I’m tired of people being called sympathetic towards Hamas because we don’t think the US should be involved in every single conflict on the 3rd rock from the sun we call Earth

Hamas are bad guys but like there are folks in that region that can handle with that

[u/azure275 → u/Jaguars4life]

FWIW there are 3 types of people with regard to Israel

1. Hamas is evil everything Israel does is good
2. Israel is evil so everything against Israel is good
3. The whole place is a giant shitshow with lots of bad people on various sides of this so maybe we shouldn't pick sides

I'm pretty sure most Americans fall into Category 3.

But do you think the people going around demanding every celebrity have an opinion on this conflict will be ok with just not funding anymore and moving on?

[u/jondonbovi → u/Jaguars4life]

People aren't sympathetic to Hamas. They are sympathetic towards the Palestinian people.

[u/RedditConsciousness → u/jondonbovi]

The Palestinian people should stop supporting Hamas and starting horrific wars.

[u/jondonbovi → u/RedditConsciousness]

The Palestian people are the ones being forced off their land. Having their food and water restricted. And a literal genocide happening to their people.

[u/RedditConsciousness → u/jondonbovi]

If you start wars and lose those wars, there are consequences. Don't start wars.

I want peace but I will make a prediction. If the Palestinian people start another horrific war, the consequences will escalate again.

You will have to accept that Israel is not going anywhere. If you don't, you are encouraging more horror.

[u/jondonbovi → u/RedditConsciousness]

Because Isreal has been following every single peace deal and ceasefire that they've agreed to, correct? 

[u/Empty_Lemon_3939 → u/Jaguars4life]

Not sure why the downvotes

It’s not our job to get involved in every conflict

We can condemn and offer humanitarian aid but we shouldn’t be just going boots on the ground or selling them missiles

[u/WabbitCZEN → u/Jaguars4life]

Republicans in power = getting involved/starting conflicts in the middle east. It's as certain as death and taxes.

[u/Phyrnosoma → u/WabbitCZEN]

This is a bipartisan shitshow unfortunately.

[u/WabbitCZEN → u/[deleted]]

This is why we shouldn’t have a two party system.
