All but a handful have been vocally supporting what is happening outside our borders. Congo, Sudan, Palestine, et. al. are all related.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.
If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.
By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

“Violence never solves anything”
Of all possible statements, this is among the least true. There is a reason we construct moral rules around the use of violence – it’s super effective and anybody can do it interpersonally.
