  1. ​ @l.w.paradis2108 why should they? What have the Palestinians done for Americans to garner support? It's all good and well to feel bad for them but there are many other war stricken populations, take the Uyghurs in China for example, but no one is crying fowl about their treatment are they? Seems to me the ppl who care the most are more anti-Israelis than they are pro-Palestinians.. when Israel is a formal ally to the US and Palestine is not, from a purely diplomatic point of view it would be illogical and damaging to US reputation to take the side of a non-ally over an ally. Now an argument could be made about re-assessing the countries that are allies, but i haven't seen any talk of this - not even from the most passionate activists - nor offering Palestinian civilians refuge in the US... i wonder why that is? Could it maybe be because most of the online rhetoric is not actually Americans acting in good faith? Would you house a Palestinian refugee in your home??? Also why doesn't Egypt, a neighbouring country, offer refuge to civilians either? 🤔 But to being it back to the beginning, why should Americans care? That's both the question and answer....

  2. ​ @l.w.paradis2108 innocent of what crime and is the person a Palestinian in Palestine? Or are you being crafty and re-purposing your kindness in an unrelated matter to score "i care" points? I notice you also said "put up" not "donated" or "gave", which implies you're acting more like a bail bondsman than a charitable philanthropist.. or are you also like MSM and think ppl can't read between the lines in twisting the truth? 🤷
