    You realize that regardless of what the US does, they’re going to be hated by one side or the other. There is no winning this diplomatically.

    So we’re going to vote based on which candidate will turn OUR country into a dictatorship, and which one won’t.

    And maybe… just maybe- it’s not the US’s problem to begin with. Thats a war that’s gone on for a LONG fucking time.

      I agree that they’ll be criticized either way, though it is debatable which would have the worst outcome.

      That being said, the US was a major driving force for the creation of Israel, has armed and funded them since, and has protected Israel in the Security Council preventing any international check on their actions . So, most certainly, it was not the US’s problem to begin with, but given US foreign policy for the past 70 years it is inextricably linked to the problem now.
