For the first time since the establishment of the State of Israel, a Russian warship docked at the port city of Haifa earlier this month to help celebrate the anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany. However, there was another even more important, even historical, reason for the visit – with the looming collapse of the Assad regime in Syria, Russia is on the lookout for new Middle East alliances.
*enemy in this case refers to the USA
Israel Today Russia has long maintained a large naval base in Tartus, the second largest port city in Syria. But with Syria’s ongoing civil war likely to end in that country descending into factional warfare and chaos, Russia is concerned for its interests in the region.
Recent reports are that Moscow is searching for a new Mediterranean seaport to maintain strategic balance in the region. Russian delegations have reportedly examined Egypt and Algeria. But Israeli officials say that the Arab Spring has changed Russia’s view of Israel, and Moscow now understands that in this volatile and unpredictable region, the Jewish state is an anchor of stability.
“There are things on which we do not agree with Russia, but there is a general understanding that we defend the same principles of democracy and security,” said one official in Jerusalem. “They share our concern over Islamic fundamentalism taking over the Middle East. The Russians realize now more than ever that you can rely on Israel.”
The Russians very loudly publicized the Azov’s visit to Israel, and their decision to mark the victory over the Nazis together with Jewish veterans. “Russia is proud of its connection to this historical event, and wants to remind everyone that we fought on the right side,” read a statement from the Russians. “There is something to be understood from this for the contemporary Middle East. Where we decided to make anchor is a clear statement, both to the Israelis and the entire region.”
There was a general understanding that the Azov’s visit was not a one-time event, and that other Russian warships would come calling in the near future. Israelis officials did not deny that they are open to further cooperation with Moscow.
Sorry to say, but Rabbi wrong like everyone else is missing. The Bible says that Satan will deceive many of the chosen.
Gog and Magog see why is not Russia. I have a thousand reasons Biblical and politicians to say that Gog and Magog have nothing to do with Russia. NOT IN RUSSIA, but in TURKEY, take a look at why:
As it is written Genesis 3: 15 – Enemies are those who hate and persecute kill Israel since the start of Israel, are the seven empires. The empire of Egypt, Assyrian,
Babylonian, Persian, Greek; and lastly, the two empires, the Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire (Islam) They hate the Jews and Christians, because Israel is the Woman, The Messiah
(Jesus Christ) is the Women’s seed, and Christians are the descendants of the Messiah Psalms 89: 26 to 37. (The God of the Christians is the same God of the Jews The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.).
So all the nations of the 7 empires have always tried to destroy Israel, and finally the Roman Empire, and all the Muslim nations of Islam, have always been enemies
Israel and the Christians, and often plagues attack and kill both Jews and Christians. This is incredible, most Christians and Jews do not know anything about it, but the
both enemy of the Jews, like Christians know very well, it all, is that they want esterminar, both Jews and Christians on the planet. Think about it …
Russia is no longer communist from 1985 to 1991. And Russia is currently the nation with laws the laws of more forceful government with God’s laws and values
Biblical Christians. Obs. To search on Vladimir Putin is Christian and is defending the Antichrist ISIS Christians. And the laws of their government, is based on Biblical values, so you may not be Gog and Magog.
NOTE: Obama, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia Create ISIS Islamic State to exterminate Christians, and the Syrian rebels groups to take power Invade Syria and Israel from Syria as it is written in the Bible. The invasion will be coming by Syria. Gog is the prince of the power in the region of Turkey where Meshech and Tubal that is the land of Magog. (See authentic old maps) The Turkish Ottoman Empire Islam has managed to Jerusalem from 1517-1917, and want to regain control again, now the Empire Neo-Ottoman. For this reason, the President of Turkey, and his Prime Minister in election campaigns in the month 05/2014, called on all Muslim countries to invade and liberate Israel. Just look at international news. Obama is a Trojan horse that Islam has put the United States to overthrow US and destroy Christians creating helping to create and fund R ISIS. See International News & VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE with keywords. OBAMA CHASE, CHRISTIANS, TERRORISTS, REBELS, ISLAM, ISIS, I ISLAMIC STATE, ATHEIST, HOLOCAUST, ISRAEL. Everyone is already aware.
Russia and Israel begin joint training exercise to secure flights over Syria https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/europe/21717-russia-and-israel-start-joint-training-exercise-for-safe-flights-over-syria
Docks Russian warships in Israel for the first time http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/23846/Default.aspx?utm_source=news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=781&utm_content=original
Two flags are represented… One that is the largest country in the world, and the other one of the tiniest…
Israel has no choice. America betrayed Israel, just look at Obama’s disgusted face every time he meets Israeli PM. He barely shakes his hands, avoids meeting his eyes and turns his body away even in a sitting pose. Sensible and visible animosity. And look at these two doves. Firm handshake, they look comfortable and look straight into each other’s eyes. With Israel celebrating the victory over Nazi Germany Russian style, honoring WWII vets as Israeli heroes, erecting monuments to honor fallen in this war heroes, Russians appreciated these efforts as well as free, no visa access to Israel granted to Russians recently, which increased the flow of Russian tourists to Israel. So, these two are drifting towards each other while the US does everything possible to push Israel away.
angelito, I think you’re exactly right.
Soon we’ll be hearing about new Axis of Evil (Israel & Russia) against the light of Arab Spring and “young Middle East Democracies” led by newly anointed Axis of Light – Saudi Arabia, Muslim Brotherhood, Livia, Syrian rebels and Dhimmi West.
