MOSCOW, October 22. /TASS/. Moscow was perplexed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s unfounded allegations of Russia’s involvement in an online anti-Semitic campaign, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in response to a question from TASS.

"We were perplexed by these unfounded accusations against our country from the prime minister of Israel, a state that shares a rich common history with Russia," a ministry spokesperson said.

"Attempts to attribute an anti-Semitic campaign to Russia look ridiculous, given the fact - well known to Israel and repeatedly acknowledged by it - that, thanks to Russia’s policy of strengthening interethnic peace and harmony, there are almost no manifestations of anti-Semitism in our country," the official added.
