    I wouldn’t blame them for hating the fact that the options are murdering children or murdering children even harder.

    But then I’d tell them this is America and if there’s one thing that’s been consistent throughout our history it’s been murdering children so if you want something else you’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.

      I’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 he’d build camps in the US for immigrants.

      Trump also would hand over Ukraine to Putin. And it’s not just Trump, it’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 you’d like kids in other countries to come to.
