I don't honestly care if everyone hates us. Yeah, so? You seem to misunderstood something. Israel sold these weapons to the Serbs simply to make money, nothing more. They don't give much crap about Serbs or Serbia, especially after the US bombed their nation and supported the KLA that committed atrocities against the Serbian civilians in Kosovo. Oh, and the president of Kosovo is willing as far as open an embassy to Jerusalem if they got Israel's approval:Originally Posted by valentinavalley2

As you can clearly see, it's not some Black-and-White issue since Israelis are opportunists, and really, they don't give a shit about the Serbs nor the Albanians.As a leading member of the Non-Aligned Movement, Yugoslavia supported the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) and broke all ties with Israel following the 1967 war. However, after Yugoslavia's dissolution in the 1990s, the newly emerged countries rebranded themselves as Western liberal democracies and adopted pro-Israeli policies on their path towards European Union integration. Kosovo was no exception.
However, Serbia under Slobodan Milosevic followed a different path. While it was the first among ex-Yugoslavian states to open an embassy in Tel Aviv, it has also extended symbolic gestures towards Palestine.
Serbia was the only country in the region to vote in favour of Palestine's admission to the United Nations as a non-member observer in 2012.
In response to the support Serbia gave Palestine on the international arena, the Palestinian Authority (PA) has not only frequently voiced its gratitude, but also declared its opposition to Kosovo's statehood. In January 2000, just months after his regime's brutal campaign against the Kosovo Albanians, the PA invited Milosevic to join the celebrations of the Christian Orthodox Christmas in Bethlehem.
More recently, in July 2019, Palestine's ambassador to Serbia, Mohamed Nabhan, thanked Serbia for its long-standing support and reaffirmed that Palestine would oppose Kosovo's admission to Interpol.
Palestine's opposition to Kosovo's statehood can also be attributed to Palestine's own struggles with recognition. American, Israeli, and European arguments for not recognising Palestine are often based on the rejection of unilateral declaration of statehood, which, in the case of Kosovo, has not been a problem.
His foreign minister, Ariel Sharon, condemned NATO's intervention in Kosovo in 1999. He voiced his opposition to Albanian self-determination using Islamophobic rhetoric, warning "the free world" of dangers of "a large bloc of Islamic states" forming a "Greater Albania".
After his defeat at the Israeli elections that year, Netanyahu was eager to publicise the fact that his government sent humanitarian aid and admitted about 200 refugees, who he used as a photo op.
A year after Kosovo's independence, Israel's ambassador in Belgrade, Arthur Koll, affirmed that Israel will not recognise Kosovo, asking "the Serbian people and government" to "appreciate Israel's position" as a sign of friendship. Following Israel's 2014 aggression on Gaza, Serbia's current president, Aleksandar Vucic, who served in the Milosevic regime, visited Israel and declared that Serbia is "very proud" of its friendship with Israel.
Despite Israel's firm support for Serbia - in rhetoric and in practice - Kosovo's governing elite continues to eagerly support the Israeli state at any opportunity. A decade of blind adulation of Israel and its apartheid regime, however, has not really paid off politically.
At the same time, there are solid grounds for solidarity between Palestinians and Kosovo Albanians, who, with their unique experiences of oppression, share similar goals of national liberation and recognition. Perhaps soon, it will be the people, rather than their uncouth leadership, that will determine the future of Palestinian-Kosovan relations.

Jews are very ethnocentric, and they always do what's best for their interests only, and they're not altruistic for them to care about the livelihoods of others if it doesn't serve them. Please.
