Then let's do that. No money to either side. Giving a blank check in the form of billions in military aid and protection to Israel while starving and defunding the Palestinian hospitals is cruel and sickening. It will come back on us.

I don't think Jews should give back land and not have an ethno-religious state, but I can't support them either when they don't support and even actively undermine the continued existence of white gentile Christian states. Israel needs to celebrate diversity.

No. It belongs to Israel. Note, Israel was happy to occupy the land that it did upon independence, which was a fraction of the land that it currently occupies. But multiple Arab states and terrorist stateless actors waged and are waging war against Israel and its very right to exist. And only because it is a nation of Jews.

That the Israelis and Palestinians kill civilians indiscriminately is obvious. It’s what they’ve been doing for a long time.

As we know, Republicans only care about the fetus, not the child.
Yes it sounds like every President since Johnson.

No, not even close.

"In 40 years following U.S. policy in and outside government never seen any Administration simultaneously support Israel so uncritically and go after Palestinians so harshly both without logic, purpose or national security rationale,” he said."

The false logic of slashing funds for Palestinians
The cuts will mainly affect the innocent and peaceful, while money to so-called 'martyrs' will keep flowing

https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-...-palestinians/

We used to take a measured approach. Now, with Kushner and Ivanka, it's 100% Israel and let the Palestinians die. In fact, help the Palestinians be murdered by taking away the funding for their hospitals and giving billions to Israel for military weapons.

We used to believe in a two state solution. Now it's 100% Israel.
It that's the case...we're finally getting our heads out of our a**es. Palestinians have been offered a 2-state solution but rejected it for decades. They (Palestinians-and a larger percent of American liberals) want nothing but the genocide of Israel.

Yup, it keeps getting worse.

And please, don't feel the need to get defensive, just mourn the dead.
They're only doing what's necessary to defend themselves. What's the issue?

Civilians, as you mention are combatants too. The enemy comes in all forms.

LMFAO, What President made that awesome foreign aid deal with Israel and Egypt.
Which president boldly cut aid to Israel to punish them for human rights violations, including the killing of US citizens and sailors?
Yeah none.
Palestine never deserved foreign aid in the first place, nor should it be our responsibility to provide it.
