Another motivation may be that if US weapons need to be sent to Israel they won’t be sent to Ukraine.
Russian support of Hamas after Hamas’ atrocities is vile.
We have given money to them too
And That stupid girl white house spokesman continues to downplay anti semitism which appears rampant to me and to overplay concerns about Islamophobia
Putin so far has asked Israel to use restraint on collaterals and offered to mediate
It’s a hit piece
Putin gets along with Netanyahu better than any Russian or soviet I recall ever did with Israel
That said historically Russia has been more sympathetic to pali and Arab and non aligned issues than we have
But everybody funded Hamas directly or indirectly over the years
Including even Israel
At first some figured give it a try after Fatah
Remember Arab spring
Muslim brotherhood bullshit aped by our stupid media
It’s complicated back story crap
Russia does get along with Iran but it aint no love story
Nobody is close to them
They are like the Palestinians
Troublesome
