He’d apparently intended on telling a fantasy version of the birth of Israel and thought the players would side with the zionists. I recall another story that this retelling got someone to share but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was unfortunately.

It’s not quite magical realm shit, but bad DMs always have a way of trying to railroad their party into thinking and behaving a certain way, and always get mad when the players aren’t their little puppets. I don’t get it personally, it sounds like they don’t want to DM, they want to write a fantasy novel and should just do that instead.
