So your stance is withdrawing aid and directly causing the deaths of millions is morally ambiguous/neutral because the aid contributed to the larger population in the first place?

This just seems like such a comically evil position to hold I don't know if I am understanding you correctly.

Directly? I would love to see that study.

I'm saying a lot of the populace is against foreign aid. And that populace has the right to shut it off. And we live in nation states - the state giving the aid can always shut it off (for whatever reason). Granted, I see no reason to do it SO abruptly (and I agree that was an infantile show), but I am not convinced aid as such is a net benefit for humanity. At the very least this is something you can do an econometric analysis and discuss different policy choices.

Now, that being said, I do agree it would have probably made more sense, from an austerity point of view, to cut the military aid to Israel.

Lol, no you wouldn't. If you would, this would not be news to you.

"We have a right to do it" is not a response to the allegation of being immoral. There are plenty of immoral things someone is well within their rights to do.

Holy shit, infinite ethical murder exploit

1. Give aid

2. Population goes up

3. Revoke aid

4. Everyone dies

5. Go to 1

Great moral system you have there.
