I'm still not seeing why Israel is being treated as a priority over or at least equal to Ukraine. Ukraine is up against a legitimately strong adversary using human wave tactics. Israel is dropping bombs seemingly indiscriminately on mostly civilians. Ukraine is fighting for its existence. Israel is getting revenge on its much, much weaker neighbor.

If Iran and its proxies enter the war, that might change the calculations, but that hasn't happened yet.

Agreed. Even if Iran enters the war, it will be to stop a genocide. I don't understand why the US is so keen to tie themselves to Netanyahu's government.

Yeah, Iran is known as a moral beacon in the region, holding up human rights.

The only reason they would enter a war is, of course, to stop a so called genocide
