Well, I've kept my opinion out of this because I have no way of knowing what's true or not. It's more of a belief how I think things went down. Like most things political, you the movers and the believers. Believers have no real power, just like most democrats have no power or most republicans have no power. So there are two groups of "believers," which we think of as the religious Jews or the secular ones we've heard refer to as the self-hating Jew. I am talking about neither of these groups moving forward, because they don't have any real power to shape reality.

When we look at Jewish groups with real power, you have the religious Jews, we'll call them Zionists, and you have the secular Jews, we'll call them Bolsheviks, just because I think it's funny. Again, neither of these groups represent the average Jew living their life in America or the world. I am literally only talking about groups with wealth and power. The Bolshevik types are the secular Jews who advocated for communism in Germany and Russia. Sidenote: when I was in college, this was widely acknowledged and taught, but now the Wikipedia says it's an antisemitic conspiracy theory. Personally, I tend to lean towards the wiki article as a rewriting of history. I do think there was a conspiracy of sorts in that these dictators misidentified the motives of these Jews (they attributed to malice what I believe was a pure, ideological attempt to create utopia for all people as evidenced by Trotskyism), but I think this Wiki article is very misleading in trying to downplay the roll many Jews made in advancing Bolshevism (or communism by another name). The Jews who fled Germany after WW2 formed the Frankfurt School here in the US and continued their push for new communism. This also was predominantly driven by secular Jews.

Then you have the Zionists. It's well documented, but little well known that there was a religious group of Jews who believed in the return of their homeland, Israel. So much so, that they pushed for the Balfour Declaration during WW1, despite Germany having a large number of free Jews. When Britain signed the pact, they were hoping for 3 things: it would swing Russia to maintain pressure on Germany's Eastern Front, since Jews had been prominent in the March Revolution of 1917 (you know that thing the other wiki article says didn't happen); it would rally the large Jewish community in the United States to press for greater funding for the American war effort, underway since April of that year; and, lastly, that it would undermine German Jewish support for Kaiser Wilhelm II. Additionally, the World Zionist Organization, who up until this point had been neutral, threw it's support behind the allies. I would argue this turned the tide of the war and I believe it to be one of the reasons Hitler (and the German people at large) had so much resentment for German Jews. I really think it's hard to imagine how much wealth and power Jews had, especially in the US back then.

Even though these two groups have different ideas, if you've ever argued with a Jew, they are some of the best in the world at not taking things personally. While I think these groups have two different philosophies, I think they still consider themselves the same people. I think they often battle of the future of Israel. The secular Jews with power still advocate for global government. Again, I don't believe this is a world dominance thing. I think it's pure idealism. If the world can be united, then the Jewish people will be safe wherever they go. The Zionists don't care about that. They want their religious homeland and will do what it takes to secure it. Within our government, both of these powerful groups have a strong influence. All that is just to give some context to my belief that follows.

The powerful secular Jews are almost exclusively democrat. I think they give money and resources to Arab countries because they believe in appeasement. I think Zionist Jews hate this approach because it threatens their homeland. I think Bolshevik Jews hate thinking of any one place as their homeland. However, when this terrorist attack occurred, I think both powerful groups were equally offended. Thus, you see almost universal backlash in the media against any Hamas support for the first time. You see Hollywood, the DNC, MSM, all spinning the same tune for once. I think Netanyahu has the greenlight to finish what he wants to do anyways, which is level that area and cleans it from Hamas. I think we'll see the swift and systematic replacement of Palestinians in that area with Jews. I don't believe this green light will last long, but I think he has it. For now.

Personally, as much as I hate it, something has to give. In truth, Israel should have displaced them all years ago. Nobody wants to be prisoners. Nobody wants to be stripped of their home. However, given the two choices, I would rather move and start over than be trapped. There is nothing worse than festering bad blood.
