    I remember how horrified reactions were to Russia doing this to Ukraine families trying to escape. I was one of them. I’m agahast that for some reason, genocide apologists will defend Isreals use of tanks against civilians who don’t even have water food or electricity. Against a population that has been repeadtly bombed and fenced in.

    But I’m also beyond confused on why my country, the US, sends aid to Ukraine AND Isreal.

      Because Ukranians are white people.

      Governments in the West don’t care if Arabs die.

        It’s because the Israeli govt looks out for the US govt political and economic interests overseas so they’re bending over backwards to justify Israel’s terrorism. I’m so disgusted with Biden.

        I think this the far more likely answer. Gaza has been subjected for decades, but the world turned on a dime in horror at Ukraine.

      Likely answer that no one likes? Strategic benefit in the geographical area.

        This is exactly it. They look out for the US govt political and economical interests in the Middle East and in turn we fund their terrorism. Win-win.
