(Ha'aretz) Dahlia Scheindlin - Recent surveys about the war in Ukraine show that Israelis overwhelmingly blame Russia.

The Israel Democracy Institute found that just 27% of Arab citizens of Israel blamed Putin, while nearly 1/4 agreed that "NATO countries and the U.S." were responsible for the war.
