@shadihamid It's not complicated. Hamas butchered, raped, and kidnapped Israelis, then hid behind civilians in Gaza. Israel has pursued Hamas and civilians have died as a result of Hamas's cowardice and lack of regard for Palestinian lives. It is not difficult to support Israel over Hamas.

The idea that trade policy doesn't affect trade because the real issue is savings and investment decisions gets causation backward. Wouldn't an economy's attractiveness as a place to build/produce have a powerful effect on savings and investment? Of course it would.
