If people are willing to give aid to Ukraine, giving it to Israel (a much closer ally and strategically far more important partner) should be a no-brainer.

On Netanyahu: He is the democratically elected prime minister and will be in power as long as the Israeli people want him to. This is none of the US’s business and certainly nothing that should affect its foreign policy in any way. Just like the rest of the world had to accept that the American people elected Donald Trump as its legitimate representative. (The same applies to Orbán, Erdogan, etc.)

This makes little sense. We were not, and have not, been giving Ukraine billions every single year for decades now? I'm all in favor of Ukrainian aide, but I don't expect them to require it forever as is the current situation with Israel.

The arms industry is a scourge, and the allusions above about how 'Well, it's alright, they buy our weapons anyway' are morally bankrupt. The fact these insidious hydras have been allowed to metastasize with the rise of globalism and become everyday 'corporations' is even worse.

Humanitarian aide, and any aide we might have given as part of a single package of support after the terrorism of October 7th? More than likely.
