Zelensky singles out Israel for refusing to join international sanctions against Russia
Arutz Sheva ^ | 24/6/22 | Jackie Hejdenberg

In a live streamed address to students, faculty and staff at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged Israel to join the network of countries around the world that have placed sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

“We are grateful to your great nation. But we would like to also get support from your government,” Zelensky said. “Tell me, how can you not help the victim of such aggression?”

In his address, Zelensky recognized the connected histories of Ukraine and Israel, noting the Ukrainian origins of Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, Zionist leader Zev Jabotinsky and many others.

He also noted that the Russian shelling of Ukrainian cities has affected many Jewish historical sites, such as the memorial at Babyn Yar, where at least 33,000 Jews were murdered by Nazis and their Ukrainian collaborators in 1941. At least five people were killed in the Russian shelling at Babyn Yar in March.

There's a lot I like about Zelensky, and I do agree that Israel should support Ukraine where feasible. But we also have to watch out for Russia, which is camped in Syria next door. Only Andy Williams can afford to refuse a bear his milk and cookies. Most people with a bear for a neighbor do not want to p!ss him off. It won't help Ukraine one bit for Israel to sanction Russia, but he can swat us pretty hard.

It’s easier to simply conclude that Zelensky really is just a homosexual Nazi. :-P

It’s easier to simply conclude that you’re a fool, looking for easy conclusions rather than judicious ones.

Or…..Israel could be put off by Ukraine’s Stepan Bandera worship and all the SS and AZOV regalia at their political gatherings.

Most vaccinated country.

They do like getting Americans to fight their battles.
Why just last night the OP was pushing for money and equipment from the US to continue while his country does nothing.

This probably carries more weight than people realize. Good point, if it is common knowledge it is being overlooked.

How can a homosexual be a Nazi since the Nazis hated and murdered homosexuals?

The stupidity here has no bounds it seems

Hysteria is the default around here.

Putin (and certain of his oligarch pals) have been good for Jews and Israel, but their views are definitely not shared with many others of the Russian elites and public. That’s pretty much how it always is for Jews.

What a cry baby Z is. You, Z, could have easily avoided this war but NO, you got greedy, you could end this war today but no you are still greedy. Not one more penny for the Ukraine.

It's easiest of all to conclude that some people here on FR don't recognize sarcasm when they see it.

":-P" ... is usually a clue. :-)

Thank you for your posts & comments

BTW, Ukraine rates the 4th in the number of people recognized as “Righteous Among the Nations” for saving Jews during the Holocaust.

The history of the Jews in Ukraine goes back over a thousand years. Jewish communities have existed in the territory of Ukraine from the time of the Kievan Rus’ (late 9th to mid-13th century).

Some of the most important Jewish religious and cultural movements, from Hasidism to Zionism, rose either fully or to an extensive degree in the territory of modern Ukraine. According to the World Jewish Congress, the Jewish community in Ukraine constitutes the third-largest in Europe and the fifth-largest in the world.

In the Ukrainian People’s Republic (1917-1920), Yiddish was declared a state language, along with Ukrainian and Russian. At that time, the Jewish National Union was created and the community was granted an autonomous status. Yiddish was used on Ukrainian currency in this same period, between 1917 and 1920.

“From your mouth to God’s ears” is a Yiddish-language expression meaning :“may what you’ve said come to pass.”

You travel seamlessly between hysteria and vulgarity, and neither makes you sound intelligent. Please try harder QBall.

Yes, and Vlad croaking cannot not come soon enough. The West must take its chances on who rises from the Roooskie wreckage to succeed Vlad. Bad Vlad, cancerous Vlad, has at most 24 months left.
