No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I don’t remember all the details but after, I think ww2, a bunch of land was promised to Israel but that same land was also promised to Palestine. Do these two groups had a claim to the same land to call their country.
It couldn’t just be divided in half as they both claimed some areas as their religious sites and didn’t want to give that up.
Eventually it was settled and the land was divided between the two countries. But through legal loopholes and stuff Israel was able to claim some additional land.
But the end result is that there are two groups who have been at each others throats forever.
I’m not from this region or have a say in it. The facts I stated are not entirely accurate, it’s just what I could remember at the moment from some video I watched at some point.
So, if you read or hear conflicting information just go with what the other person said.
If I got something wrong please post the correction.
If you are going to tell me that something is wrong and I shouldn’t post it because it’s misinformation, then fuck off. No one else has posted anything and I’m just trying to help out based on memory. If you can do a better job explaining it do it and I’ll delete my comment.
The “stuff” part was violent military invasion payed by the US. Zionism has been a thing since the XIX century and illegal Jewish settlements have been occurring from even way before WW1. To the point that some Zionist groups even staged refugee ships and terrorist attacks to gather diplomatic support and fight the British and Palestinians for decades (including bombing civilian houses, razing villages and murdering children). When the US gave them financial back up at the end of the first Arab-Israeli war (which they only wanted out of imperialism to use Israel as a war dog against other Arab nations), they used it to turn their paramilitary groups into an official army and invaded all of the West Bank (and half of Egypt). The whole thing is fucked up beyond belief.
