"Jim has come right out and said they need the weapons more "
Whatever we might think of them, in the present situation it is the duty of the Palestinian leadership to resist the murderously genocidal regime who hasn't thought twice about massacring civilians and destroying their homes in their ongoing expansionism
Count the dead civilians from the latest terror attacks,
Read about the ultras who will partner your friends in the next election.
Explain why your friends are measuring just how far they can go before they bring about mass starvation with their blockade.
You have now joined your pupil in claiming that the regime you so strongly oppose is really the Christmas fairy bringing goodies to the Palestinian people
There, - isn't it much more comfortable out of that nasty old closet?
