Ah yes, a few civilians dying gives you permission to commit a FUCKING GENOCIDE.
Grow the fuck up and realize that the side which kills more innocents by the end of it IS NOT the good guys. Israel has killed many times more civilians.
Just because it’s a conflict the US is involved in does not mean EITHER side is good. They’re both despicable and neither deserves a dime of US (offensive) aid.
I agree they are both despicable, might even agree Israel doesn’t deserve the aid, but they do need the aid and they should get it, as an American, that’s my view. It’s complicated but I’ve been taking at stab here in the comments at explaining it. Willing to be convinced I’m wrong.
I find that October 7 is good cassus belli to kill every member of Hamas and to completely destroy the extensive tunnel warfare infrastructure underneath Gaza City…
My math says that, in proportion to the population, there are 150 times fewer Palestinian civilian casualties than in the US war in Iraq, that the dead so far represents 1% of Gaza and 0.004% of Palestinians overall.
My understanding is that there is no military operations going on in the West Bank similar to what is happening in Gaza and that the vast majority of Palestinians live in the West Bank, not Gaza.
I also think Israel, flawed as it is, is the only meaningful chance for lasting human rights in the middle east anywhere on the horizon.
Stop listening to propaganda and open your eyes. There IS the military on the west bank… they just ran over a teenager. You are basing your opinion on ignorance.
I’m aware it is militarized. I said it was not similar to what’s happening right now in Gaza. There is not a tunnel network under the West Bank as far as I know that they have to hit with bunker busters.
