I will tell of the kindnesses of the Lord, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the Lord has done for us - yes, the many good things he has done for Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses. He said, "Surely they are my people, children who will be true to me"; and so he became their Savior. In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old. Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them.

Most of Europe is virulently anti-semitic - the pogroms inquisitions & holocaust that killed millions of Jews were all carried out in Europe.

"My God, this woman is huge, oh no she is going to handshake me, ahh the oil on her hand, blah"

He is for the Arabs, Russia is not just Ahft Ahft who had only money to be given weapons to Syria that it will stop them from multiplying

Instead, of looking all the time towards the US, Israel needs to take significant steps towards other superpowers, such as Russia, China, and the EU. Despite of these partners' current pro-Arab stand in many issues, Israel must takes the first step, in order to survive for a longer term. Russian Israelis should serve as a bridge between Israel and Russia, gestures towards Russian leadership are important, such as the inauguration of WW2 Memorial in Netanya. Unfortunately, in tsarist Russia anti-Semitism was terrible and Jews were treated badly. Today, the situation is different. There is a flourishing Jewish life in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and in many other cities. Of course, neo-nazis - similarly to the EU - may sometimes disturb the pictures, but Putin's Russia does not tolerated racism (see at the famous 2011 anti-nazi trial when racist murderers were sentenced to life-long jail). This Russia, with a popular and strong Putin, is quite good for Israel - but first there are certain gestures needed, including a balanced stand on US-Israeli and Russian-Israeli relationships. Israel is NOT the colony of America, but first Israel needs to ACT and make this believe by others!

I thing main message to Israel form Putin was: " Just dont push your luck"!!! Enough is enough!!!

Can you imagine two million people back in russia after living here like human's they can blown a revolution

his speech that is not anti Israel, for bringing people that wanted to improve Israel's economy, for not closing door to a better Israel-Russia economic and diplomatic relationship. and most important of all, for handshaking the PM's wife.

Once Germany was our executioner, today she supports us with subs. Once the US was our best ally, today Obama and his coterie are our adversary. Turkey turned from friend to foe. USSR was our enemy, today Russia is not so but the jury is still out... Don't get ossified in your old reflexes: never ever changes in the world occurred at such a fast pace than now. Keep your eyes open to the world, think and ruminate on the events.

Israel's Samson Option (book) was intended as a last resort against Russia and its Arab allies, if Israel were headed towards a defeat in prior wars. Israel knew it could handle Egypt/Syria, even though supplied with Soviet arms. Egypt had been hurt in the Yemen. Now, Israel, while not fearing Russian involvement directly, sees itself surrounded by increasing Arab/Muslim armies and might. Egypt-Turkey-Iran-Lebanon-Hamas-Hez-Islamic Jihad. But, its nuke arsenal is over 400, on 5 platforms (see Wikipedia), F15s, F16s, Dolphin Subs, artillery, Jericho Missiles, Phantom 2,000, some coated with lithium/cobalt.It also has 3 defensive missiles. It had none of these in 67, but a few nukes. Russia knows Israels might, and is,like Obama, playing it cautious...giving encouragement to the Jewish state, while arming Syria, Iran, providing defensive weapons to Syria, and who knows, maybe supplying Egypt now, with credits? Russia built the Natanz reactor and still supports Assad. All are simply wasting each others time with nonsensical political rhetoric. The bottom line: will Russia stop supporting Syria and Iran? Will they not impede a strike against Iran's nukes? All else is sophistry.

the then ussr was the first country to regonise isreal as a indepentant country in 1948 ,where did it go wrong

russia,back the birth of israel,many russians live in israe, putin came extended his hand of support for israel,for the world to see,this man is sincere,and wants isreal to live in peace,and go forward in the advancement of technology with russia for mankind.

You're grossly overestimating your own influence and importance, without US support you're nothing but a s**** little country like the French Ambassador to the United Kingdom described once few years back - A good co-existance record with your neighbors is the key to survival ,...

doesn't mean it's not in the offing.

You said: "And remember that Mother Russia is the ONLY one that voted yes for the birth of the State of Israel." That is totally false and absurd. There were 33 nations including the US who voted yes for the birth of the State of Israel. The US President was the first to recognize the New State of Israel. The US is a strong ally of Israel. Unfortunately we now have a president who seems to favor Islam but he will not be president much longer.

More of your absurd lies. Russia did NOT defeat the nazis. The United States and GB defeated the nazis at Normandy. The US defeated Japan. Your revisionist history cannot be proven. I support you in your love for Israel and your anger and hatred of Iran. I feel the same in those regards, however, trying to change history is evil.

That helped create the lying,thieving monster Arafat,their support for his terrorism and his desire to destroy Israel, in stages if need be. Russia too has an Islamist problem a nuclear armed Iran exploiting Islamic unrest is not in the interests of Russia or China.

al base in Haifa

Another lier and double faced he supports Iran and Syria, he stole the elections in his own country. How can we imagine him interested in peace for Israel. he should not even visit Israel!

United States and GB defeated the nazis because 3/4 of Germans were busy on eastern front fighting Soviets ,...

Russia is the one that stopped nazi germany. Not USA. USA defeated Japan simply because Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, if Japan did not do it, USA would not get involved. Most of Europe appease Hitler. It is a fact. I am not trying to change history. there are many proofs.

they took iraq within 10 days... it was a pure massacre ... pure carnage...