I won’t be standing w/the corrupt, traitorous, United States of Obamastan if that comes to pass…
The Bear and the Eagle will unite to destroy its common enemy the Crescent Moon.
Remember NATO. Is it possible that Israel is reacting to recent hostility from both the US and Turkey by being more open to relationships with Russia? Russia clearly would love to have access to another Mediterranean port. Also, what about all that natural gas under the eastern Med? Possible business partnership?
As much as one would like to be totally delusional, and think Russia could ever be trusted as a “true and loyal ally”, they, like their former communist past, should never be trusted. You can dye a leopard but the spots will always remain.
Doing business with Russia is NO DIFFERENT that doing business with the Saudis. Watch your back!
Are the current crop of democraptic islamonazi collaborators any more trustworthy? For that matter how about the current crop of Republican collaborators (Christie in N.J., Perry in Texas, Grover Norquist among others).
No. None of those, with their Utopian view, can ever be trusted. They don’t live in the same world as realists and, therefore, cannot and should not be allowed to make decisions that the rest of us have to live by.
It is what it is and the Russians will always be Russians. History has taught us that. And it’s not the Russian people, it’s their government. Like most others’, it’s the governments that set the standards that the rest of us are left to suffer for.
Dragon, I did not know the Saudi Prince was amused by it….interesting.
Raymond, I do understand what you are saying.
Maybe(?)…”The Enemy of the Enemy is My Friend”….this time.
We’ll have to hide ‘n’ watch
If these talks with the Russians amount to anything substantial, then you can bet that Pollard will be dying in prison.
Russia is no friend of Israel.
And the current US presidential regime is?
Putin defends Russia. Obama defends Islam.
It’s as simple as that.
The Russians with the exception of caucasus muslims are very peace loving! when I was in Russia, some of them were wannabe Americans wearing western wear. Russia is not the enemy. Islam is the enemy of both Russia and America. It’s time Russia and America join forces and defeat this evil empire called islam.
“US disowns Israel over Iran strike?” And for this we, as a nation, are cursed! And as a nation, we will be gathered in the “Valley of Jehosephat and there be judged for how we have treated…Israel.” So, it was said, so, let it be done!
It is, therefore, a mitzvot(obligation) for every Christian, individually and corporately, to bless Israel with our prayers, our voices and our offerings! Do this or be judged for not doing it!
China also is developing good relations with Israel. We live in interesting times..
Israel has technology that China wants (mostly to copy and knock out cheaper, like the Japs did). Plus, they want an ‘in’ on Israel’s offshore gas supply development.
Anyone who supports Israel and helps fight Islam, one can call a friend. Bonnie any chance of good news coverage of Pamela Geller’s Canadian speech?
LK, yes, I have a great piece to post later.
A warning to Israel: Beware of whom you choose as your friends. To sleep with dogs is to awaken with fleas.
To refer back to Biblical prophecy, it was written that the “kingdom of the north would move south toward Jerusalem” (I can’t remember the exact quote). Further proof the Bible is right.
The Russian Government is clearly more particular in it’s choice of friends than the British or US Governments are these days.
Reallllly? I wish I could see that video!
Kinda strange, isn’t it…It was the Saudi(s) who gave him the $$ to go to Harvard, etc.
Hmmm.
Up, here you go. Obama is 3rd from left in the receiving line next to King. Watch him get snubbed more than once.
http://youtu.be/t439ruGCqRw
First my jaw dropped because they were so obvious! THEY DO NOT RESPECT OR LIKE THAT MAN!
Then I just broke out in laughter!
Dhimmis don’t undertsand they’re next on the chopping block…
but he bowed to the Saudi king who was very amused i understand .
love the music that goes with the video “I’m a Loser” sung by john lennon

The old USSR (and, before that, Czarist Russia) was infamous for its very pronounced anti-semitism; however, Jews have lived in the “Empire” for generations, and there’s still a natural affinity for Jews and Russians, who, by & large, often shared a hardscrabble life.
Personally, with our own Muzzie-in-Chief souring the once vibrant USA-Israeli relationship, it’s only natural that Israel would welcome another strong – and, in many ways, more cooperativ partner! Besides, there are now tens/hundreds of thousands of former Soviet Jews now living in Israel; and although they may still harbor great desdain for the Kremlin leaders, it’s an adversary with which they’re VERY familiar and who, in the current circumstances, they might, indeed, welcome a strong & powerful ally to help “run interference against the world of pisslam…”
Joy, all true. I hear that the Gulf States are also somewhat secretly allied with Israel because of the Iranian threat and creeping Muslim Brotherhood’s mission to remove all the Mid East dictators and Kings, and replace them with sharia leaders.
not surprised about this at all.
But can anyone trust the Gulf States? Israel might be an tacit ally of convenience, but there’s no muslime leader in his right mind who would publicly do anything except condemn the zionist entity and Jews. Sadat was murdered for merely signing a peace treaty with Israel.
DEf, of course it is never made public. You know who pressured Israel to attack Hamas in 2009? PA’s Abbas and Egypt’s Mubarak.
They do NOT like Obama at all in Russia:
You’ll love this:
up, yes, I remember that. He was snubbed in Saudi Arabia the same way.
nice to know that Russians wouldn’t shake hands with Obozo.
The Entire World has a COMMON ENEMY….The ever present Violence of Islam.
You didn’t finish your sentence. It should read “The ever present violence of Islam and the ever presence of Obama.
VERY GOOD POINT! MY OOPS. lol
i think that is a more relevant point.
Russia sees Islam in a true light, just as Israel does and unlike the west.
