Ukraine's Criticism of Israel Will Gain What? Spotlight On WWII Action

Zelensky's government has taken the position of yelling at Israel for not standing up to Russia's attack on Ukraine.  They have even joined the masses at the US in always voting against Israel.

What does it take to clean their glasses and see the truth about the triangulated relationship that exists between Israel, Russia and Ukraine?                            

The 6 million Jews of Israel and 2 million Muslims in their 8,550 sq. miles must pussyfoot around Russia as the conditions of all the terrorists attacking Israel call for a calm Russia to not get their feathers ruffled too much in the  process.  Russia is gigantic compared to teeny Israel with 143.4 million Russians or more on land that's 6,323, 142 sq. miles.  The largest country in the world is Russia.  They are the big brother to the Syrians including their terrorists who continually attack Israel.  They are the hornet in a nest that Netanyahu does not intend to hit with a stick.   

    Hezbollah terrorists attacking Israel while being backed by Russia's position towards Israel....It's complicated.  The point is, that Russia will accept just so much activity from Israel and then.....

The situation is unlike what others are finding themselves.  " Netanyahu expressed that there are “complex” relations between Israel and Russia, primarily because of the risk to Israel's freedom of military action in Syria as it fights the Iranian military entrenchment there. He stressed that in the last eight years, he had designed a policy to prevent a crisis between Jerusalem and Moscow, which could break out if pilots of the two countries collided in Syrian skies.  Russia is said to leave Israel alone in their defense of themselves against the Syrian terrorists in view that Russia is on the Syrian side and not Israel's.

Netanyahu then reiterated a promise to "look into" the idea of supplying Israeli weapons to Ukraine, including the "Iron Dome" air-defense systems, while hinting that Israel might help Ukraine "with other kinds of aid," instead. Case in point, he portrayed the transfer of 250,000 artillery shells belonging to the United States—which were pre-positioned in Israel—as the United States using Israel's munitions and passing it to Ukraine. At the same time, he emphasized that Israel provides significant humanitarian aid to Ukraine, including the reception of refugees.

It felt like being in a movie.’ Photograph: Quique Kierszenbaum  ‘No one really believed it would happen’: first Jewish Ukrainian refugees arrive in Israel. Influx of 100,000 refugees from the war zone expected as members of the diaspora exercise the country’s law of return.  Dozens of blue and white flags were waiting for the first Jewish Ukrainian refugees to arrive in Israel as part of a huge rescue operation triggered by Moscow’s invasion.                

Netanyahu’s comments in the interview indicate that despite the deepening rift between Russia and the West, Netanyahu intends to continue the policy he has maintained towards Russia since 2015, separating Israel's campaign against Iran from a larger great-power rivalry. More specifically, Israel hopes to maintain its partnership with Washington without alienating Moscow. The wording that Israel will "look into" supplying weapons to Ukraine probably implies that Israel’s policy review process will not lead to direct assistance to Kyiv with lethal weapons.
