I feel bad for most victims of war on both sides. I wish the politicians would just fight it out amongst themselves and leave the people out of it. I feel bad for Ukrainians and I feel bad for the young Russian soldiers sent there to die.
It seems to me like Biden has a lot of blood on his hands in both conflicts. He pushed Russia too far trying to provoke a fight and has proven willing to keep it going down to the last Ukrainian.
Biden paid heavy ransoms to Iran and loosened up sanctions giving them tens of billions to fund groups like hamas. For Palestinians hating jews is a way of life that they are taught from birth. They see themselves as occupied by an oppressive force. Anyone born Palestinian has very little hope of growing up to not hate the Jews. They are used as political pawns by other Arab nations. The other nations like Jordan and Egypt left them in refuge camps isolated and impoverished for years.
Most of the aid I saw in the camps when I lived there came from the US and Europe. I never saw anything in their camps or hospitals that said donated by an Arab country. Jordanians are basically Palestinians too. The land Jordan occupies was given by the turks to Britain after ww1 as a place for a homeland for the jews. The Brits gave Jordan to what was basically Palestinians as a homeland and then gave that little part of the Levant to the jews. There had never been a Palestine at that point.
Most Palestines don't accept that. They were there and then a flood of people came in and took over everything and they resent the hell out of that. I can kind of empathize with what's going on in our country. I just returned from the grocery store in Idaho Falls and over half the shoppers didn't speak English. We stood in line behind some of them and watched them pay with ebt cards. At least palestines own people didn't take their money from them to pay for their invaders to come take over.
I can understand why Palestinians are upset. But, I can't except the horrific things they did to the jews in October. I can accept their constant deliberate targeting of kids and using their own kids as human shields. I can't accept them advocating for another holocaust.
I worked in Palestinian hospitals there that would never admit or provide health care for a few a Jew and I worked in Jewish hospitals that were full of Palestinians getting great health care. Although I say I can understand why Palestinians are upset based on their situation and what their taught I can't condone their bloodlust especially for children and innocents. After the Oct attack when the jews hit back I just kept thinking of that ac/DC song If you want Blood You Got it.
I left that area far more confused than when I arrived and have accept that I don't have the answers and I should just let them figure it out. But I still hate to see the death and mayhem on both sides.

Interesting perspective. I would pop a cap on those I saw parading that German girl around on the tailgate, and the ones cheering. I haven't seen any similar videos from the IDF. If I did I'd feel the same way. It's certainly not a simple issue.
