“In effect, they’re objectively aiding al Qaeda.”
Not sure who you are talking about since you said “they’re aiding al Qaeda.”
But I do know that the US govt gives millions upon millions to the Palistinians. If the historical data is correct, most Palistinians are terrorists. So “objectively,” the US govt is aiding al Qaedfa. Is this the “they” to whom you referred? If so, you are absolutely correct.
