Are they spending $18 per person on schools? Another $18 per person on libraries? What about hospitals?

...probably because of their roll in riot supression. Rulers don't want that service faultering on them at an inopportune moment.

Like on January 6?

It's sad that it needs to be said. People on both sides have tried to justify one or the other.

You can be sympathetic to the plight of the hostages and be against Zionism and the Gazan genocide at the same time.

Does Hamas exist in a vacuum? No. Does that justify kidnapping hundreds of civilians? No. Does that justify the murder of thousands? Also no.

I mean the US did their part in bombing civilians over the years. They're considered the "world police" not because they're good, but simply because nobody can challenge them.

Bombers don't necessarily have to come with bombs. They could be used to dump water for example on a forest fire. The bombs are extra.

Let's say they didn't have the vehicles. What would they arm them with?

That's like saying we'll send the Israelis bombers but if they arm them with bombs, that's on them.

You're being pedantic but it's a stupid argument to make.
