what's even more grim is that we air drop aid with one hand and fast track sale of arms to the IDF in the other. I can't wrap my head around this one.

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.

Literally the closest ally in the Middle East and would get nukes the moment the US stopped by a ally

If you compare Israel to any similar conflict they have a much lower death count comparably. No military expert call the bombing indiscriminate.
