In reply to the discussion: As missiles strike Ukraine, Israel won't sell its vaunted air defense [View all]SunSeeker
(57,047 posts)Around 20,500 Jews out of an estimated 165,000 Russian Jews have moved to Israel since March. That leaves only 144,500 Jews in Russia. Seems to me if Israel wants to save the most Jews, including President Zelensky, it would give the Iron Dome defense system to Ukraine. Nobody is bombing the Jews in Russia.
Ukraine can't get the Iron Dome from any other country. It is a specialized system designed by Israel (using hundreds of millions of dollars from the US for the project) specifically to intercept and destroy missiles fired at populated areas. Russia is increasingly reliant on missiles to menace Ukraines civilian population, as the Russian army falls apart. The Iron Dome is particularly needed at this stage of the war. https://thehill.com/policy/defense/3681452-putins-attacks-expose-need-for-iron-dome-in-ukraine-former-nato-commander/
