There’s no reason the U.S. can’t help both allies in their brutal wars — and protect our own border.
The same isolationist-tinged arguments that Sen. Josh Hawley has used, unconvincingly, against Ukraine could just as easily be used against Israel. | Francis Chung/POLITICOMissouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley wants to redirect funding from Ukraine to Israel. Which raises the question: Why does the senator care about Israel’s borders more than our own?
Yet support for Israel, too, would fail by the demagogic standards that have been set for Ukraine funding by certain Republicans. It’s preposterous. But so embedded is this trope in the Republican conventional wisdom that in the last Republican debate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took a question about Ukraine and made it entirely about enforcing the U.S. border. Ordinarily, this would have been considered a head-spinning non sequitur, but everyone knew what he was getting at., “Listen, you can either be the party of Ukraine and the globalists or you can be the party of East Palestine and the working people of this country.
He’s maintained that support to Ukraine has been ineffective because Kyiv is still fighting Russians on its territory. OK, but we’ve backed Israel for half a century and it’s still surrounded by terrorist enemies. If Ukraine and Israel are different places facing different threats, there’s much about both of them that should call on our sympathy and support. They both have been brutalized by a wholly unjustified invasion. They both have been the victims of hideous war crimes — their civilians rocketed, raped and kidnapped. They both are battling forces that hate the United States and the West and that receive backing from Iran.
