I believe Russia has condemned Israel everytime they've fought back along with the rest of Europe. But I'm not certain. Anyone have a link with info?
I DO know that the Russians were on the Serbs side in the in that conflict. They were always trying to stop Clinton from bombing them. (the media didn't make much of it. Russia isn't as cool as France.)

Russians and the Serbs have always had a tight relationship. The Russians have always felt a strong connection because they are both Slavic and Russians tend to think of attacks on the Serbs as an attack on all Slavs. This goes back before WWI when Russia declared war on Austria-Hungary and Germany because they had declared war on Serbia.
I thought Russia has always been with the rest of Europe against Israel but all I know is that they haven't voted against nor abstained from UN resolutions condemning Israel.

tmedina: umm... the Soviets were our ally in WW2 and since they returned to being just Russia, they've been more or less friendly to us.

My earlier comment has become more ironic in the hours since two buses were blown up in Israel.

Well considering my comments were made in ignorance of it... Either way I can't comprehend how countries that are supposedly civilized take the position that they do.
