Ukraine is supplying intercepter drones and training, not attack drones.

Yeah, so it's fine if America gives Israel Iron Dome missiles right?

Hint: The answer is "no it's not."

    Those are two very different scales. And the problem is not that the US is giving Israel the means to defend itself, the issue is that the US also enables Israel to commit its crimes all the time.

    Those are two sides of the same coin. The US enables Israel to commit its crimes all the time partly by protecting it from retaliation it'd normally face due to those crimes. Helping a serial killer defend himself while he's serial killing still makes one party to serial killing. Also the scale is different, but the act is the same.

    How about when defensive systems allows a state to withstand retaliatory strikes to their own offensive operations? How does this differenciate any of the parties mentioned? So yes the issue is that the US is giving (defensive) weapons that enable Israel to attack without substantial reprocussions.

    Hell we even fund their socialized healthcare while we pay out the fucking nose
