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?

    Especially since BB and the LIKUD advocated letting money be funneled to Hamas to help keep the PA from being able to gain a foothold. Israel holds as much responsibility for the actions of Hamas as anyone, as they’ve intentionally set up the situations that lead to the current genocide.

    Anyone blaming Hamas and not Israel is either ignorant or spreading propaganda.
