New Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen signaled a policy shift on Ukraine in his 1st speech hinting the new government will take a more pro-Russian line. He said he will speak on Tuesday with Russian FM Lavrov, the first such call since the SMO began. We’ll see where this goes. Even as a Palestine supporter, Israeli politicians are known to be very rational and calculating. I personally think that this latest announcement, if followed through on, could be very significant

    Doubt it. Without USian support, specifically its political weight, Israel is likely fucked. And as for Russia, Israel has had surprisingly okay relationship with modern Russia - possibly due to the amount of runaway oligarchs and double citizens

    They’re not “shifting away” from US, they simply have enough 'murican politicians in the bag that they can just do whatever the fuck they want. I was watching an interview with Ali Abunimah recently and he put it very succinctly: Israel is the equivalent of Donald Trump but on the world stage. Trump could shoot an American citizen in broad daylight and he wouldn’t lose any supporters. Israel could shoot an American citizen in broad daylight and they wouldn’t lose any American politician.

    The geopolitical relationship between Israel and USA is very one sided thanks to AIPAC. USA has to go through excruciating lengths to defend Israeli interests but Israel isn’t gonna do shit for American interests and any American politician who complains about this one sided relationship will be instantly labeled an anti Semite by Israeli establishment and AIPAC and their entire political career would basically be over.

    The Zionist Entity will never gonna change no matter what . It should be wiped out of the world . No peace should be done with the Zionist mofos ever . No matter how many good façade they put they are literally lying and they are not honest about almost everything . That is what the Zionists want you to think . i will never gonna fall for their fashist games and their f*cking hasbara propaganda machine . And remember my beloved comrades . Never trust a Zionist .

    Edit : A rule from the Palestine community of lemmygrad : ‘ We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose “defence force”'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care. ’

    And i completely agree with what is been said in this rule and i stand by it no matter what.

    Edit : thanks to the one who give me a downvote .

    Death to Isn’treal ! . 😤

    Nah, if USA leaves Israel as ally, they are done for in the Middle East, maybe they are closer with Russia and don’t want to support you know, literal nazis anymore, but they always been close with Russia, and that doesn’t change anything.
