    I wouldnā€™t blame them for hating the fact that the options are murdering children or murdering children even harder.

    But then Iā€™d tell them this is America and if thereā€™s one thing thatā€™s been consistent throughout our history itā€™s been murdering children so if you want something else youā€™ll have to move.

      This is true. We are not presented with a choice about this, same as many other issues such as capitalism and corporate power.

      Iā€™d also look at Ukraine and domestic issues however. Trump enthusiastically embraced ultra fucked up policies like splitting up migrant children from their parents. He also declared heā€™d build camps in the US for immigrants.

      Trump also would hand over Ukraine to Putin. And itā€™s not just Trump, itā€™s the majority of new school R politicians who want to end aid.

      So, while the US is fucked on Israel policy, there are still options about how much harm youā€™d like kids in other countries to come to.
