the easternization of Isreal
Israel has long been regarded as a western nation even though its geography as well as ethnic, cultural and religious composition does not fit the norm, but when the behavior of its leaders is more in line with that of the eastern communist bloc from where most of its current immigrant population came, one must ask the question: is Israeli with us or against us?
“Russian Jews – who lived in Marxist ‘heaven’ since the 1917 Russian Revolution – were prominent in the early settlement of Israel (think Golda Meir),” explains Arielle, “and after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 there was a massive exodus from Russia which provided a stellar leadership opportunity for an earlier Russian migrant, Avigdor Lieberman (the current Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister in Netanyahu’s coalition government).”
“The Russians refuse to assimilate – they run their own Russian-language newspapers, television stations, magazines, schools, bars and restaurants and choose to live separately from the established Israeli communities,” says Arielle. “They are Russians first and foremost; and their close tie with their motherland allows officials from the former Soviet Union (who once supplied arms to the Arab states, conducted a cold war with the west and denied Jewish citizens the right to emigrate) to be welcomed in Russian immigrant dominated Israel as friends, allies and business partners.”
