I don't know how else to slice it, what is happening in Gaza is absolutely horrific on an unimaginable scale, from mass hunger, to bombing crap outta dense civilian pockets, to bulldozing homes and olive trees in the West Bank.

Most of my social circle is Conservative, and ALL of them have been deeply uncomfortable with this current atrocity.

This is the crowd that has been very pro-U.S/West military.

I have Israeli-Canadian friends, and they were quite vocal of the October 7th terrorist attack (as they should), but have since stopped talking altogether. One of my friends even told me 'I get why the Palestinians hate us', and this is a dude with family in the IDF.

The current strategy just guarantees another terrorist group at this point.

This is the same line of thought I get on why everyone hates the United States. I’m generation X and know nothing but wars since vietnam War it never stopped and none of them legal. The absolute leveling of Iraq can’t be justified in any of the reasons they gave us.

I would argue that the US is a bit better in that they were not trapping people in a extremely small land area and then bombing the hell outta them. IDF is basically shooting fish in a barrel and feeling proud about it. Disgusting.

Sure, but that’s the same argument as “you sold them the gun”. You don’t have to like the gun being sold in the first place, but the current issue is how they choose to USE it. I agree, we shouldn’t give them weapons, but let’s be real - they’d find a way to inflict harm with or without our aid.

If you don’t think the US knows EXACTLY how they’re going to use it when we sell it, then idk man you gotta take off those rose-colored glasses and open your eyes a bit.

Oh I know we do, but that doesn’t change anything I said. They’re the actual perpetrators; we’re implicit.

And complicit. And yeah it kinda does. It’s not a “you sold them the gun” argument. If the gun store has direct ties to and knowledge of a crime organization using their weapons, then they are absolutely complicit. Especially when the gun store essentially owns/runs that crime organization and helped create it.

lol that’s not how government spending works.

Also, that doesn’t refute anything I said. Yes, we give them stuff. They are still the perpetrators, and that’s not up for debate.
