Brief Overview of the Video Content

1. Support for Russian Aggression Among Russian-Speaking Israelis

Grigory Tamar expresses concern about how actively Russian-speaking Israelis support Russian aggression. He emphasizes that this support is created through manipulation of public opinion, and the real opinion of Russian-speaking Israelis is left behind.

2. The Issue of Israel’s Participation in the May 9 Parade in Moscow

Tamar passionately expresses his opposition to Israel sending an official delegation to the May 9 celebrations in Moscow. For him, this is a real shame. He reminds that Putin, who is aggressing against Ukraine, does not deserve to have Israelis supporting his actions, especially given that Russia is arming Israel’s enemies.

3. Ignoring Putin’s Aggression by the Israeli Government

Grigory Tamar emphasizes that the Israeli government, as well as practically all major political forces and parties, ignore Putin’s aggression in Ukraine. This ignorance is unacceptable to him, especially considering that Israel historically supports the principles of independence and territorial integrity. He expresses dissatisfaction that none of the significant Israeli politicians condemn Russia’s war crimes, while the international community actively reacts to them.

Grigory Tamar on Supporting Russia:

“This is double treason”
