A US counterterrorism expert explains the dynamics between Israel, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas – and why Hezbollah presents new risks for the US and other places globally.
The war began when Hamas-led militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel on 7 October, which involved a rocket barrage and a few thousand militants breaching the Gaza–Israel barrier, attacking Israeli civilian communities and military bases.
Ah yes, historic grievances again. The context of the article is clearly spelled out, as described previously. My discussion of the matter is pertinent to the content of the article, and I myself am not attempting to broaden context in order to force an angle the article isn’t making.

Why are people who defend Israel always such insufferable weasels?
You’re hiding behind an article that already takes things out of context and then you act as though it is the right thing to do to not provide any.
Of course you can’t “broaden the context”, or your entire point would fall apart. This is what Israel and its supporters do, they pick an arbitrary point in time, pretend that the conflict started then, and use that as an excuse to escalate.

This battle of ideas on Wikipedia’s platform formed a crucial part of the encyclopaedia’s commitment to neutrality, which according to Sanger, was abandoned after 2009.

If I hit your face for 10 minutes straight and then stop 30 seconds (to take breath) and right then you hit me back, can I say “I wasn’t hiting you! You are the aggressor! I have the right to retaliate!”?

Let’s forget everything that happened since 1948, right?

Oh the irony.

You should let Wikipedia know then.
Maybe we should talk about how many people Israel pays to constantly skew reality in their favor on websites like that.

Til Wikipedia untrustworthy.

Interesting characterization.
