    If the US had given Hamas $3.8 billion, it definitely wouldn’t have been used for an iron dome.

    Yes I do believe Hamas is inherently evil, the same way I believe the north Korean leadership is evil.

    Plenty of variables to take into account, and it’s understandable how they got like this, but the same way a lot of serial killers have an abusive upbringing, does not mean everyone with an abusive upbringing will be a serial killers.

      Plenty of that money has gone to killing Palestinian children. We need a more equitable distribution of resources if we’re sending money over. I don’t think we need equal amounts of rockets, but aid and a cease fire. If you don’t trust the channels that money will go to that’s what we have 3rd party humanitarian groups for.

      You can think Hamas is evil. That wasn’t my point. What do you think makes normal people turn into the types of people that join Hamas?

      Do you want to reduce the amount of serial killers? You reduce the amount of abusive upbringings.

      Do you want to reduce the amount of extremists?

        Probably the first response I am in agreement with, there isn’t an easy solution and I hope the one chosen has the least amount of casualties in the long run.

        I have to go but I may come back to this. Have a good day, and hopefully neither of us will have to live through what’s going on there.
