Not so long as Netanyahu is in power. Once he's gone, I'd definitely reconsider.

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.)

I don't think that's right at all. These are not comparable issues. It's not the fact that Israel is electing someone we dislike. Part of it does come down to how he's prosecuting the war, which is entirely relevant in determining how military aid should be appropriated. The other matter comes down to the issue of respect. We're the f-cking superpower here. Show some f-cking respect. Most foreign leaders do, particularly when hat in hand in Washington. Zelenskyy certainly has. Netanyahu shows absolutely no respect for the United States.
