Reply to comment by pepelepew111111 in Ukraine says Iran’s help for Russia should push Israel out of neutral stance by Lahampsink

Also Ukraine has an abysmal record of voting against Israel in the UN. We are all for Ukraine over Russia but come on…

The UNGA just voted on making Israel give up its nuclear weapons. Ukraine voted in favor of giving them up. You know, the same weapons that Ukraine gave up which allowed Russia to invade two decades later.

And unlike Ukraine, Israel doesn't really share any borders with reliable allies that could be depended upon to support them.

The only reason they haven't been directly attacked in a while is because it went really poorly for the attackers the last few times, and Israel has since ensured that its military is the biggest, baddest dog on the block - by necessity.

The one that stayed out of its earliest, most important wars thinking it would lose?

The one that to date has given it hundreds of billions of dollars of aid money, not to mention ongoing military support

So yes, the one that gives that aid money with the caveat that it must be spent on American weapons that will then get battle tested, unless it’s spent on technology and intelligence that also benefits America. But I’m not sure what ongoing military support you mean since you’re mentioning that separately from aid money.

Which we are thankful for, but you can't base the existence of your country on a single ally. The US didn't always support Israel and there is no guarantee it will always continue to do so.

Yes, the one which is half a world away and wouldn't really have any safe path to get supplies in should put surrounding nations decide it's in their best interest to fuck with Israel again.

That voting record no doubt will not be completely forgotten, yes.

Especially since today we got a painful reminder that Israel is still as anti-Israel as it was for decades.

Ukraine has a voting record against a lot of nations it seems to be asking for help from. Such as India.

To be fair though, India is shady as fuck.
