    You mean sending aid to the country defending itself from a much larger more dangerous country rather than the one that’s wrecking a tiny already occupied open air prison just fine by itself? And the first enemy actually poses a danger to our politics and elections, while the second enemy can barely get fresh food and water let alone exert any international influence at all? Hm… Nah, makes too much sense for US politicians… That won’t do.

      Hamas has billions in assets and international ties. Israel has murdered thousands without food and water but lets not pretend Hamas, who Israel is supposed to be targeting with this aid, is some helpless underdog. The money should go to Ukraine but let’s not exaggerate.

      edit: Disappointed that people would rather downvote than engage and think critically. Hamas’s leaders are billionaires who hoard resources, keeping them from the people of Gaza. Hamas is a threat to both the people of Gaza and to international peace. Israel’s horrific crimes don’t make that fact magically go away.

        That’s because Hamas is everywhere and everything. Children in hospital, Hamas! Tunnel that Israel built, Hamas! All out of everything bagels, Hamas! Stub your toe, Hamas!
