"Hey, do you want you and your families to stop suffering from a lack of food, clean water, healthcare, and housing? We can fix that."

Might be a start. But it's never approached that way.

People don't usually want to be terrorists. The places these people come from are the poorest on earth and don't know anything other than suffering and exploitation.

    Their flag says "death to America, death to Israel, curse be upon the Jews". In some sense, I think you can't blame an oppressed group for radicalizing in an attempt to improve their situation. But it's hard to sympathize with a militant, anti-semitic terrorist organization.

    Personally, I think the US should end the Prosperity Guardian operation. It should end support for Israel. And it should end oil imports. This will push America more towards decarbonization while reducing America's interest in the Middle East. But that will raise gas prices, so it'll never happen.
