That's hairsplitting imo, and doesn't alter the fact that American taxpayers are supplying weapons to both warzones. To put it another way, America is pouring petrol on both fires. Team America are playing World Police again, and it's hard to think of an occasion when that's ever ended well.
I’m not sure anti Semitism explains the narrative, but Ukraine good Israel bad is certainly the story we are all being sold.
Nobody ever really wins in war, and there are no good guys except the innocent who always suffer most. It’s a decent into savagery that should be avoided at all costs imo.
