Over the last year and a half, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky kept himself busy repeatedly demanding more money, supplies, and weapons from the United States and other governments to pay for Ukraine’s war against Russia. No matter how much was given, he never accepted it as enough. More, more, more aid, he constantly demanded. It looks like the Israel government is starting off in its new war on the same course of aid demands as the Ukraine government has pursued.

Andrew Napolitano has done a great job helping people become informed about developments in the Ukraine War through his interviews with guests with pertinent knowledge and insights, including Douglas Macgregor, Ray McGovern, and Scott Ritter. As war builds in the Middle East after the Hamas attack of last week, Napolitano has been providing a similarly valuable service in presenting information about this new war.

Over the last week, most United States Congress members have rushed out to proclaim to all their commitment to “stand with Israel,” many of them adding that they want the US to support the Israel government in doing whatever it decides to do in pursuing war in response to last week’s Hamas attack. And the early action by the Israel government indicates that what it seeks is, at minimum, decimation in Gaza. Among Israelis, though, there is substantial opposition to the Israel government pursuing the all-out war path.
