What about those of us who think both equally as bad?
One of them is currently enabling the genocide of Palestinians. I'm not American though.
Either you all are being intentionally disingenuous, or you're significantly misinformed. There's a difference between passive support of a ally doing terrible things and actively starting a war yourself and doing terrible things.
Did you all suddenly forget about Ukraine?
Honest question, is funnelling them money still passive support? I understand aid for Ukraine defending their soil, but I'm not ok with sending my money to help Israel do a genocide.
Thanks for being sincere. I only used the term passive in the sense that we're not sending our own troops over to actively participate. I agree with you on the money transfer issue. I also consider it noteworthy that a lot of the legislation for Israel financial support not only excludes support for Ukraine, but requires the funds to be diverted from useful domestic purposes.
