    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.
