President Biden condemned Hamas' attack on Israeli civilians, but failed to acknowledge the $6 billion humanitarian aid sent to Iran, which has supported Hamas' terrorist activities. The US needs to reconsider its support of hostile states and cease sending aid to nations that want to harm it. Additionally, the US has a history of contributing to humanitarian crises, such as the Ukrainian uprising and the Afghanistan retreat, where military equipment has ended up in the hands of terrorist groups. It is clear that funding hostile states only leads to more atrocities.
