    I still don’t see how transfer of Patriot systems from Israel is akin to taking a poisoned gift. In context of the idiom, this doesn’t make sense.

          Essentially, Israel is trying to whitewash its genocide by supporting the “good guys” in the most PR-friendly war currently being waged.

          It says little about Ukraine - taking the weapons doesn’t mean they support Israel (although bootlicking may be expected for the Israeli “gesture” to continue) - in fact, it means one less armament actively genociding, which is a plus.

          It says little about Israel - they’re a genocidal state with or without the move.

          But it says a lot about the public conscience - Israel feels threathened by it to the point that sending arms to Ukraine as a diversionary tactic to shift the media focus is a thing that they’re doing. In other words, people are starting to open their eyes and see Israeli “liberatory warfare” for what it is - a genocide.

          Israel is trying to whitewash their genocide by “supporting” the conflict that would bring in the most good PR, which happens to be the Russia-Ukraine war.

          It says little about Ukraine, a bit more about Israel, but a lot about public conscience - people are rising up against Israeli genocide, and Israel feels the need to do something to shift the media focus.

            [1] is not valid. Anyone with modicum of critical thinking can understand the context. [2] Do you have any sources (preferably in Ukrainian) on this? You’re implying Zelenskyy is being manipulated, this is a big claim, what is the context? Zelenskyy was planning to call Netanyahu a dictator in a public manner before they provided the Patriot system? And now he changed his mind? [3] Conspiracy theory that doesn’t even make logical sense. What are they planning to blackmail Zelenskyy for?

            And what does what your wrote have to do with “Ukrainians supporting their war crimes”. Your points are just random, extremely low effort musings and conspiracy theories.
