What makes an American life worth more than an Israeli or a Palestinian life? If we have the capacity and the means to aid in the situation are we not under a moral obligation to intercede? Does the buck stop at only providing aid to our own citizens? As much as I am opposed to the idea of us policing every little issue in the world, are we also just expected to sit idle while thousands upon thousands of innocents are killed?
Food for thought.
This is why we have the United Nations, a body that represents the world in the interest of human life and equality. While that's not to say they've been notably influential in conflicts on this scale in recent decades, it's that fundamental form of a global alliance that should be used to address issues like these, not any one country.

Dude wtp. This and your #prayforIsrael comment paint you as the biggest douchebag in this thread and, oh hey, are examples of WHY THIS REGIONAL TENSION EXISTS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I mean, I have a personal tie to the subject in some way yet I won't take sides because it's silly. They're both fucking stupid now.
This, I've never been able to "pick a side" on this issue. Both are complicated and ultimately there are peaceful solutions of compromise and working together as one nation that could be done but some people this world are so stuck in the past they can't move forward with changing geopolitical landscapes.
