“It is sad that such righteous sense of commitment does not extend to Ukraine.”

That’s because Ukraine is a hyper corrupt oligarchy run by criminals.

“The idea that we abandon Israel when we embrace them, grant them citizenship and welcome them into our land as partners is absurd.”

What about the ones who don’t want to come here? You forgot that part. I posed that specifically. Why didn’t you respond to that?

Then there’s the whole Samson Option which you completely ignored…

Why is that?

You exaggerate. Yes, Ukraine has its corruption but half the world thinks that Israel is corrupt and, worse, engaged in genocide. To fixate on Ukrainian corruption while ignoring the rank corruption that is bedeviling the United States, smacks of hypocrisy. Finally, you ought to look at the trajectory: Ukraine is policing itself, exposing its corrupt actors, and has reformed enough to effect one of the most miraculous defenses of homeland that rivals that of the Israelis. This level of sacrifice and courage is not ot done by a nation thoroughly riddled by corruption.

What about the ones who don’t want to come here? You forgot that part. I posed that specifically. Why didn’t you respond to that?

I do not see, even now, that you pose that question. Those who do not want to come to the states would not participate in the protection of citizenship. To say that their rejection of a magnanimous offer of protection is the determining factor is to pass control of our national security to another nation. The offer being made of citizenship for those who come here is a thoroughly moral solution. The act of those rejecting the offer does not render it immoral. It is ethical for a country to act according to its national interests to the degree that the action is moral.

Then there’s the whole Samson Option which you completely ignored…

I am aware of the Samson story in the Bible but I am unaware of any present application, perhaps you can inform me.
