Some 4% of Israelis are Jews of Russian origin and it used to be said (perhaps still is, for ought I know) that the internal language of Mossad was Russian. Nearly all the Russian oligarchs now have Israeli citizenship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(cf Australia where it's very easy to become an Oz citizen if you're both Chinese and rich.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if they had deported some or all of them to Russia. It would have instantly become big news internationally and Thailand would have looked very very bad as far as a safe and friendly place for foreigners. Russia already looks very very bad so no worries there. Edited February 2 by Jingthing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtrnuno41 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Send them to EU, they are collecting lots of foreign people, even not having space, houses. Maybe they can do some gigs in refugee centers. "Refugees" by the thousands, so 6 members of rock group? Come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinsdale Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Much more behind this than we are being told. US was involved in getting them out safely. Russia applied pressure to get them back. This had nothing to do about working without a work permit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look back at what I posted. The US Embassy assisted them getting to Israel along with the Israeli Embassy. I did not say the US was "behind this". This is in the media.

As antiwar activists they are considered enemies of the Russian state, subject to 10 years in prison (or being sent to the front in a meat sacrifice). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And regardless, Israel is not a war zone - the war is mostly confined to border areas. One of them lives in Spain, another in Australia. One would have thought these things not unimaginable considering it's an expat oriented forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
