Russia does not consider Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist organizations until they commit terrorist attacks against its interests.

This is the Russian ambassador to Israel Alexander Shein in an interview with the host of the television program "War and Peace" Dmitry Dubov.

"According to our legislation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, on the proposal of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, classifies those organizations that are engaged in terrorist actions on the territory of the Russian Federation or abroad, but against the interests of Russia. I mean, against its facilities, embassies and missions, citizens purposefully. You put on the same board, and this is wrong, "- said Shein.

Such an explanation of the diplomat on his Facebook page was criticized by a famous Russian blogger and journalist Alexander Tverskoy.

"Russia's ambassador to Israel talks about who terrorists are. Terrorists are all who commit terrorist acts against Russia or its citizens. And all the rest are not terrorists. Hamas is generally goodwill ambassadors.

For example, terrorist attacks in Europe - this is also not terrorists did according to the logic of this boar, "- he wrote.

As the Observer reported earlier, the British journalist Harry Cartwright in Brussels today wrote that Russia supports terrorists involved in violence in Europe with the aim of destabilizing the situation in the EU, undermining confidence, values ??and dividing European society.
