It's complicated... but people don't like the mass bombing of kids.

That's not complicated.



I get where you are going at, but in the conflict we talk about I am pretty sure both sides are killing children right now. So still complicated.

So is the US bombing children in Iran and many other countries in the past years. Is the US the pure evil now? Maybe, but I don't claim to have a final opinion there either


It's not that complicated.

123 died in Iran School bombing event.

At least 21,600 Gazan children have died since the beginning of the war [UNICEF] in many events over a long period of time.

21,600 > 123

(Both involved US tax dollars)


Puhh those numbers are sooooo much higher in reality. Just abrubtly defunding USAID alone killed over 600,000+ people two thirds children.

I agree that aid saves lives and support it, and think some of the people behind cutting it are basically evil...

... but the ethical difference between not giving something to kids versus dropping bombs on kids isn't hard to spot.
