From what I'm seeing, it's someone in Ethiopia using TextNow, and it's been going on since last year. https://www.idahostatejournal.com/freeaccess/local-schools-targeted-in-nationwide-swatting-spree-police-throughout-region-respond-to-bogus-phone-calls/article_70965c3e-b2df-11ed-b90e-fb64c7085718.html

If this is the same person/people in Ethiopia using TextNow to spoof their calls, it's not going to be that simple. It's been going on for a while. But the FBI is investigating. Idk how much pull they have with Ethiopia. https://www.idahostatejournal.com/freeaccess/local-schools-targeted-in-nationwide-swatting-spree-police-throughout-region-respond-to-bogus-phone-calls/article_70965c3e-b2df-11ed-b90e-fb64c7085718.html

> Only thing that will fix this is good paying jobs and investment in the region so people care more about their futures than some bs blood feud.

The conflict is about LAND who owns it and who governs it. Right now there are large overlapping claims of not only sovereignty between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (not to mention Israel doesn't recognize a state of Palestine) but personal property claims dating back decades. Families who fled their homes or were forcibly removed decades ago in what's now part of Israel wants the right to return to that land and live on it. Problem is that as far as Israel is concerned that land is owned by someone else.

Peace isn't happening because Israel and the Palestinian Authority cannot agree on what land is is part of what country (or again if Palestine even is a country). And this already complex problem is being made even harder by Israel settling it's citizens on land which is undeniably not part of Israel and that Palestinians want for a future land. But of course other Palestinian groups like Hamas in Gaza don't recognize Israel's border either.

But ultimately this is about LAND not religion or blood fueds or whatever it's about who owns what land

That is SO WEIRD.

Overseas troll farms spoofing calls to report fake school school shootings? And calls made in alphabetical order?

Is it a low budget psy ops? Who is paying people in Ethiopia to make robocalls for false school shootings?

It isn't really a religious conflict. There are two groups fighting over the same piece of land. The groups are identified by different religions but they aren't fighting over religion. A similar conflict was The Troubles in Ireland. It was Catholics against Protestants but they weren't fighting about religion.
