A dispute about a ship full of stolen grain has lifted the veil on a geopolitical reality that has persisted for years but is rarely mentioned in western capitals or noticed by western media: the curiously friendly relationship between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took to X to complain that a Panama-flagged ship was preparing to unload 25,000 tonnes of wheat and barley stolen from his country in Haifa, Israel. An investigation by Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz suggests the Panormitis was at least the fifth ship so far this year to carry grain taken from occupied Ukraine to Israel.
“In any normal country, purchasing stolen goods is an act that entails legal liability,” Zelenskyy wrote. "This is not — and cannot be — legitimate business. The Israeli authorities cannot be unaware of which ships are arriving at the country’s ports and what cargo they are carrying.”
Apparently many Israeli people are also mad about Ukraine’s close relations with Turkey. (Turkey and Israel are in competing emerging power blocks)
Believe it or not, Israeli society is built on theft and they do not care how the Ukrainians feel about missing grain shipments.
I mean Israel do not have a single sanction of Russia and the west do not pressure Israel to do it. Russia also coordinated with Israel in Syria. It is not surprising that Israel do not care about Ukraine.
I’ll laugh if they call Volodymyr Zelenskyy an anti-semite.
If opponent jew = “self hating jew”
If opponent not jew = “antisemite”
They don’t even try, because why bother when western capitalism supports their fascist genocidal ethnostate?
lol clearly he’s a a kapo, trying to starve Jews by denying them Ukrainian grain. In Israel he’s called “Holodomor Zelenskyy” and they burn his effigy every time they receive more wheat.
I hope I never again have to hear Ukraine say that they aspire to be a “big Israel”.
Also, how does Israel have so much support even among adversaries? Russia, USA & EU … chilling.
The answer is racism and doctrines of cultural supremacy. Also a lot of guilt about what happened to the Jews in WWII as a result of racism and doctrines of cultural supremacy.
(This is overly simplistic, of course, but it covers quite a lot of it.)
Guys I’m really beginning to think the Israeli govt might be tied up with some criminal activities.
the curiously friendly relationship between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Why is that curious? I think it makes perfect sense.
