War and politics

In the U.S., the pattern, or correlation, seems clear.

The Democrats love Ukraine.
The GOP loves Israel.
So we have The Party of Ukraine and The Party of Israel.
Each a war party.

Both Ukraine and Israel are enmeshed in wars without a clear ending point.
Both are strongly supported by the U.S.

Both nations should negotiate a reasonable peace with their respective adversaries, 
but it doesn't seem the U.S. will use its leverage with each nation to get them to do that.
