Kyiv, March 29, 2016.<\/strong> <\/em>Since the very beginning of the Crimea conflict it was important for Russia to get the support of Israel and of the international Jewish community. To achieve this, the Russian Federation has been using various provocations, said Shimon Briman, Israel editor at the U.S. newspaper Forum Daily. \u201cRussia was constantly using various made-up stories on alleged Ukrainian fascists who came to the power in Kyiv. That\u2019s why Moscow was very much hoping that Israel would \u201cbite the bait\u201d. Because it comes unsaid that the Jewish people and Israel will always be against fascism,\u201d said Shimon Briman. He said that a part of the propaganda around Crimean events was about introducing untrue reports on alleged upcoming pogroms of Jewish shrines. \u201cThere is a well-known fact that at night on February 28, 2014 a profanation of a synagogue in Simferopol occurred with swastika and a phrase \u201cDeath to Yids\u201d. What is interesting this did not happen over all previous 23 years of Ukraine\u2019s independence. It happened exactly the same night when the so-called Russian \u201cgreen men\u201d landed, such a strange coincidence,\u201d he recalls. It was accompanied with materials published in all the Russian media that pogroms are prepared.<\/p>\n

It was a planned action, the editor says, Russia\u2019s Committee for State Security (KGB) is experienced in provocations with the use of the \u201cJewish card\u201d since 1959. [KGB stands for Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti, the main security agency at the Soviet Union \u2013 UCMC note.] Shimon Briman said that in 1959-1960 in particular a special KGB unit was profaning the Jewish shrines in Germany so that the media would start talking about the outbreak of anti-Semitism and Neo-Nazism in Germany. \u201cThe mechanics is the following: a provocation is instigated, for example profanation of a synagogue. Jews will immediately raise the alarm worldwide and will surely blame it on authorities, in this case Ukrainian authorities,\u201d said the Israel editor of Forum Daily.<\/p>\n

Russia is emphasizing the Jewish people that constitute only 0.1 percent of Crimea\u2019s population because in Western Europe and in the U.S. the Jewish community is very influential. \u201cThere are six million Jews in America and they are very influential in the media, in biggest newspapers, on TV channels and in the American politics. And the following principle applies here: if we violate a Jewish object in Crimea, tomorrow there will be a story in the New York Times [\u2026],\u201d the editor explains.<\/p>\n

According to Briman Vladimir Putin is constantly emphasizing that \u201cone and a half million of our Russian-speakers\u201d live in Israel and official Russian politics was constantly trying to get Israel on its side. At the same time official Israel has formed its attitude to the Crimea conflict over the two years, the editor says. \u201cIt is usually said that Israel is neutral in the Crimea conflict between Russia and Ukraine. It is so and it is not [\u2026]. It was clearly stated several times that Israel stands for restoration of Ukraine\u2019s territorial integrity and does not recognize Crimea\u2019s annexation by Russia. It does not look like neutrality,\u201d explains Briman emphasizing that Israel does not recognize seizure of Crimea. It is just that the official Israel is \u201cnot fueling\u201d the subject and says that it is not their own conflict and tries to maintain equally friendly relations with both Russia and Ukraine. The editor adds that Israel stopped supplying drones to Russia but never commenced supplying them to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Another fact in support of Ukraine that he named was that there was an honorary consul of Israel in Crimea before the annexation. After he supported the annexation Israel\u2019s consulate in Crimea was closed. \u201cA new Honorary Consulate of Israel was opened in Lviv and in the western Ukraine. It was a gesture,\u201d underlined Briman. Besides the editor pointed at the fact that no serious businesses are now present in Crimea. \u201cAlthough Israel is not saying this aloud, the peninsula is completely blockaded by the Israeli businesses \u2013 there is no investment, no technologies are being shared,\u201d he added. At the same time Israel is developing the program to introduce the technology of melioration and irrigation in Ukraine\u2019s southern regions including Kherson, Mykolayiv and Zaporizhzhia regions. And it is directly linked to Crimea, says Briman. In case agriculture flourishes on the mainland in contrast to what happens in Crimea, the difference will be visible.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn general despite being neutral by essence Israel\u2019s official position is largely directed at supporting and helping develop Ukraine in practice,\u201d summarized Shimon Briman.<\/p>\n
