The reasons for these events always run really deep and there could be a million reasons beyond "they're terrorists." I know we have some history gurus in RallyPoint so my question is how did this happen? How did we get here? We want to know what you all think.

A little historical background. This problem exists because the UK in particular, and the WWI and WWII allies "screwed the pooch." The Brits tried to right a wrong, by wronging someone else.

Ottoman Turkish authorities aimed to Islamize the whole region by eliminating non-Muslim populations: Christians, Jews and Yezidis—groups that continue to be targeted in and outside of Turkey today.

The attack came 50 years nearly to the day from when Syria and Egypt attacked Israel and was caught off guard.
If history repeats itself it's not going to go well for Hamas and those aiding their efforts.
Then it will happen again 2073.
