17. I'm not a supporter of Hamas and I want Biden to stop giving military aid to Israel.

I also don't believe Israel is engaging in genocide. What they're doing is pushing the Palestinians into a smaller piece of Gaza; a land grab. It's the same thing they've been doing on the West Bank for decades.
It's ironic, that the phrase, "from the river to the sea" is always associated with the Arabs driving the Jews out of Palestine, but the opposite has become equally true.
Neither viewpoint is reasonable, or could ever happen.
This forever war has to stop, and there is no military solution that can make that happen.
The leadership of both Hamas and Israel need to be replaced with people who are less self-serving, more loving and compassionate towards their people, and more open to fixing what's broke there.
