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 …

Some in this comments who see biblical predictions. I say to them. ‘is israel an allegory’. And from that there whole allegory jive collapses
We kind of think of the Ukrainians being responsible for winning
their own war. I think the same thing will have to happen
in Russia. They will have to win their own war against
Putin.
I understand your premise, but things start getting dicey
when you sanction this sort of thing in Russia. All of a
sudden you have some hothead offering a big price on Trump’s
head, thinking they are the same thing.
Is that you, Lindsey?
Yes, Jpost has taken a very far left turn the past couple of years—it’s been downhill since Caroline Glick left as chief editor.
It’s literally a click-bait left wing propaganda post now. Their covid coverage has been beyond propaganda—literally spewing out lies and disinformation and fear panic porn.
such a shame because historically the Jpost did a solid job of reporting and genuinely gave legitimate space to both the left and right. now they literally force the globalist agenda down our throats.
Israel has nothing to gain aggravating Putin
They get on fairly well with him considering
And Russian Jews are I think Israels plurality ethnic group now
Plus tons of historical baggage over Ukraine and assisting Einsatzgruppen
And while Ukraine is hardly a neonazi state they sure allow those inclined a more public seat at the table than most western nations
USA pressure on Israel to vote yes after they refused to cosponsor must have been intense on the UN PR stunt
And let’s face it honestly
European elites fund anti Israel groups pretty strong and always equivocate about Palestine
So why bother if you’re Israel ..I don’t blame them
We’ll see where things go.
God bless.
I think if you went to the utmost fear level, why sure, you’re
right. The problem with that theory is, Latvia gave up nukes
and hasn’t rearmed in a nuclear sense since joining NATO.
Estonia does have nukes either. Both countries border Russia.
Both are in NATO.
I don’t see the E. U. ever attacking a nation like Russia.
It has nukes. It has a fairly good army.
It just wouldn’t happen.
If the Ukraine did signal it was going to rearm with
nuclear weapons, then I think Putin would have a valid
claim to prevent it.
I’d back his play in that eventuality.
Really you can say the same about Egypt , Jordan , Colombia, Ethiopia , Nigeria , Lebanon and so
I’m not one of these thinks Israel doesn’t make mistakes nor are they my end times good luck charm
I like them because I know the place and they are fairly civilized
It makes practical sense for them to stay on the down low
It is ludicrous for Russia to claim and attack Ukraine on that basis. It would be like England claiming and then attacking and seizing Denmark and Norway because, after all, in the same era, England's King Alfred the Great defeated the Vikings, thereby giving England a claim in perpetuity to all their lands and territories.
Or, in the Middle East context, it would be like modern Egypt claiming Israel on the basis that the Jews, as Egypt's runaway slaves, owed themselves and their territories to Egypt.
It’d be too late then
His reasoning is like the guy playing the Tony Accardo role when discussing killing Dorfman in Casino
“Why take a chance?”
That’s not Putins only reasoning ...there are many...Russian ethnics is a big one
The rest I can only guess
Kiev is to him like Kosovo to Serbs
That’s a guess
Obviously he wants the Crimea for ports
I’m surpoesed Odessa is getting a pass which I think was once a near majority Jewish center in the Ukraine before WWII
The modern, secular state of Israel was created in 1948. That it was named after Biblical Israel does not mean its creation was prophecy, other than the self-fulfilling kind.
I don’t have all the answers, and this is way bigger than Putin, but Putin and the left have been subverting the US all along.
And mostly on the same team, most of the time.
Just spent a good portion of the day working on a segment of a thesis for a small team, showing the stages of total moral collapse the KGB and then FSB (from 1994), have worked to achieve.
It is comprehensive and generational (largely strategized from 1949-1955), and included well funded efforts to infiltrate Seminaries of different denominations with “Social Marxism”, and “Liberation Theology”, and included utilzing “Bolshevik feminism” and drugs, as genesis and strategy to infiltrate both Christianity and secular education with homosexuality, and what we refer to as LGBTQ today.
Its insane!
I posted this earlier today, but it’s all related, so will throw it in here.
There are many different, yet related global communist links —
There has remained a strong Klaus schwab / Vladimir Putin connection since at least 1992 -
*Putin met, and has worked with Klaus Schwab from his pre arranged Gorbechev appointment and new cover as mayor of St Petersburg, following his time as highest ranking KGB officer in East Germany - 1992
From my own study -
While East German KGB chief, Putin met in person multiple times with the guy we know to be German Chancellor Schroeder (who now leads two of Russia’s largest state owned energy Goliaths), and recruited heavily from University of Leipzig where Angela Merkel had been a student, as well as the Central Institute for Physical Chemistry, Academy of Sciences from 1978 to 1990.

