Honest question, is funnelling them money still passive support? I understand aid for Ukraine defending their soil, but I'm not ok with sending my money to help Israel do a genocide.

Thanks for being sincere. I only used the term passive in the sense that we're not sending our own troops over to actively participate. I agree with you on the money transfer issue. I also consider it noteworthy that a lot of the legislation for Israel financial support not only excludes support for Ukraine, but requires the funds to be diverted from useful domestic purposes.
