I came to Israel before you, and I can assure the ukranian fellow that many jews from Russia indeed have deep ties to Russia, despise those who came to power in Ukraine and especially their ideology, and have memory longer than the "long memory" of the ukrainians as to ukranian murderers throughout history.
Literally, LOL.
>Also there is significant amount of Russian agents in Israeli political landscape (basically, all Russian speaking politicians).
You seems to conflate russian speaking with russians. I lived in Israel for 25 years, and now I tried to recalled how many people from Russia proper I know, and I cant even reach count of 5. Besides this, russian speaking politicians (all 3 or 5 of them ? most if not all of them not from russia) have no weight in Israel politics, especially in such a strategic decisions. As good example will be a strategic decision of smaller degree, when Gazprom wanted to get into partnerships in gas drilling companies in Israel but was booted out.
