Israel is a liability for the US. Contrary to popular thinking, an alliance can be a liability, especially such one that operates on politics, self-interest. People think China is weak because it has no allies. China does not have liabilities like the US does. It is not entangled in bilateral or organization defense pacts. Israel can do what it wants because the Israel lobby is powerful in the US. The US is a flawed democracy that has to follow and support an insignificant country by a lot of measures. Israel is protected. Ukraine is not protected. Nor do I think that is the point of US and NATO involvement in Ukraine. I think they wanted Russia to invade.

The problem with democrats in my view is they have a diverse constituency. You have your liberals, your socialist, democrat nationalist, progressives, and even conservative democrats that span different racial groups, classes, and cultures. You vote democrat for government help such as welfare, minimum wage, basically the cynic against corporations and the rich. Conservative democrats who believe in aggressive American foreign policy don’t resonate with young voters. You can tell Joe Biden tries to encourage American people to support the foreign policy, saying his foreign policy is every American’s foreign policy.
