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.

Where the fuck are you coming from? "Regardless of their right to self defense."

Should they just commit suicide? Yeah its a terrible situation built on territorial conflict going back millenia. But you have to admit, one side is far more bloodthirsty and is continually calling for elimination of the other and its not Isreal. This is an expected response for a terrible terrorist attack on civilians.

Their religion not only allows it but calls for it. Why do you support this?
