It appears that the main purpose of the OP, contrary to what its header suggests, is to compare US funding for Ukraine and Israel rather than bring attention to the recent events in Kyiv (not Kiev, which is the city's Russian name, not used officially since Ukraine became independent of the Soviet Union in 1991), and not to highlight Russia's attack on Kyiv on December 20 at all. Less than half of your post is dedicated to covering the subject event, and its content and commentaries were peppered with rather awkward references to Palestinians, very few of whom I suspect were in Kyiv on Dec. 20.
Yes, the events you are reporting are dramatic, but there is nothing else they have in common. A rather weak departure point to make comparisons.
One of your sources had absolutely nothing in it to connect it to the Kyiv attack. Two citations from another source had absolutely nothing in them to connect events in Gaza to Kyiv. Neither one of these three sources support your premises, other than by far-fetched association and conjecture of your own making, not the facts or the data contained in them.
The only source that contains data that may be compared to possibly make your point is usafacts.org. But even here, the comparison is between apples and oranges.
You probably imagined the numbers from the two citations in that source would be comparable, so your punchline,
"One of the major differences between Putin’s Nakba against the Ukrainians and Netanyahu’s pogrom against the Palestinians: Funding. The hard-working American taxpayer is rightfully funding the defense of one people from suffering while wrongfully funding the suffering of another. Since Feb 2022, the US has allocated $113.4 billion in emergency funding to support Ukraine. Meanwhile, the US committed over $3.3 billion in foreign assistance to Israel in 2022, the most recent year for which data exists. About $8.8 million of that went toward the country's economy, while 99.7% of the aid went to the IDF. From 1951 to 2022, US aid to Israel totaled $317.9 billion."
might appear plausible. But even here, even if one disregards the preposterous "Putin's Nakba" red herring, and a naked subjectivity of "rightfully funding the defense of one people from suffering while wrongfully funding the suffering of another", a cursory look at the numbers alone completely obliterates your presuppositions.
First, the latest available data for US military aid to Israel (
https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-us-military-spending-8e6e5033f7a1334bf6e35f86e7040e14): 17.4 billion since October 7 (roughly a 14 month period). This accounts for military aid to fight Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran, among other lesser but equally deadly enemies.
Compare this to Ukraine's $113.5 billion (not counting the $26 billion in Presidential drawdown funds, which alone, at 0.8 billion per month is nearly comparable to the total of 1.25 billion per month military aid given to Israel since Oct. 7) to oppose Russia. This amounts to roughly 3.4 billion per month, which is 270% more than Israel got.
If your concern is the major difference in the contributions of hard working Americans to the funding of Israel and Ukraine respectively, it is grossly misplaced.
What makes you so adamant in making points unsupported by facts? You tell me.
