I just have always kinda ignored it and have a massive hole in my understanding.

I understand the UN officially created Israel in 1947, and that would have effectively "stole" land but...

Did it? I have many lefty friends but most the Jewish ones if asked are pretty much pro-Israel all the way. Obvs. Yet, whereas other people are vehemently against Israel, or at least how they "bully" Palastine.

But do they? Are they propped up by the US? If so, why? Is it about pushing out Islam in the middle east or is that batshit crazy conspiracy? Seriously, it's like massive divided opinion and I can never seem to get clear facts.

GIMMIE THE FACTS.
