      They should petition the US government to stop arming Russia like they do Israel to end the conflict.

      Oh, right…

        Ahhh. So it’s not about the innocent lives lost- it’s about who gets the means to kill them. Let’s not even bother bringing up that it would be illegal for the US to break the contract with Israel… because….

        That wouldn’t help fuel the anti-America outrage boner even had.

          Yes, there is absolutely a moral distinction between arming an invader and arming a defender. The US is doing good in arming Ukraine and bad in arming Israel. Pretty simple.

          As for illegal, lol. Israel going to call the cops?

              It is about lives lost and the fact that they are lost directly because of US actions. You don’t have a “gotcha” here that excuses anything that happens in Gaza.
