COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY M K BHADRAKUMAR IN RUSSIA INSIDER
“Russia Keeps Israel’s Netanyahu at an Arm's Length
“Moscow is signaling there can be no 'business as usual' after the shot down of Russia's Il-20 plane over Syria with the loss of 15 crew”
On the general topic of Israel and its relations with Russia, I wonder whether other readers have noted the changed treatment of Israel by the Sputnik news site?
Now, almost a day doesn't go by that there is not a story about Israel. Sometimes two.
This includes some pretty unimportant stuff, not just matters of consequence.
It is a quite noticeable change, and it makes me wonder just what is going on.
Deliberate instructions to play Israel up more, including just human-interest stories? If so, why?
This is, after all, a very tiny country with a population only somewhat more than one-one thousandth of the globe.
So, just in terms of numbers, it is strange to have daily stories and often small stories.
