Israel's Participation in the Events in Ukraine - Israel Is Already a Part of NATO - Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO): Announces NATO Is a Terrorist Organization

Editor's note: What would be worth discovering is Israel's influence over NATO with Israel having an office in NATO headquarters (spying on NATO?) in Brussels since 2016? In public, there has been a lot of discussion on NATO and Israel relations and the possibility of Israel becoming a NATO member, but what is not discussed are NATO countries like Italy buying weapon systems from Israel. Would the circumstances in Ukraine explain Israel's drawing closer to NATO by offering technological innovation and intelligence-gathering capabilities to NATO? Israel is already considered a "non-NATO ally" and was the first participant country to sign a security agreement with NATO in 2001 (likely related to the events leading up to September 11, 2001). Another thing, there is criticism in Israel of Ukraine's Azov Battalion being neo-Nazis who give the Nazi salute and carry around SS and swastika paraphernalia. But what exactly is going on here when one of the founders of the Azov Battalion is Rabbi Nathan Hazin? Consider for a sobering moment there are thousands of white Europeans being slaughtered in Ukraine. Without being an official NATO member, Israel sure has been sending a lot weapons to Ukraine. When the killing and destruction is over in Ukraine, will whatever is left be turned over to Israel?

Zelensky and NATO plan to transform post-war Ukraine into 'a big Israel'

BY ALEXANDER RUBINSTEIN | SEPTEMBER 17, 2022
The NATO-backed Atlantic Council has proposed apartheid Israel as a blueprint for a hyper-militarized Ukraine. The paper was authored by Obama's former ambassador to Tel Aviv, now an Israeli spy-tech consultant.

Just forty days after Russia's military campaign began inside Ukraine, Ukrainian President Vlodymyr Zelensky told reporters that in the future, his country would be like "a big Israel." The following day, one of Israel's top promoters in the Democratic Party published an op-ed in NATO's official think tank exploring how that could be executed.

Zelensky made his prediction while speaking to reporters on April 5, rejecting the idea that Kiev would remain neutral in future conflicts between NATO, the European Union, and Russia. According to Zelensky, his country would never be like Switzerland (which coincidentally abandoned its Napoleon-era tradition of nonalignment by sanctioning Russia in response to its February invasion).

"We cannot talk about 'Switzerland of the future,'" the president informed reporters. "But we will definitely become a 'big Israel' with its own face."

For those wondering what a "big Israel" would actually look like, Zelensky quickly elaborated on his disturbing prophecy.

"We will not be surprised that we will have representatives of the Armed Forces or the National Guard in all institutions, supermarkets, cinemas — there will be people with weapons," Ukraine's president said, predicting a bleak existence for his citizens. "I am sure that our security issue will be number one in the next ten years."

Though the web post was based on comments Zelensky made to reporters, the president’s office mysteriously excised a section of his remarks in which he declared a future Ukraine would not be "absolutely liberal, European." Instead, along with his vision for a heavily militarized Ukraine, the post emphasized Zelensky's readiness to join NATO "already tomorrow."

For NATO's power brokers, however, Zelensky's intimated willingness to join the military alliance was perhaps the least remarkable aspect of his statement. Instead, within 48 hours of his comments, the Atlantic Council – NATO’s semi-official think tank in Washington – published a road map" exploring how to transform Ukraine into "a big Israel."

Authored by Daniel B. Shapiro, the former US Ambassador to Israel under President Barack Obama, the document posited that "the two embattled countries share more than you might think."

Just as former US Secretary of State Alexander Haig presented Israel as "the largest American air craft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk," Shapiro put forward a vision of Ukraine as a hyper-militarized NATO bastion whose national identity would be defined by its ability to project US power against Russia.

Israel and Ukraine: "old, loyal friends"

Despite Israel's reluctance to join the Western sanctions campaign against Russia, it has aided Ukraine's militarily, sending two large shipments of defensive equipment since February of this year. In the past, however, Israel's support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia has been more than defensive.

Back in 2018, over 40 human rights activists petitioned the Israeli High Court of Justice to stop arming Ukraine after members of the neo-nazi Azov Battalion were caught brandishing Israeli-made weapons. As Israel's Ha'aretz noted at the time, "The militia's [Azov] emblems are well-known national socialist ones. Its members use the Nazi salute and carry swastikas and SS insignias… One militia member said in an interview that he was fighting Russia since Putin was a Jew."

Zelensky, a Ukrainian Jew, was apparently unperturbed by Israel's alleged arming of Nazi elements in his country. One year after his 2019 election, he made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to launch what he called a "prayer for peace," and to attend an event entitled "Remember the Holocaust to fight anti-Semitism." Ahead of the junket, Zelensky heaped praise on Israeli society, remarking in an interview that "Jews managed to build a country, to elevate it, without anything except people and brains," and that Israelis are a "united, strong, powerful people. And despite being under the threat of war, they enjoy every day. I've seen it."

"There are many countries in the world that can protect themselves, but Israel, such a small country, can not only protect itself, but facing external threats, can respond," Zelensky said, adding that he had visited the country "many times."

In a birthday message later that year to Israel's then-Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, Zelensky commented that "old loyal friends are more valuable than ever. Ukraine and Israel have a friendship such as this."

Since the escalation in fighting between Kiev and Moscow in February of this year, dozens of Israelis have traveled to Ukraine to join the country's Foreign Legion.


In August, the Canadian government-backed Kyiv Independent published an investigation which accused Ukraine's Foreign Legion of stealing arms and goods as well as carrying out sexual harassment and other forms of abuse.

Meanwhile, Zelensky has continually heaped praise on Tel Aviv, especially after an Israeli Supreme Court decision to lift restrictions on citizens traveling to Ukraine.
