Russian propagandists must have solved all of their own problems because they are now actively criticizing how Israel is conducting its response to the terror attack on Saturday.
It’s actually fascinating to observe how the public sentiment in Ukraine immediately and completely turned to support Israel while public sentiment in Russia as immediately and completely went against Israel. This doesn’t mean that anybody in Russia (other than the leader of Chechnya Kadyrov) is expressing pro-Palestinian sentiments. I’m not seeing any of that at all. It’s just that there’s a lot of vitriol or Schadenfreude against Israel with no attendant compassion for Palestinians.
It’s interesting because Israel never did anything against Russia or for Ukraine. These are sentiments that existed long before the war. I heard some interesting explanations of this from several leading Ukrainian Jewish pundits but I don’t know how correct they are.
