no sense at all to any young people.

If you are looking at the world in the Middle East right now it is easy for someone like myself to see Putin behind what Iran and Hezbollah and Hamas are doing there. Putin wants all the oil of the middle east and control of it. He sees this as one of his goals. Understanding this is fundamental to understanding what is happening in Gaza caused by Putin's planned and paid for raid into Israel.

He stirred up a hornets nest and the likely result of this Hamas attack is eventually the end of Israel.

On one level it is easy to see how Putin's attack of Israel by Hamas helps him win Ukraine too by syphoning off N|ATOs resources in another direction towards Israels neighbors like Yemen who are killing shipping ships one by one in the Red Sea and cutting off shipping traffic through the Suez Canal forcing ships to travel around Africa rather than going through the Suez conal which is also causing extreme inflation for oil all over the world in what people are paying for it.

However, young people often see this as a victimization and genocide of the people of Gaza which is also true.

And I wouldn't put it past Netanyahu to have known about hte October 7th attack before it happened and letting it happen just to keep himself in power longer and wiping out Gaza completely.(WHICH IS SURE TO END ISRAEL COMPLETELY EVENTUALLY TOO)
