Israeli government will vote today on transferring a prime Jerusalem real estate property to the KGB state because some tsarist charity bought it in the nineteenth century. Olmert visits Moscow today, and so the vote’s outcome is certain: the government feels it needs a gesture toward Moscow to gain support for some more useless sanctions against Iran.
After Russia agreed to deliver S-300 anti-missile defense to Syria on the board of Russian Navy stationed in the Syrian port of Tartus and blocked sanctions against Iran, Israel really needs to gratify it.
The property transfer opens the way to myriad similar claims: in the nineteenth century, everyone but the Jews owned properties in Jerusalem and Israel.
