Journalist and cultural critic Dim Amor made a shocking revelation against the Israeli Opera, claiming that the cultural institution is helping to finance the war in Ukraine through collaboration with a Russian state theater. "I will no longer attend the Israeli Opera," Amor declared in an exposé that shook the cultural world. "An institution that provides a platform for supporters of Russian fascism and a regime that supports Hamas has lost its public legitimacy".
In an extensive investigation, Amor reveals a disturbing mechanism: "A ticket to the Eifman Ballet's 'The Seagull' by the Russian state theater cost about 400 shekels. This money was transferred directly to the Russian government, and thus Israeli citizens, perhaps unknowingly, became supporters of Putin's regime. Israeli shekels purchased missiles against Ukraine because the money went to the Russian state, which uses it, among other things, to finance the war".
"I am certain that Ukrainian Jews are dying also due to the passive support of Israelis who thoughtlessly bought tickets to 'The Seagull'", Amor asserts. "The Israeli Opera provided a stage for the Russian theater, and the Ministry of Culture, which maintains the opera with public funds, remained silent because the Russian government wanted their theater to visit Israel".
The timing, Amor emphasizes, intensifies the gravity of the situation: "All this happens after October 7, when Hamas members, who are defined in Russia as a 'freedom-fighting party', have flown to Moscow several times. All this occurs while Russia publicly supports Hamas, supplies weapons to the terrorist organization, and even built a Kalashnikov factory in Gaza".
"'The Seagull' was staged after October 7, and Jews were silent again and even bought tickets for 400 shekels", Amor adds angrily. "What seemed like support for culture actually turned into support for Putin's government and strengthening his regime, which acts against Israel and for the killing of Ukrainian citizens, many of whom are Jews".
"The severity of the situation intensifies", Amor explains, "when you understand that Russia not only supports Hamas but has built a factory for manufacturing Kalashnikov rifles and missiles in Gaza. While the Israeli Opera hosts a Russian state theater, that same government supplies weapons to terrorist organizations operating against Israel".
While through the Israeli Opera, Israeli money was indirectly transferred to Moscow through various intermediaries, representatives of the terrorist organization Hamas visited the Russian capital several times after the October 7 terrorist attack, receiving public support from the Russian authorities and its president Vladimir Putin. All this occurred while the same organization held and continues to hold dozens of Israeli citizens captive, explains Dim Amor.
Dim Amor reiterated: "The situation is absurd when Russia supplies weapons to our enemies and defines terrorist organizations as 'freedom fighters', the Israeli Opera decides to provide a platform and legitimacy to a theater representing the same hostile regime. Every ticket sold to 'The Seagull' ballet turns Israeli spectators, even if unknowingly, into indirect supporters of a system that acts against Israel's security interests".
Following this revelation, Amor announced that from now on, he would only watch opera abroad. "I will not lend a hand to a cultural institution that transfers public funds to a regime that supports terror", he concludes.
This is what the opera told us:
"Hello, the performance 'The Seagull' created by the Ailpman Ballet is brought by an independent producer called 'Tzemach Productions,' who rents the opera hall. Please contact them. The public relations officer for the performance is Shauli Baskind (whose details I have passed on to you)."
