I know this may sound stupid or far-fetched, but all I could think of when I watched the episode is the conflict between Israel and Palestine. This comparison is based on the following:
- Danaerys returns to her country of origin and wants to enforce her supposed claim on the throne.
- She is not really greeted friendly by the people in Westeros.
- She commits genocide.
- She has a big military force behind her back.
- She went through a lot of shit in the past.
- She is willing to take the north by brute force if they don't submit.
- Cersei uses civilians as shield to point the finger to Danaerys.
- King's Landing burns.
I think the real life counterparts are obvious, but I am aware that both situations are not completely comparable.
Do you think people who are rooting for Danaerys are likely to sympathize with Israel? Do you find her actions and motives understandable in the grand scheme of things or not?
