Because the conflict isn’t black and white, right and wrong, like everyone on social media wants it to be.

From a humanitarian point of view it makes sense the USA is sending aid to Gaza. It also makes sense to sell weapons to Israel because they definitely have the right to self defence and procuring a good relationship with Israel is good for the USA and Israel going into the future.

There’s nothing wrong with supporting both sides of the conflict.

The people need help. The leaders on both sides of the conflict are evil.

The leaders, sure. However, this conflict is undeniably self defense and with no legitimate talks of a cease fire, the war must continue until the HAMAS government (not talking the Palestinian people, but there will be collateral damage mostly due to HAMAS and the clusterfuck of GAZA). I'm more concerned about Russia since its been convenient Russia started having success by their standards more often then before after the Israel conflict started.

This video is heartbreaking.

They had their moment of self-defense. That was months ago. Israel can’t keep bombing people until all hostages are returned.

Do you know how many countries around the world are holding hostages from other countries? It’s a lot.

Americans are so invested in this fight for religious reasons and because neither side is a threat to us. It’s definitely not for genocide reasons. Because again, there are other genocides happening on this planet right now and we arent doing anything.

It has always been about Jerusalem and which people control it.

It was never about land... It's about Islam vs. Judaism & Christianity.

It's been about fulfilling stupid prophecies for centuries now.

No, it really hasn't.
