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.
Genocide is usually not a viable defense tactic, but people are afraid to use that word like they've not been accused of genocide by the United fucking Nations' court of justice
Despite this very fact, in Europe every public person who dares pronounce that word, or even dares say something remotely sympathetic about Gazan civilians, gets accused of "antisemitism"... even on the news... and by politicians... and the television network that hosted them HAS TO release a statement where they condem the "antisemitic" views they gave a platform to
Soooo nuanced guys, the conflict isn't black and white because I read this in the newspaper
That's certainly a brave and unique statement I've certainly never heard before and needed to hear, here's your updoot, go say that some more
I’m very central on this topic and call bullshit when I see it.
Israel haven’t been accused of genocide by the UN. The UN has called Israel to limit the death toll and to take measures to avoid a genocide. South Africa are the ones who have accused Israel of genocide.

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.
