Russia rejects Netanyahu’s antisemitism allegations as unsubstantiated
Russia’s Foreign Ministry rejected Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s allegations that Moscow was conducting an antisemitism campaign online. The ministry expressed regret that the remarks were made on October 18, the 35th anniversary of the restoration of diplomatic relations between Russia and Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s accusation that Russia was conducting an antisemitism campaign online drew a sharp response from Moscow. Russia’s Foreign Ministry argued that Netanyahu’s remarks contained no evidence and claimed that the international attitude toward Israel resulted from the policies of the Israeli government, not Russia.
Moscow rejects the allegations
In a statement on Thursday, Russia’s Foreign Ministry rejected Netanyahu’s remarks linking Russia to an antisemitism campaign. Referring to a Russian expression meaning “blaming the healthy instead of the sick,” the ministry said Netanyahu’s approach resembled that situation.
The ministry argued that the global attitude toward Israel was shaped exclusively by the policies pursued by the Israeli authorities. The statement also said that antisemitism incidents in Russia were “almost nonexistent” as a result of policies aimed at strengthening peace among ethnic groups.
Reaction to the timing of the remarks
Russia’s Foreign Ministry said it regretted that Netanyahu had made his remarks on October 18, the 35th anniversary of the restoration of diplomatic relations between Russia and Israel. The ministry said cooperation in this area could prevent similar problems from arising.
Moscow also argued that Netanyahu had chosen to make public remarks rather than establish a dialogue among cybersecurity experts ahead of the parliamentary elections scheduled for October 27.
Netanyahu referred to Aleksandr Dugin
During a meeting with bloggers as part of his election campaign, Netanyahu claimed that a significant portion of antisemitism in the West was part of a process conducted by structures in Russia. The Israeli prime minister also referred to Russian writer Aleksandr Dugin while making this claim.
Netanyahu did not share concrete examples showing coordination between Russia and the activities in question.
