Genuinely asking but is Russia supporting Israel currently?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 7 months ago

As far as I've read, no. They have a fraught relationship because of the Russian pogroms of jews awhile back. But Israel is also unable to get away from them as Russia still has a Jewish population that they have no qualms abusing if their relationship goes south. It's why the Israelis aren't giving stuff like iron Dome launchers and rockets to the Ukrainians, because they know Russia will start punishing Russian jews for it.

There are some accounts here that are puppets to the US media. Russia is the bad guy, Iran is the bad guy and china is the bad guy and we need to take them down.

Yet they fail to illustrate why things happen in the first place and neglected to mention the aggressive and failed foreign policies the US and it's allies are following.

Saying this is not about Gaza is missed up, because it neglected the fact that they target ships from part Israelis owner, the US which aid Israel, the Marshall Islands flags because that what the Israeli use for their ships to avoid being targeting.
