      That’s also what popped-up in my mind at that title: giving money and weapons to an ethno-Fascist nation to mass murder children of another ethnicity is also “pure evil”.

      In pure ethic and moral terms letting people starve is actually less evil than helping murder children, simply because the former is mostly a passive action (doing evil by refusing to act) whilst the latter is active (acting to, or in this case to help, do evil).

      If one sees the former as worse than the latter because the victims of the former are Americans and the victims of the latter are not, one being guided by something else than morals or ethics - most likely some form of tribalism such as Nationalism.

      In summary this specific shit, whilst evil, isn’t actually morally and ethically worse than what American Administrations have already been doing: the people activelly helping mass murder Palestinian children clearly don’t have the morals or ethics to refrain from doing this not-quite-as-evil thing, so will do it (and keep on sleeping like babies at night) if they think they will gain from it.

      This isn’t at all surprising and not even close to the depts of evil they’re capable of reaching.
