Saw this in the news today Israel-Gaza war: US carries out its first aid airdrop in strip https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68457937

I don’t get it… the US has been a really vocal and financial supporter of the state of Israel, why are they also supporting the Palestinians who oppose them?

    Even when you’re directly in a war – not the case here – there are still obligations to see to civilians on the other side.

      Yeah. I’ll take minor hypocrisy any day of the week when the alternative is behaving like the russians do in Ukraine.
