Ukraine and Taiwan need the help. But does Israel?
No. Israel can take on Hamas without any problems. It might help a bit. If other countries became involved, then it could get dicey, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen, and they're okay as things stand.
However, supporting Israel is pretty popular with American voters, so I expect that some form of aid will happen.

It's because most people view Israel as a bulwark against Middle Eastern nations full of 'evil terrorists and Muslims' (or so they're told). There's also the powerful Jewish lobby and rich donors who can make or break a politician.
Exactly how I feel.
If that’s the compromise it takes to get support where it is needed then so be it. The US has plenty to go around and Israel is going to do what they will do with or without our help.
