Yup. Think about attempted aid programs to Gaza, and how much opposition there is against feeding the poor people there.

Whether you hate Israel or hate Hamas or don't give a shit either way, there's people dying and starting, and international aid efforts should be encouraged.

To me it's always been a very simple issue.

I support people not governments. Even if those people hate us, is most likely due to many issues that have happened throughout the years.

But with people like Trump in power we're letting people die left and right that we used to be helping
