Bad comment. First, can you please name the founder? Because according to wiki Ilya Segalovich never lived in Israel and Arkady_Volozh lives in Tel Aviv (Not a settlement). Both Jewish, so why present it as some "must-be-hidden-cause" connection with Israel?
Also, nothing shady from Israel side in term of sanctions. They have a large Jewish community in both Russia and Ukraine and need to be on good term with both to have their gov helping in supporting (or evacuating) them. Not to mention Russia has heavy presence in Syria which borders Israel. A conflict with Russia without anything like a NATO back is out of the question.

Sources confirm she is in Israel and has no intention of returning to Russia https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/tech-news/2022-04-06/ty-article/yandex-ceo-relocates-to-israel-cannot-work-for-a-country-at-war/00000180-5bb7-d615-a9bf-dff7344d0000 https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/tech-news/2022-04-06/ty-...

- yonixw 4y agoDid you read it? It literally has a "Use in antisemitic" section. Can you have any bigger red flag? > Use in antisemitic polemic > conspiracy theorist, David Icke, who states that the Israelians falsely claim to be descendants of the Biblical Jews I don't really care about conspiracy theorists. Mainly because they ignore 2000 years of accepted archeology.
- nashashmi 4y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thirteenth_Tribe#Genetic_research https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thirteenth_Tribe#Genetic_r... This led me to look up similar information. Another article [1] looks into this a little more deeply. I feel there is a resurgence of despising European dominance over the last 200 years and Israel is just another point here. Thus, we have material hypothesizing the illegitimacy of European Jews when the Jews of other ethnicities may have better acceptance in the region. (But all of this is just a vague hypothesis.)
