    At minimum the US could be a shield and help. Bring food and medical supplies as well as lifting out critically injured. You would also think if the US military was in there Israel would not be so reckless.

      Israel doesn’t give a shit. They’ve domed American citizens in the past for the crime of being in Gaza. What’s a few more?

      They are, though. SEAL Team Six and Delta Force. Along with a lot of remote sigint and other intelligence resources.

      At minimum the US could be a shield and help.

      A minimum would be shutting down arms shipments. Aid is self-defeating when it’s their own bombs blowing up the civilians.

        I actually needed you to write that last sentence to unpack my biased cognitive dissonance. Thanks for helping me grow.

          I get it. That’s the nature of the mind and subjective experience. It often leads us to want to do more, when the better solution might be to stop doing something that we’re already doing (but which escapes our immediate consideration).

          I’m happy to be a positive influence, but it was a coincidence. If you’ve grown it’s because you put in the effort, not me.
