    Who knew…

    Maybe a certain group waited to pull this off.

    2B is crazy amount, no matter from which part of Israel you want to censor everyone and push your narrative.

      Israeli Arabs have full equal rights in Israel, there is no apartheid.

      Palestinians do not because they are not Israeli citizens. Do Irish citizens have full equal rights to live, work and travel in Britain? No?

      Is that apartheid? 🤡

      Honestly you pro-pallies talk such bollocks.

    We did care about Ukraine. But instead will flush the international rules based order down the toilet and become massive hypocrites on every criticism we had of Russia to allow Israel to do so.

    Why give an invaded nation fighting for its survival any money when it can be used to missle toddlers in the teeth?

      Did you even read the article? It makes it very clear that the proposal came from Abramovic and was immediately rejected by Parliament.

    Does Israel have dirty secrets on everyone? How’s that a valid argument to make at all?

    Should I give it to a victim or a bully? Baffling to be honest

      I’m not saying this applies to Roman, but in regards to how other countries treat Israel I’m repasting my comment here because it answers your question.

      America has sent 300 billion, adjusted for inflation, now to Israel. The first thing America did after voting against a humanitarian ceasefire, very recently, was sign off on another 14.5 billion dollars straight to Israel.

      Here is the current president of the US openly stating that if Israel didn’t exist, the US would [need to] invent it, to protect their interests in the region.

      Here is an UNCTAD study from 2019 on the 177 billion recoverable barrels of oil belonging to Palestine

      Just recently Israel just awarded 6 gas exploration licences.

      This:

      It’s 300 billion adjusted for inflation actually now, in total. The first thing America did after voting against a humanitarian ceasefire was sign off on another 14.5 billon dollars straight to Israel.

      Just reminds me of this btw.

      Anything, anything happening in the world on the scale and level such as what we see with Palestine is a function of fiscal gain.

      War is a means of moving money, amongst other things. America is the world’s foremost economic super power and a defining feature of their economy is their arms industry, the private sector is fully intertwined with the government now. If you’re the biggest arms dealer in the world only one thing is truly critical to business and it isn’t peace.

      “I’m sure innocents are being killed, it’s the cost of waging war.” - Joe Biden on Palestine

      Thing is the deal said the money should go to the victims of the war; not specifically Ukrainian victims. Sure the invaded party are traditional the victims of the invasion in question.

      But I think Roman wants to drag out the whole thing. I don’t think the other Oligarchs are happy if he gives money to any non-separatist Ukrainian. Meanwhile the UK government cannot sanction it if even 1 million pounds of the money goes to grieving Russian mothers. So the money are stuck in limbo because RM’s assets are frozen not seized.

      So I think it’s more a question of political convenience

      It literally says the UK said no. Besides, the israel link is barely a headline and no one knows who proposed it. The article is about how the money could be spent in Ukraine or beyond Ukraine in order to help Ukrainians and why it hasn’t yet.
