Palestinians / Yemenis / Somalis / etc

I'm confused how supporting and engaging in genocide and bombing humans in multiple countries with unique circumstances is both a single issue separate to and less important than doing the same (without bombs) nearer to home.

I guess everyone has a different tolerance for blood on their hands...

Imagine you have a house that is managed by landlords. The landlords have changed ownership and management many times and allowed the plumbing and heating and electricity to become inoperable. Now there are termites.

At some point management put in an HOA and made it so the HOA kicks your neighbors out without any consideration.

We have bigger internal issues. It ain't my blood. All Americans are fully aware we should not be financing anything like that.

The landlords are burning down houses on the other side of town with the renters trapped inside. Then they start doing the same in another neighborhood, then another in the city. When do you start thinking they'll do the same to you regardless of the termites and rot?

Internal issues aren't bigger. They're more personally dangerous. You're simply saying human life near you is more important than human life elsewhere. If absolutely nothing else, paying taxes makes it blood on Americans hands.

Given that the US is engaging in the wars it's clear that not all Americans are fully aware. I mean there are still a ton of conservatives who are pro-Zionism.

That said i know the left is growing and stronger every day. I know there's people trying to fix things. The people I've known who are most effective never considered the border when valuing the state's actions.
