(Jewish Group) Russia Lectures Israel About Holocaust, Defends Saying Hitler Was Jewish

[Behind the Aegis]

Russia on Tuesday lectured Israel about the Holocaust, as the Kremlin sought to defend Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov after he had compared Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is Jewish, to Adolf Hitler.

Lavrov, during an interview on Italian television Sunday night, said that Zelensky being Jewish "does not negate the Nazi elements in Ukraine," repeating a line from Russian President Vladimir Putin to justify invading Ukraine in February.

"I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood, some of the worst anti-Semites are Jews," Lavrov said Sunday.

Israel was quick to condemn the remarks on Monday. Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid called Lavrov's comments "unforgivable," and "a terrible historical mistake," and demanded an apology

Responding to Israeli outrage, Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs published a lengthy statement titled, "About anti-Semitism."

1. That's next level evil

on Lavrov and the RUSSIAN PEOPLES' part. "We didn't know" won't be acceptable to me.

2. I agree, but it is so typical.

It is always the minority's fault for their own destruction, so it has been for CENTURIES in regard to Jews. We were always blamed for our murders and expulsions. Of course, in my mind this is the same thing I see (and evokes the same anger in me) when I see people, too many claiming to be on the left, who blame homophobia on "secret fags". Y'know what I am talking about, anytime a homophobe starts his (almost always a man) shit, the claim is immediately, "well, he's probably a homo anyway". We see something similar anytime POC complain about how they are treated and then immediately accused of their actions being the reason for how they are treated by the majority.

Gaslighting 101!

It's exhausting dealing with this.

And I'm terrified for you and your husband right now. Like - shit is getting real BTA.
