In his words,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the moment, the [Israeli] assessment is that we don\u2019t see a violent confrontation soon. I also don\u2019t think a world war is about to start there\u2026We have a duty to act with caution about the Russia-Ukraine crisis that no other country has.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel promptly responded with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UkraineInIsrael\/posts\/4728577803877702\">fury<\/a>, even going as far as to ridiculously imply that his hosts are Russian puppets when writing on Facebook that<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Minister reiterates rhetoric of Russian propaganda and ignores the disturbing massages from his own strongest allies \u2013 USA, Britain and EU regarding the high possibility of full scale Russian military invasion into Ukraine in coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For as much as the Mainstream Media (MSM) and <a href=\"https:\/\/oneworld.press\/?module=articles&amp;action=view&amp;id=2021\">Alt-Media Community<\/a> (AMC) alike have curiously converged in their false narrative that Russia and \u201cIsrael\u201d are enemies, each in pursuit of their own political ends (the MSM tries to push the \u201cRussian threat\u201d narrative while the AMC pushes the one that \u201cRussia\/Putin are secretly anti-Zionists allied with the Iranian-led Resistance\u201d), there\u2019s no longer any credible way to deny the closeness of their ties. The author elaborated on them earlier in the week in his analysis \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/oneworld.press\/?module=articles&amp;action=view&amp;id=2448\">Interpreting The Latest Russian-\u2018Israeli\u2019 GPS Jamming Scandal<\/a>\u201d that also directs intrepid readers to a <a href=\"https:\/\/thealtworld.com\/andrew_korybko\/why-isnt-alt-media-asking-about-the-s-300s-after-bidens-latest-strike-in-syria\">link<\/a> where they can review 15 of his other relevant analyses over the years on the topic of their unprecedentedly close and increasingly strategic bilateral relations.<\/p>\n<p>It would be redundant and beyond the scope of the present piece to remind the reader of all the objectively existing and easily verifiable facts related to their ties so it\u2019s enough for now to simply inform them that none of this should have been surprising for astute observers.<\/p>\n<p>Israel pragmatically balances between the US and Russia, and if anything, it\u2019s tilted a lot closer towards the latter in recent years since Moscow has done more to ensure Tel Aviv\u2019s regional security concerns than Washington has through the Kremlin\u2019s \u201cpassive facilitation\u201d of its literally hundreds of anti-Iranian bombing operations in Syria and other related measures. This can\u2019t be acknowledged by either the MSM or AMC because it contradicts their equally false narratives about their ties.<\/p>\n<p>The MSM\u2019s audience has been indoctrinated into thinking that Russia is the \u201cultimate evil\u201d while Israel \u00a0is the \u201cultimate good\u201d and therefore wouldn\u2019t understand why these two are working so closely together in Syria since awareness of this raises questions about these interconnected hyperbolic narratives\u2019 credibility. As for the AMC, its audience typically believes the inverse \u2013 that Russia is the \u201cultimate good\u201d while \u201cIsrael\u201d is the \u201cultimate evil\u201d \u2013 and therefore would also immediately start questioning at least the first of these narratives if they found out the truth of those two\u2019s ties. This explains why the MSM and AMC tacitly collude to cover up the reality of Russian-\u201cIsraeli\u201d relations, which have become so close in recent years that one can refer to both in the singular as \u201cRusrael\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The unprecedented scandal that was just provoked by the Ukrainian Ambassador to \u201cIsrael\u201d ridiculously implying that his hosts are Russian puppets who spew so-called \u201cRussian propaganda\u201d and openly defy their so-called \u201callies\u201d implicitly at the Kremlin\u2019s supposed command has drawn global attention to the true nature of those two\u2019s ties that the MSM and AMBC have been covering up for years already. In fact, according to the US-led West\u2019s own standards of so-called \u201cpolitical correctness\u201d, the Ukrainian Ambassador might even be accused of \u201canti-Semitism\u201d for hinting that \u201cIsrael\u201d isn\u2019t truly independent but is controlled by \u2013 or even worse, sold out its independence to \u2013 Russia. There are simply some narrative lines that cannot be crossed in the US-led West, for better or for worse, for right or for wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Israel is truly neutral in the New Cold War\u2019s Western Eurasian theater as proven by its Foreign Minister\u2019s accurate assessment of <a href=\"https:\/\/oneworld.press\/?module=articles&amp;action=view&amp;id=2371\">the<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/oneworld.press\/?module=articles&amp;action=view&amp;id=2420\">undeclared<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/oneworld.press\/?module=articles&amp;action=view&amp;id=2421\">US<\/a>\u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/news.cgtn.com\/news\/2022-01-24\/-Ukraine-crisis-is-in-fact-a-Russia-U-S-missile-crisis-174HCAj2sgg\/index.html\">provoked<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/oneworld.press\/?module=articles&amp;action=view&amp;id=2436\">missile<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/oneworld.press\/?module=articles&amp;action=view&amp;id=2445\">crisis<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/oneworld.press\/?module=articles&amp;action=view&amp;id=2425\">in<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/oneworld.press\/?module=articles&amp;action=view&amp;id=2450\">Europe<\/a>.
