alt Hacker NewsWe’ve seen with Palestine that human suffering, unfortunately, does not motivate Americans like gas prices do. So it’s not a reflection of my priorities so much as something to point to to get people to stop supporting Trump’s policies.
At the end of the day, we have heard the same thing for a decade. Ignore his tone, ignore his words, ignore this or that policy, because the economy is/is going to be great. When the economy is not doing great, he still gets excuses. Gas prices, however, are what they are. No amount of spin control can stop that.

This is not about Trump. Sorry about Oct. 7th. Israel has a right to defend herself. Sorry terrorists hide behind their own children. All human life is valuable.

Absolutely right. It also makes sense most people will care about something tangible like gas prices than the lives of other people half way across the world.
But this doesn't mean that half way across the world there isn't something truly urgent that needs dealing with.
I honestly don't know what will come of this war but I do know with a fair bit or certainty that a nuclear Iran would have caused the US far more damage than a few weeks of higher gas prices, and they wouldn't even need to use it.
But to truly and fully understand this people need to put a real effort and research the region.
