Hamas attack on Israel triggers devastating war in Gaza.
Origin & Impact
On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched surprise attack on Israel, killing 1,200+ and taking hostages. Israel responded with massive military campaign in Gaza, killing tens of thousands (mostly civilians). The war dominated global discourse, polarizing opinions on civilian casualties, hostages, occupation, and antisemitism versus Islamophobia. Protests erupted worldwide. The conflict reshaped U.S. politics, particularly among young progressives critical of Israel’s response.
