a military analyst at sky news has observed that israel relies on Patriot missiles for its air defence... yet there is also a huge need for them in ukraine. the USA has about 2,000 of them.
at some point the US government will have to choose which country gets priority for missile supplies.
which should come first in your view? Israel or Ukraine?

When there are conflicts that a nation wishes to get involved in, at the level of arms supply to allies, then it's production level should already be sufficient to cover those needs. If it isn't presently able to achieve that then it is failing to resource it's military requirements properly and must correct that as an immediate priority.
this isn't coming from me. it's a question posed by Sky News' military analyst... who seems to be of the view that if it comes down to it then israel will get preference.
what is your view toratoratora? do you really think the west can fully back both israel and ukraine at the same time? if it can't then which should it prioritise?
don't avoid the question just because it's difficult.
The question posed is clearly not relevant. US Jewish voters will apply pressure but since they are divided on the conflict it may prove less overall pressure than would otherwise be the case.
A better discussion might be on why all US president contenders, plus the existing president, are so lukewarm on allowing Ukraine to use donated weaponry as they need to in order to start making gains rather than moving slowly backwards.
Why does Israel have to come before Ukraine? Well, as you know the Americans have supported Israel particularly since the 60's and the relationship has been beneficial to both nations- economic, strategic and military-wise. From a US point of view, Ukraine is just another foreign war in Europe. Yes, they have and continue to support Ukraine, but they're not top priority.
