| Israel reportedly leaning toward sending defensive military aid to Ukraine |
| 2022-05-03 |
| [Times of Israel] First couple of paragraphs Israeli officials are set to discuss expanding aid to Ukraine, including supplies of defensive military equipment so far withheld by Jerusalem, according to a report Tuesday. Since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, Israel has rejected requests from Kyiv and the West for military equipment such as anti-missile batteries, and only recently agreed to send helmets and flak jackets to civilian rescue and medical forces, part of a policy meant to preserve ties with Russia. Instead it has sent some 100 tons of humanitarian aid and set up a field hospital in western Ukraine for six weeks. However, Israeli officials are now expected to support sending Ukraine military aid, albeit at symbolic levels, and still with hopes of keeping its relationship with Russia intact, Haaretz reported Tuesday, citing officials with knowledge of the matter. |

| #2 It won’t do any good, dear boy. In the end a science-technology culture beats an inshallah culture. Something about actually aiming rather than randomly shooting off, and then maintaining the weapons properly between uses. The proof is that the Gazans claim to have some of those, and despite their best efforts, it’s done them no good at all. |
