How are the repubs not pro-war?

They are pro-Israel and anti-Palestine.

They are pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine.

The republicans I know have pretty varying opinions on those two wars. One pretty common thread is that they don't want us involved though, regardless of which side of the wars they align with.

True they are pro-israel, but so is most of the dems. It's the one topic that actually gets bipartisan support.

repubs aren't pro russia. they are just anti-getting-involved in there.

Anecdotally, I’ve seen many republicans be anti-Israel and anti-Palestine, anti-Ukraine and anti-Russia. Their stance is pro-America.
They have managed to have themselves perceived as anti-war, which is an obvious untruth.
They are certainly more anti-war than the Dems right now
The GOP would rather the Ukraine war end (probably with Russia winning).
Boy what an over generalization.

Most are anti palestine because Hamas is a terrorist. Sorry I won’t support terrorism and support what Israel is doing.

I support Ukraine because I know what Russia needs Ukraine for.

Do I want to see people shooting? No because I’ve been to war and seen how ugly it is. Sometimes you have to defend yourself though.

I still voted for Trump.

Arguably being pro-Israel is anti-war. Israel's current conflict is the direct result of several entities starting a war with her last October. Suggesting that Israel should not fight back is promoting the idea of war as a means of getting what one wants.
