Israel needs some good PR, as to be able to continue its genocide. As if the western population would fall for this trick.
I get Zelensky, who would at this point take weapons from Lucifer himself. It does however not look good to shake hands with a fascist war criminal.
On the bright side, Ukraine accepting these from Israel doesn't really hurt Palestinians, or help Israel... Only if Zelensky promotes Zionism. Keeping his mouth shut about the entire thing is free.
I don't expect a country fighting an authoritarian invasion to sacrifice resources taking a moral stand on foreign affairs. War is hell. There are 190 other countries who are in a position to take an economic, geopolitical, and military stand against Israel.
It does help Israel though. If Ukraine becomes yet another country like US, Germany and others that'll never criticize Israel's actions, the world will never prosecute war criminals like Netanyahu.
It's how US gets away with its war crimes every time, because they "give away" aid to multiple nations. And they won't speak up against US.
So yes, It helps Israel.
Ukraine accepting these from Israel doesn't really hurt Palestinians, or help Israel
Depending on how you look at it, it's actually a good thing that he took it. Every missile given by Israel to Ukraine is a missile that isn't being fired at a Palestinian hospital.
You can't fire patriots at ground targets
Was not aware of that, thanks.
Like i said, i understand Zelensky, i would rather literally die than to take that job.
And you are completely right, other countries need to step the fuck up. Else not a single one of them is worth bleeding or even giving you life for. Shame on all of us.
I think, if we want to shame anyone, it ought be every other country for not helping more. Sucks that theyre taking Israeli arms, but they're currently defending themselves and can probably use a little help.
This is good news. I'm just pointing out how multilateral geopolitics don't mesh well with a two-side mentality. It'll be interesting to see what sides form in public opinion.
Poison Pill
He shouldn't side with a guy doing the same thing to another nation as is being done to his nation. It's like he's saying "as long as they're not my people, it's okay to invade and murder them".
Even the help in resources that Ukraine needs from Israel is just a proxy supply by other countries that supposedly already pledged in helping Ukraine. So instead of these counters diverting their sent resources from Israel to Ukraine, they send them to Israel first so they can perform this publicity stunt?
It just sounds like an inefficient way to help Ukraine, and an excuse to keep committing genocide. To me this makes all those world leaders more complicit in genocide and in enabling Russia, rather then actually helping Ukraine.
Zelensky shouldn't sell his soul, and country's soul, to the devil to save himself from another devil.
I don't know if he can afford to say no to any aid on moral grounds alone.
If there's a silver lining to be found, at least the weapons sent to him are getting use for the defense of his country and not the invasion of another.
This was a token gesture after weapons destinationed for Ukraine in Poland were diverted to israel for their iran bombing campaign.
The Patriot systen had to be sent to US to be refurbished BC it ran custom Israeli software or some such shit.
Israel has a strong anti ukraine sentiment due to large portion of Israeli population being "russian" decent.
This is a essentiallly US paying for the Israel to get some good PR. As always american taxpayers make sure israle is living its best genocide life.
I doubt israel provided any munitions
