The Israeli government decides to organize a film festival in Russia, a country that supplies weapons and provides a platform for all of Israel's enemies. In light of Russia's close ties with Iran, against the backdrop of Hezbollah's armament and Putin's political isolation, such a move looks like a diplomatic failure. or what is it?
Key news of the day
- New strategic agreement between Russia and Iran According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the agreement with Iran secures mutual support and military cooperation.
- Iranian threat to Israel Media warn that Iran is preparing to strike Israel in the coming days.
- Israel holding a film festival in Russia The Israeli Embassy in Moscow is organizing a film festival in Russian cities, as if its support for Hezbollah and Iran is an unimportant detail.
What does this news have in common? Is this generally normal?
Or did the Israeli government not see Russian weapons in Hezbollah? Or Russia does not “condemn” at the international level and at the UN ALL Israeli actions in the fight against terrorists. Or was it not Russian air defense that failed to prevent the Israeli attack? Who gave anti-ship missiles to the Houthis? Was it not through Russia that the recently exposed Iranian spies in Israel were paid? And whose leader is wanted by the Hague Criminal Court for child abduction? And who destroys Ukrainian peaceful cities, kills the population of Ukraine with bombs and missiles? Who? Who? Who?……
And where do Hamas, Hezbollah, Mahmut Abbas, Syrian dictator Assad, and Iranian officials constantly go to confer and seek help?
The answer is correct – where the State of Israel holds Israeli film festivals!
Here Embassy of Israel in the Russian Federation happily reports about “a job well done”:
“Window to Israeli culture”
The 21st Israeli Film Festival will be held in Russia!
From November 7 to 10 (2024) the annual Israeli Film Festival will be held in Moscow, Perm and Novosibirsk, organized by the Israeli Embassy together with the Cinema Park and Formula Kino cinema chains.

Why does this Israeli move raise questions?
1. Cultural diplomacy amid arms deals?
Israel, by organizing the festival in Russia, avoids condemning Russia's military actions and its support for Israel's enemies. This cultural exchange looks like an excuse to turn a blind eye to Russia's war crimes in Ukraine and involvement in destabilizing the Middle East.
2. Ambiguous silence at the global level Israel seeks to maintain peaceful interaction with Russia, despite its aggressive policies and military alliances with Iran. Such behavior is contrary to the principles of Israeli diplomacy, especially when supporting terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah results in direct threats to the security of Israeli citizens.
3. Support from Israel and harsh condemnation from the United States By comparison, while Israel is holding a festival in Russia, the United States is actively condemning Russia’s actions in Ukraine and on the international stage, calling for limited cooperation with its allies. Israel, by ignoring these warnings, risks losing the trust of an important ally.
As the authors from NAnovosti note:
“The organization of the festival in Russia is a blow to the principles of Israeli diplomacy.
How can Israel hold cultural events in a country that supplies weapons to its enemies?”
Holding the festival in Russia becomes an alarming signal for Israeli citizens and the country's allies. Against the backdrop of growing military threats and active support for Israel’s enemies from Russia, cultural cooperation looks like a betrayal of principles.
Contempt for Russia on the world stage
Aggression against Ukraine has led Russia to international isolation, and many states now openly condemn its actions. The sanctions imposed against Russia concern not only the economic, but also the cultural sphere, emphasizing its international rejection. Nevertheless, Israeli diplomacy chooses to maintain cultural ties, despite such actions of Russia and its active cooperation with Israel’s opponents.
“An Israeli festival in a country that supports Iranian aggressors seems like a blow to its own principles,” – NEWS.
