If Israel is sending away weapons, it obviously does not need new ones from US.

[-] DarkMessiah@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

You see, and then they go and do shit like that.

Why can’t the villains just be moustache-twirlingly evil and the heroes be radiantly pure, like in the old Saturday morning cartoons? It would make the works a whole lot easier.

Puts on tinfoil hat
What if Israel kept this up their sleeve until they needed a good-favor global support boost in their own war.

Pretty sure thats how all politics work - everyone looking to pull a fast one over everyone else.

My thoughts exactly.

They could have actually helped before.

This is just cover

[-] Billy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

they helped, just not with weapons.
as russian forces are present in syria.

but now that israel is already at war with russian-iranian proxies / allies, there's no need to hold back anymore.

What help did they give Ukraine other than some helmets?

[-] Billy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

helmets, flak jackets, humanitarian aid, field hospitals manned by israeli medical personnel (which is mentioned in the article), generators for hospitals and refugee assistance centers.

and i didn't remember that, but apparently there were already israeli anti-drone systems approved for export to ukraine last year. not sure if these are the same ones though.

Well at least the dirty rat fuck, child slaughtering, baby starving, innocent killing bastards did something right for once

This technology has been battle-tested, utilized by Israel to secure its borders with Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria

I know it's not the same but I can't help remembering battle testing new weapons on the captive population of Gaza (aka experimenting) is an old Israeli arms company selling point.

Israel is well known for its pinkwashing and greenwashing.

Is there already a term like war-washing or we're gonna have to invent one to describe what Israel is doing?