I personally caught the following from the same WEF/Schwab speech, as I understood much of his Russian, but wanted the link so not using my own words (when possible)
From this same Schwab WEF address, Putin pushes global vaccinations, and a new world order constructed around unified central banks -

Then, perhaps the most important recent history missed by professing conservatives and libertarians we have this -

Putin Rewrites Church History to Justify Taking Ukraine
The depth of what has actually transpired is too much for most to eve comprehend —
From a very patriotic friend I’ll refer to as “M” who I knew from one of my abc’s, who reinforced my own knowledge of what Reagan had done in his first term / and it is all relevant-
A casual conversation response to one of my questions -
M - “New World Order is really the replacement term for what they used to call “The Communist International. CCCP was one of the earliest efforts of Communist International”
“My boy Reagan blew it up, and forced the $4.5 Trillion CCCP debt bomb to be called, and it wouldn’t go past the mid 90’s no matter what.”
“Gorbechev was well apprised by his KGB, which realized the turmoil Reagan caused within International, and their western banking alignments, and that CCCP would need to evolve into a butterfly to get their western debts rescheduled or even wiped out.”
“Gorbachev knew *the struggle would need cocoon. Putin knew, and favored the lesser of the evils, and worked on what we now know as the CIS, at least as early as 1987.”
“Gorbachev had already [been] working the Communist International’s western banking friends for what would be called Green Cross around the same time.” —
As I believe you are probably aware, “Green Cross” was initially HQ’d in San Francisco (then eventually Geneva, Switzerland and Brussels, and finally back to it’s current Gorbachev Foundation home in Moscow), AND was responsible for drafting the political phased “Global Warming/Climate Change” architecture, including from Rio all the way to Paris, and including significant work on “Agenda 21”.
And this is truly only the tip of the “iceberg” / “Butterfly”
Do you dispute the accuracy of the quotes in this article?
Siding with? Or maybe just not taking a side. It doesn’t mean Israel approves of the invasion (aside from a vocal minority), and it certainly won’t assist Russia in its destructive efforts. That’s my take.
I was just referring to the site.
No I don’t trust Haaretz to “quote” anything.
Well, if we look at it like we did in Cuba, there were already
missiles in Cuba when we caught on.
I don’t think he’d have to deal with that. Satellites today
can reveal things like that before the goods are on hand.
The coast had been captured on the Black Sea almost across to
Odessa. He may not think he needs to go that far. Not
sure.
As I understand, they gave them up in exchange for promises of aid from UK and US, if attacked.
As I have said many times, Only idiots give up weapons in exchange for promises
When considering Israeli politics, bear in mind that Russian is one of the top three ‘native’ languages in Israel, spoken by about 20% of the population and, Russians are the second-most tourists to Israel after the US, accounting for 80% of medical treatment tourism and 30-40% of all tourist dollars spent. Israel also exports a lot of produce to Russia. Which is why some in Israel feel they have a ‘special relationship’ (loyalty?) with Russia. And why they offer themselves as ‘mediators’ since their economy takes a hit when Russia’s economy takes a hit.
