But the money going to the US also prevents Ukrainians being killed. Not to mention that wiping out Hamas and Hezbollah actually makes Israeli civilians safer.

In both cases, the US gives weapons to the country attacked by another party. In a more global context, Israel is fighting against Iranian proxies in the Middle East. Iran has been giving drones to Russia that kill Ukrainians.

So the US being involved indirectly in conflicts against the "Central Powers" of Russia, Iran and North Korea is actually a positive contribution.

Ufff that's a brave moral stance to have. You do you, I completely disagree with it though.

Thanks for elaborating anyway.

I hope you can at least see how a person from another country might have a similar perspective as you, but reversed, therefore demanding kagi (or other companies) not to give money to US. Not everyone will have this US-centric perspective.

I have a Ukraine-centric perspective, not US-centric

Fair enough, hopefully you can see how someone from - say - Lebanon would see it differently.

[–] iopq 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lebanon was taken over by Hezbollah that was actually stronger than their nation's military

Iran's proxies did not have popular support everywhere

Sure bro, and if you are a lebanese civilian who sees bombs killing your family I am sure you think of all the good impact that those have and thank Israel and the US.

I will close it here, I have no intention to convince you and there is no chance that someone who supports Israel will convince me of any moral argument.
