    Maybe because the preservation of human rights and life should be pursued regardless of who the President will be tomorrow?

    So how is that compatible with the 2+ years of funding and supporting genocide?

      Well, you might recall that the funding was approved by Congress, and Presidents should be impeached and held accountable for overstepping those bounds, like how trump was impeached for withholding aid to Ukraine in 2016. Furthermore, Israel is a long term ally, who suffered a brutal terrorist attack in October, and they are in a precarious situation, as their neighbors are not fond of their existence, so we have to toe the line between supporting our ally, but also resist genocide and ethnic cleansing. Turns out, geopolitics is not simple.

      Any other 5th grade history question I can answer for you?
