    Conservatives have always been champions of individual freedoms

    I don’t see evidence of that. I grew up in conservative family in a conservstive community. Conformity, rigid social and economic stratification seemed like the most important, foundational issues to my grandparents, my parents, and the community as a whole.

    No Republicans or Democrats have participated in the Iseral Palestine conflict.

    Deny all you like, however it is a fact of reality that if you supply weapons to someone you know will use then on unarmed noncombatant civilian women and children then you’re complicit in those deaths.Thats a war crime.

      You’re life experiences are one data point and not enough to draw conclusions, even the info you provided is insufficient.

      Supplying weapons does not make someone complicit in the acts carried out with the weapons. Complicit means they participated. Further knowingly supplying weapons used in a war crime is not a war crime, it violates other laws but does not meet war crime criteria.
