And Iran has been supplying drones for Russia so they can do the same in Ukraine.

They are both shit countries committing genocide directly or indirectly, they should fight each other to extinction.

Israel has also been supllying drones to Russia. They even demanded Ukraine to surrender to Russia.

This is not to challenge your statement. I find it important to understand that Israel is neither on the side of Ukraine, or on the side of NATO. Israel has no allies, it only has bitches doing its bidding.

Israel is not on the side of NATO

The things I have to read on this website, I swear

In April 2009, Russia purchased its first package of drones from Israel (the Bird Eye-400, eight I-View Mk150 and two Searcher Mk.2 UAVs). The deal was worth $53 million.[231] In a second deal, at the end of 2009, Russia purchased an additional 36 drones from Israel, in a deal worth $100 million.[228]

In October 2010, in a third deal, Russia purchased an additional $400 million of drones from Israel Aerospace Industries. The Israeli drones are to be assembled in Russia.[232] The production of the Russian-Israeli drones began in 2012, and delivery to the Russian military is scheduled for 2014.[228]

In 2015, one of the drones was reportedly shot down by the Ukrainian military near the city of Donetsk, Ukraine.[233]

In September 2015, the Russian Army purchased another $300 million package of drones from Israel, its fourth purchase of Israeli drones.

On 24 February 2022, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid spoke out against the Russian invasion of Ukraine, stating "Russia's attack against Ukraine is a serious violation of international order,"...

Lapid's remarks were criticized by Opposition Leader Benjamin Netanyahu, who urged the Israeli government "to speak less about what they don't need to talk about" on Russia and accused the government of "too many unnecessary expressions and too many false predictions".

Israel declined to co-sponsor a UN Security Council resolution condemning the Russian invasion, leading to an expression of disappointment by the United States.[118] Israel later voted in favour of a UN General Assembly resolution condemning the invasion.[119] At the request of the United States, Israel also pushed the United Arab Emirates to back the resolution.[120]

An unnamed senior Ukrainian official accused Bennett of having "proposed that we surrender", claiming that Bennett urged Zelenskyy to "take the offer" of a peace deal from Putin. This report was subsequently denied by both the Israeli Prime Minister's office and a senior adviser to Zelenskyy.[125]

Following the Bucha massacre, Israeli Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman condemned "war crimes" but declined to condemn Russia specifically, describing "mutual accusations" where "Russia blames Ukraine and Ukraine blames Russia", drawing a rebuke from the Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel.[130] However, Foreign Minister Lapid stated that "Russian forces committed war crimes".[131] Israel subsequently voted for a resolution to suspend Russia from the United Nations Human Rights Council.

in February 2025, Israel joined Russia in voting against a UN General Assembly resolution reaffirming Ukraine's territorial integrity.[189]

In February 2025, Israel lobbied the United States to allow Russia to maintain military bases in Syria, as a counterweight to Turkish influence there.[190]

In March 2025, Russia invited Israel to attend its 2025 Moscow Victory Day Parade, despite excluding most Western nations.[191]

Again, Israel has no allies as it extends no loyalty to anyone. It only has bitches doing its bidding.

Israel's only loyalty is to the United States of America, let's not forget that.

Did @Saleh@feddit.org’s comment bring that claim into context or is it not a fully proper response to your complaint?

(PS: Jewish people are cool, genocide is bad, not tricking you - srs & honest in spite of my username)

A few isolated events of drone purchases aren't enough to make such a claim IMO. E.g.:

https://www.investigate-europe.eu/posts/eu-states-exported-weapons-to-russia

This data from all EU-27 official arms exports registers shows that between 2015 and 2020, at least 10 EU member states have exported a total of €346 million worth of arms to Russia.s. France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Finland, Slovakia and Spain – to different extents – have sold “military equipment” to Russia

So apparently Spain, France or Germany, full members of NATO, aren't Pro-NATO because they did arms deals with Russia at some point in the past 15 years. Not good analysis in my opinion.

Governments != Citizenry.

Both governments should fight each other to extinction, excluding citizens.

Unfortunately, both Israel and Iran have been targeting civilian centers, starting with Israel, which is depressing.
