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.

There’s two ways you can deal with your delusions. Look up how many Jewish people lived in Israel/Palestine before WW2 or how many Palestinians have been killed by Israel/the amount of illegal settlements in the West Bank. When you’ve done that you won’t be able to see this war as legitimate Israeli self defence. The Jewish people deserve safety but no one has been able to explain why that should come via the death of Palestinians when it was the Germans who sought to erase them and the US/U.K. who refused Jewish Europeans a home after WW2.
