Quick takeaways

  • The ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel highlights the complexity of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its serious humanitarian and geopolitical implications.
  • The idea of significant black support for Trump is being exaggerated by right-wing media, and most black people do not align themselves with the former president.

Deep dives

Summary

Hamas launched an unprecedented attack against Israel, firing over 2,200 rockets. There are conflicting reports on the death toll, with estimates ranging from 200 to 600 people killed. The attack caught Israel off guard, as they were celebrating a holiday and not prepared for the assault. The situation is ongoing, and it highlights the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Some people in the US, including African Americans, have expressed support for Trump because they believe they had financial gains during his presidency. However, the current conflict reminds us of the serious humanitarian and geopolitical issues at stake, and highlights the complexity of the situation.
