Tangential, and the Ukraine thread being closed, from the "we will support Ukraine forever" stance to "we can't fund them forever" stance taking place as focus toward the Israeli situation takes center stage and related news:

I always worry about propaganda and psyops, but:

TEL AVIV—In the weeks leading up to Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, hundreds of the Palestinian Islamist militant group’s fighters received specialized combat training in Iran, according to people familiar with intelligence related to the assault.

Roughly 500 militants from Hamas and an allied group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, participated in the exercises in September, which were led by officers of the Quds Force, the foreign-operations arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the people said.

Senior Palestinian officials and Iranian Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani, the head of Quds Force, also attended, they said."

While I think the US should stop sending billions of tax $ to pay for the weapons, etc, I have no issues selling them all the weapons they want to defend themselves at friend/allies rates:
