    It was supposed to be 100b for just Ukraine originally. So happy (/s) to see that our involvement in the never-ending Israeli-Palestinian feud is sapping our resources for a morally unambiguous conflict that can actually be resolved.

      The issue is that 100B budget was never going to pass because of GOP grifting, but if you include israel in the package it’s likelihood of easy acceptance goes up. It’s also not like this budget request is the only way ukraine is going to get funded.

      Nothing ambiguous about it, really. It’s a conflict between despotic oppressors and terrorists who mistakenly believe that gives them a right to be absolute monsters, with most of the victims being killed belonging to neither group.

      To openly support the apartheid regime led by Netanyahu and other absolute monsters with more money than the entire GDP of Palestine is no better than funding Putin’s abominable invasion would be.
