I hate this
- Unfortunately, it was never going to end up any other way. Israel, despite oppressing the Palestinians and being a shit ally, remains a sacred cow for 4/5s of our politicians.
  
  And hamas knew it would end up this way too.
- On the bright side, this means that Republicans may have to stop playing hardball with Ukraine, in order to not appear hypocritical.
  Most support Ukrainian support, and most Western countries need Israel as a foothold in the middle east.
  
  You are making the bold assumption that Republicans give a damn about not appearing hypocritical.
  
  Depends on who you ask, there's 50 Senators and 221 House Representatives on the Republican party.
  Despite the substantial erosion of decorem on the right, there are still some who operate with civility and reason, though they are not as vocal as they should be.
  Before you respond with semi-justified cynicism, it's not an assumption. Republicans know they'd align mostly with Democrats on Israel.
