According to my interview participant, the terrorist groups of the Middle East rose in resistance to the U.S. destabilizing their countries, Hamas of Gaza included. We also know that the U.S. has funded both sides as Dr. Bazian said, although obviously having funded Israel much much more. The U.S. is also arming Israel in their alleged attempt to take down Hamas even though Israel is clearly engaging in genocide. This is demonstrative of how the U.S. and its Military Industrial Complex both starts and ends the cycle. Another example would be ISIS, which initially rose in resistance to the U.S., and they did some bad things, the U.S. concluded it had to annihilate them, and then ended up wiping multiple cities off the map in the process. To this day, those cities are uninhabitable. To ignore the United States role in these patterns is to ignore the heart of the problem, which is the U.S.’s constant hunger for war because of the revenue it generates. Gaza is now very sadly paying the price for this. Also, for the record, if targeting civilians is considered an act of terrorism, which it is, then Israel is a terrorist state, and so is America because it’s funding Israel.
