Now, that’s not even hypocrisy. The Russians have decided to outdo other anti-Semites in condemning Israel. The Russian president’s Middle East envoy met the top Fatah thug in Ramallah and demanded that Israel stop the operation in Gaza immediately, lest the innocent Palestinians suffer. The envoy also condemned Israel for destabilizing the Middle East.
Of course it was Martians, rather than Russians, who killed hundreds of thousands civilians in Chechnya, Afghanistan, and similarly unfortunate places. And of course, Russian nuclear arrangements with Iran and Egypt, as well as S-300 sales, serve to stabilize the region.
Instead of rebuking Russia’s anti-Semitic regime, Israeli officials listen to them subserviently and bring gifts, such as the Sergiev Courtyard in Jerusalem.
Curiously, Arabs keep good relations with Russia, despite its atrocities in Muslim Afghanistan. Compare this to the universal hatred of the United States after Iraq, and of Israel. Arabs respect brute force, or rather the forces of brutes.
The Russians have embarked on a diplomatic offensive to win the Middle East from Americans. Besides the nuclear deals, arms sales, and stationing the Russian Navy in Syria, Russians have embraced PR measures. Thus, Medvedev ordered an aid package into Gaza. Technically, Russian aid amounts to nonsense: a direct flight from Russia brought to Gaza twenty tons of fuel (imagine the costs) and clothes (why would the Gazans suddenly need any?). Russian aid is only 0.2% of routine UNRWA and Israel (uh…) deliveries, but highly publicized.
