To those of us who were completely out of the loop about the Israel/Palestine conflict before 2023, which is most people, the first thing we heard about the entire thing was October 7. So, for a lot of us, the initial response to the conflict was “Why did Palestine do this!?” until shortly thereafter where we all found out why and went “Oh. Nevermind, go Palestine!”
Ok. I can’t imagine being completely unfamiliar with the Israel-Palestine conflict, one of the most contentious and bloody conflicts on-goingfor the last 70 years. But I’m from Ireland where it is centred, and ignorance is not always someone’s own fault.
