Has Russia REALLY threatened to declare war on isreal???

Is the average American even aware just how much it costs them as taxpayers to support Israel?

You also need to add in the money that the US gives to Egypt and Jordan every year as their rewards for making peace with Israel.

Most Palestinians and Arab countries have accepted that Israel is here to stay and a deal is there to be made if Israel would retreat back to the 1967 lines with some mutually agreed adjustments, but full US support for Israel is making that impossible.


The irony is US economic, military and political support for Israel is not in fact making Israel safer but more insecure in the medium to long term over the course of this century and beyond.

They need to make themselves "normal" in the region and the best way to do that is to take risks and retreat back to the 1967 lines, with obvious understandings on security like no stationing of foreign troops on West Bank etc.

I think with the way things are going and the demographic changes in US and the changing geopolitical situation as regards the rise of China then Israel could end up finding itself by mid-century as a fortress state and somewhat isolated little country in a sea of hostile neighbours(remember the Arab populations do not really like the peace made with them even if the rulers do). That is no way to live as a nation state.

Here is the context


In 2019, Mr Netanyahu revealed Putin had told him the two countries would have found themselves at war had it not been for their close relationship.

Speaking to Army Radio, the Israeli Prime Minister said: “Putin told me that were it not for our relationship, we could have found ourselves in the midst of a military clash…

"Only because we meet every few months has this been avoided.

“We have four times come close to collisions.

"Our planes in Syria’s crowded airspace almost collided with Russian planes."

At the time, Israel was conducting hundreds of airstrikes in Syria targeting Hezbollah weapon shipments and Iranian military installations.

The raids were coordinated with Iran-allied Russia to avoid a clash in the Syrian skies.

So in summary this is a reference to 2019 where Israeli and Russian aircraft were both operating in the skies over Syria. They worked closely together to avoid any miscommunication and collisions.

No doubt Pakistani Masala strategic Youtubers will be presenting this as Russia threatening Israel with war.

People are very disturbed and heartbroken by ruthless bombings of Gaza by Israel, so such news are just feel good in these times for many, deep down all of us know including me that no one can or will do anything against Israel for as long as they got full support from US and West.
Sola aaney sach baat ki hey aapne ... khusboo laga ke
If it was up to me, which it obviously is not, most if not all of my tax money would not go to Israel.
Impossible task even if you were in position to do that because your bill will be lost by bipartisan opposition and conditions were made for you to never get re-elected ever again ...
