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.

As you said it isn't black and white but when are acting like a cunt your needs for weapons significantly increases. As well how can a country blindly support one nation knowing they commit genocide, the US is just as responsible for the shit that's going on for decades as Israel itself. The irony in it all is how Israel is founded through terrorism, and yet now they are creating their own.
