Allowing Ukraine to buy proven Israeli drones would be pretty cool. But Israel doesn’t want to upset Russia

Israel also doesn't want one of their drones to be downed, and examined by Russia's ally, Iran.

I don’t think Israel will ever sell advanced weaponry to Ukraine. Economically, Israel doesn’t like to take sides in main events world stage that doesn’t directly involve it.

I mean Israel has no issue selling weapons to literally anyone else. Netanyahu just wants to maintain a relationship with Russia

Netanyahu became PM a month ago. The previous PM Lapid which he is more pro Ukraine, didn’t sell weaponry. I’m not talking about the moral arguments (that they are in favor selling to Ukraine) I’m speaking that Israel prefers to sell weapons to 3rd world countries that nobody has interest what happens there or countries that the chances to be involved in a major war is low.

Israel sells to NATO members as well as countries in active disputes so I don’t understand this argument

Then I ill explained that. My point is that while Israel sell weapons to anyone, expect when a major conflict like Ukraine Russia war it prefers to stay out of it. Its a business move to keep its gold standard as superior technology, so they won’t have to really test their stuff.

For you it’s nonsense but for Israel it’s sweet cash

So if Italy goes to war with Russia, Israel will cease to supply them weapons? Or worse, ban them from using the weapons they already bought in order to maintain its “gold standard”? Why would anyone purchase Israeli weapons under this absurd logic. The real answer is that Israel has decided helping Ukraine isn’t worth antagonizing Russia

It's not that Israel doesn't want to upset Russia. It's simply that Israel wants access to Syrian air space which Russia owns.

Explain why Israel should give up their security to give Ukraine weapons.

I love these reddit virtue signaling monkeys. They’re saying these things from the comfort of their own home, on their toilet in the good ol Ohio USA. And you get gaslighted as a Russian bot if you say otherwise.

Meanwhile the groups that are pressured to do these things don’t benefit personally and actually compromises their security in a dangerous part of the world.

People need to get their head out their ass.

What security are they giving up? Russia is allied with Syria, Israel’s enemy. Israel doesn’t need Russian assurances to protect itself against Syria
