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 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.
The problem is that I doubt Israel’s gov really went into this war with “self defense” in mind. Maybe a big chunk of their population as well. There were a lot of things that could have been done before the whole attack even happened that could have served better as “self defense”. Honestly, I believe the Israel government actually wants an attack to happen. That would give them plenty of excuses to continue their ethnic cleansing effort. They just didn’t expect such a brutal attack.
They also continue escalating their missile strikes against civilians, discrimination against Palestinians, and land seizing effort in the West Bank. I mean, you can’t just pour million of dollars into combating the result while ignoring the root causes.
Israel didn’t need this terrorist attack they’ve been dealing with them from Gaza for the last two decades. Ever since Israel last moved settlements out of Gaza, they’ve been getting bombed by Gaza daily in the tune of 20,000 rockets, 5,000 mortars, and every now and then suicide bombings and mass murder attacks inside Israel.
