Guessing it's Russian propaganda or sympathy towards Gazans, the latter I find these days in The Intercept.

This article weirdly ignores the attached budget for Ukraine, which is the actual point of Biden's proposal.

Because Ukraine is generally a fairly popular foreign ally with little mainstream controversy around supporting them. So if you wanted to undermine support for them, easier to knee cap support for the bill from the other direction.
