Let's see how conservatives try to defend our spending in Israel. In what way does that money help U.S. citizens in any way? Our relationships with oil-producing countries do not benefit at all from this expense. So... Why spend this money? Go ahead, conservatives. Try to justify your religious cos-play.

Something like "We need to help Israel so that the apocalypse will happen and all Christians will go to heaven while everyone else is cast into the lake of fire."

Conservatives don't need to try to justify it. They want Palestine to burn and all of its inhabitants killed. If that means doing nothing while Israel happily gives the US more money in exchange for American made bombs and guns to continue their genocide, all the better for them.
There's even some weird conservative conspiracy theory that is trying to make Ukraine out to be a secret Muslim plot to replace Christianity in Eastern Europe, with Russia just doing their duty as a good Christian nation trying to prevent that from happening.
Logic doesn't need to reach these people. They don't understand logic, so they have nothing to justify. They're just right and everyone else is wrong and if you stand in their way they'll resort to violence to get what they want.
The difference between still providing Israel defensive weapons and curtailing shipments of offensive weapons needs to be explained to the public. It seems the media is not up to the job.
Not so hard, unless you really didn't care to begin with. One can only be used to defend as anti rocket fire. The other is dropped on things you don't like in an offensive manner.
