“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”
Oh, not at all, they know very well what they’re doing.

- The Evangelical opinion that we need to support Israel so Jeebus can come back:
As with all good politics, it has nothing to do with “right” or “wrong”, it’s all about “money” and “power”. That’s it.

Then they know it’s a genocide, they know what the weapons are used for, and they’re sending the weapons anyway.
That’s. Supporting. Genocide.
It isn’t though.
Look at our humanitarian support that often gets hijacked by corrupt governments.
People are starving.
We send support.
Support gets hijacked.
People keep starving.
“WhY Do yOu sUpPoRt sTaRvAtIoN??!?!?!”
We aren’t going to stop sending support just because bad actors are misusing it.

The bad actors in this case are the people we keep selling weapons to. No hijacking is taking place like in your example about food aid. We sell them weapons, they get immediately used for genocide.
Pretending that Netanyahu totally meant to use the weapons for defense but accidentally goofed into using them for genocide is flimsy apologia indeed.
