Palestinian terrorists attacked Israel in an unprovoked manner. The same can be said for Ukraine with Russia's three-day "special military operation" that has lasted 594 long days. Israel has weapons, although they might need help replenishing them at some point. Israel's military is one of the best in the world. Undoubtedly, the U.S. will throw its full support behind Israel after the horrendous attack on its civilians.

It was only a matter of time before a Republican stepped forward with a Putinesque message. Josh Hawley, the pro-insurrectionist fist-pumping Missouri Senator, seemed happy to oblige.

"Israel is facing existential threat," Hawley tweeted, even though we give a lot of money to Israel annually. "Any funding for Ukraine should be redirected to Israel immediately."

We can do both, Comrade. And Russia is more of a threat to the world. If Ukraine loses, we all lose because Putin will go after Poland and other nearby countries. Hawley knows this.

Twitter users jumped in.

Imagine that:

He sure said the quiet part out loud.
