Israel and Palestine both ultimately need to be stabilized, but the destruction of the terrorist organizations in both countries needs to be eliminated first.
@B3K8RQV4mos4MO
No, we should try to figure out and stop this war by working with both Israel and Palestine and help them with what they need.
@B362VCJ5mos5MO
No, Israel should be able to take down Hamas, but all innocent civilians need to be unharmed. Israel's destruction of the Unless our funding goes toward harming the organization and steers clear of civilians, we should not support it.
@B2XYH5S5mos5MO
I don't really know about this. I don't like that they are killing each other and innocent individuals.
@B2LPXZ55mos5MO
i believe if we could hold them at an arms length where we are helping but only a certain amount to a point where it is not hurting our economy and hurting our communities from how help we are giving to a point where we are struggling to even hold our own i believe that is wrong. But it's also wrong to just drop a country that is in dire need of help. Only giving them money doesn't solve anything.
@B24D5LP7mos7MO
If we want to help in the form of resources like food and medical care to help the people in a war zone that's fine. I do not think we should be the primary payer or a major payer in anyone's conflict. Or give much military aid.
@9WV4JKKIndependent9mos9MO
Yes, but only if Israel commits to protecting Palestinian civilians, prioritising humanitarian aid, and rebuilding Gaza.
@9WSF2XT9mos9MO
No, Palestine should be receiving our aid. Isreal is an occupying colonial force and should be treated as the invaders they are.
@9WNF24C9mos9MO
We should not give any other country money until we as a country are out of debt and the American citizens have been taken care of.
We should continue to support but hold Israel to a higher standard and demand to know exactly what our resources are being used for
@9S3KRZD11mos11MO
Yes, but we should be pushing harder for Palestine and Israel to come to an agreement on a ceasefire.
@8ZRC2H53yrs3Y
yes if it helps our people fighting for our country if they need more give them more
@8Z9C3BX3yrs3Y
Wouldn't know how to answer
@8Z5DV7K3yrs3Y
No, and we should lend support to Palestine
@8W28B6G4yrs4Y
As a country with a right to exist, yes. Current policies in Israel are problematic, though. As a deterrent to other countries in the Middle East, unfortunately yes.
@8THKNTR4yrs4Y
Yes, but not as much as we have in the past.
@8SL9B2T4yrs4Y
We should decrease funding.
@8S7YY5H4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should give less than we currently do
@8RKBRBS4yrs4Y
Only privately. Using taxes to help other countries is unnecessary coercion.
@8R95GH24yrs4Y
The well-being of our country needs to be tended to first
@8Q7JKGV4yrs4Y
Yes, but the US should gradually move money away from the nation
@8Q2H2YZ5yrs5Y
The current amount of aid we give is satisfactory
@8PTC2CW5yrs5Y
yes, as long as they use it for the right reasons.
@9CLXBXZ2yrs2Y
No, we should only support the implementation of anti-terrorism and human rights measures; both Israel and Palestine have committed horrible acts of violence against each other, and this must stop. The U.S. should support diplomacy, reconciliation, and peaceful solution-building between these warring parties.
@8GXQ2FL5yrs5Y
Yes, but at a level commensurate with other allies in the region.
