Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began last week, most Israeli leaders across the political spectrum have either expressed full support for Ukrainians or cautiously supported a neutral approach for strategic reasons, fearful of harming the country’s interests in Russia-controlled Syria.
A minority on the right, however, has gone as far as to express a measure of sympathy and identification with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s justifications for Russia asserting a historic claim to Ukrainian territory.
“People in Russia suit Putin’s rule. Kyiv is Russia’s birthplace. Kyiv for Putin is like Bethlehem and Hebron,” said Maj. Gen. (ret.) Gershon Hacohen, a senior research associate at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, in a recent interview on Kan public television.
Hacohen questioned the assumption that Israel needed to stand with the “Free World” and be on the “right side of history.”
“Is the European Union on ‘the right side of history’ when it opposes me when it comes to Judea and Samaria [the West Bank], building for the Palestinians and pouring money into anti-Zionist NGOs?” he said. “I have to ask myself: what is the right side of history for me?”
While condemning the brutality of Putin’s invasion, some right-wing commentators – similar to their U.S. counterparts, most famously Fox News host Tucker Carlson – positively contrasted the Russian leader’s strength with what they see as the weakness of leaders in Western Europe and the United States, and their failure to offer a counterbalance to his aggression over the years.
Noam Fathi, a right-wing journalist and broadcaster, as well a fierce advocate of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, tweeted that it was NATO and the West who were “standing on the ‘stupid side of history,’” since “it’s the NATO countries who repeatedly provoked Putin, blatantly violated agreements with him …

The globalists are everywhere even Israel. I have heard Israel is being saved for last. Ukraine is being purged now, next up Taiwan, NK, Iran. Trump and the military will take them out of the US.
Russia neighbors to the south might have reason to worry, but to the west? Not so much. The Ukraine brought this on themselves. All they had to do is promise not to join NATO. I wonder what we would think of Mexico or Canada forming a military alliance with communist China? With Chinese troops, tanks and missiles on our border?
The reference is to the Kievian Rus of which Novgorod was the second largest city. Oleg of Novgorod conquored Kiev in the early 10th century, and became ruler of the Kievian Rus, consolidating it into a “state”, previously a looser domain, and is often considered the founder of the “state”, though the Rus predated it by around a century. Novgorod remained the second largest city. Lots of legend here. Of course these were Norse, not slavs. Rus which evolved to Russia generally translated as Swedish or northmen. As elsewhere the Norse population becoming absorbed. Both are reasonably termed “birthplace”, though culturally Russia is Slavic not Norse, thus both incorrect in a cultural sense.
Needless to say what Ha'aertz describes as a minority demonstrates the ingratitude of Israel to the US.
There plenty of similar morons right here on FR wanting Putin to win.
Very strange.
Oh, stop.
This is not “Israel supporting Russia”.
This is a couple of loud idiots in Israel who support Russia.
There are plenty of idiots in FR who support Russia and say Israel’s support of Ukraine is evidence Israel wants a “new world order” and is a Soros puppet.
Heck, there’s a Texan from San Antonio fighting for Russia in the Ukraine. I guess Texas supports Putin.
Israel took real estate in self defense. Ukraine is not a threat to Russia.
Everyone has an a@@-hole, and everyone has an opinion. Usually they both stink. In this case, it’s as per usual.
This scripture: Zec 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
Don’t know the day or the hours but sooner or later a lotta army’s will danged near destroy Israel. Hasn’t happened yet.
To be fair, they did take a lot of neurodegenerative vaccines in the last few years.
A propos to mention them.The Russian attack may be Stalin when they go into a major city and the Ukrainians shower them with Molotov cocktails!
Russia doesn’t have bioweapon labs in Ukraine. The US does/did.
Putin being president is whatever. Queen Elizabeth has been queen since the 50s.
As for invading countries... how many did the US invade under 0bama?
George Bush Sr use to run the CIA
The left and big tech has effectively closed down almost all opposing views especially concerning covid jabs.
Threatening to unleash nukes is nothing new to those of us who were active during the cold war. Toughen up, buttercup.
Is he the good guy? I don’t know. But I know he’s against the NWO and the great reset... both if which zellenskyy has endorsed.
Israel's ability to count on the U.S., depends entirely on who is in office. Given the current administration, and the wokeness of our military; I'm pretty sure counting on the U.S. would be pretty reckless at this iuncture.
