    So they never meant it about the Palestineans then. Just another state-backed group playing stateless people as bargaining chips.

      Genuinely asking but is Russia supporting Israel currently?

        As far as I’ve read, no. They have a fraught relationship because of the Russian pogroms of jews awhile back. But Israel is also unable to get away from them as Russia still has a Jewish population that they have no qualms abusing if their relationship goes south. It’s why the Israelis aren’t giving stuff like iron Dome launchers and rockets to the Ukrainians, because they know Russia will start punishing Russian jews for it.
