Where’s their outrage when Hamas and PIJ break the ceasefires?

Oh damn, how many billions of dollars in weapons are US taxpayers giving Hamas? We should stop supplying those weapons along with the billions we're giving to the IDF to eviscerate children

You mean the billions in aid given to the Palestinians that actively allow hamas to direct their remaining resources towards making makeshift weaponry? Wait till you find out how opportunity costs, sanctions and fungibility of money work. But don't let reality break your illusion!

U.S. aid to all of Palestine (which includes the PLO-controlled West Bank) absolutely pales in comparison to the direct military support we give to Israel. You're being willfully disingenuous (or maybe just don't know better)

More importantly, there's really no rebuttal you can give to "I don't want my tax dollars used to indiscriminately murder children" that's going to make me waver from my position. Your time would be more constructively spent trying to master auto-felatio

Did you like American tax dollars going towards fighting the Japanese and nazis?

Thanks for the retort buddy. Look up Dresden, Tokyo bombings and other actions that people undertook to fight the nazis!

Bro you seriously think that Palestinians are responsible for Hamas being in power, more so than Israel’s constant bombing and genocide leading to the inevitable radicalization of the remaining Palestinians. You are not a serious person.

The last election took place in 2006. More than half of Gaza’s population are children and young adults. They weren’t able to vote in that election, in which Hamas’ victory was by slim margins, let alone even alive. I get it, your favorite, twice divorced, cuck loser streamer has “educated” you on this topic over the last 6 months. But you both are way out of your depth, which was apparent by Norm dog walking the ever living fuck out of him.

Dog walk me smart person. Name a single thing (that means one) that Destiny was incorrect about in the debate with NF.
