Really wish he had mentioned solidarity with fucking PALESTINE as well. We as a nation can support Ukraine against Putin, Israel against Hamas, and Palestine against Israel and Hamas, all at the same time. It isn't that wild of an idea.

Palestine against Israel and Hamas

Ive not heard Palestinians of Gaza say bad things about Hamas.

@Rapidcreek @theangriestbird i saw some numbers somewhere that the majority of them would rather have Hamas than no defense against Israel, but they'd rather have someone else than Hamas.

Rock and a hard place, it's very similar to the situation the people of Afghanistan find themselves in, if you are living in Kabul, yeah the Taliban aren't sunshine and rainbows, but you are pretty happy to see them swoop in when ISIS shows up. (I'm not equating ISIS and the IDF directly for the record, but you can see how from a Gazans perspective the IDF poses a similar threat at times)
