Cody, it seems to me you are also an American, and are engaging politics in a genuine manner. As such, I’ll afford you respect by responding to your assertions with as much objectivity as I can, and hope you do the same despite how charged this issue is.

On Israel allowing “tons” of aid through, and sending aid themselves: Israel repeatedly prevented or obstructed UNRWA from delivering aid throughout the conflict. Furthermore, much less aid has been allowed in over time - prior to May 19, there was an ELEVEN WEEK aid blockade. The UN and groups such as Medicins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Broders) report conditions of famine and a beyond-critical lack of medical supplies. I implore you to watch the testimony of American doctors and nurses returning from there in particular. On top of this, the US and Israel worked together to remove UNRWA and instead installed the GHF, which has resulted in the many videos and independent reports from journalists of “hunger games” style food distribution, wherein Gazans are shot in the process. Netanyahu himself, when announcing a less than total blockade some weeks ago, said it was only because the rest of the world would not allow the “final solution” without doing so, and promised “a basic amount of aid” (hardly tons).

On the whole, Israel has been nearly totally enabled by the current US admin since Oct 7th and has not, nor ever will, accomplish the erasure of Hamas. Our disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan proved that you cannot stamp out religious extremism with violence. We even reminded the Israelis of that shortly after Oct 7th, I forgot who from the admin though. Please do not be on the side of history that enables foreign influence to drag us in another war that sacrifices American troops and taxpayer money, for the benefit of a military industrial complex and authoritarians in a faraway land and domestically. Or on the side that enables a genocide.
