    It can only be solved by telling the government of Israel to go fuck itself.

    I wrote them a strongly worded email. Is it solved now?

    I get the general point you’re making. But you’re not even recommending the money be spent on something else that will help. We can do both things. If you are going to donate money because you have spare and want to help, and then don’t on the basis you’re choosing who starves, you’re still just making an additional family starve.

    I dunno. I haven’t thought too much about this. Convince me why it’s not better to try to enact change and donate money at the same time.

      “Tell Israel to go fuck itself” in a broad sense. Yes, donating money to a cause that directly tells Israel to go fuck itself, in something more than a strongly worded letter, is worthwhile.
