New low blow in the disgusting propaganda of Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov (72)!
By Celal Cakar
In an interview with the Italian TV channel Rete 4, Lavrov repeated dictator Putin’s fabricated justification for the war, according to which Nazis were in power in Ukraine.
Just one example among many of how absurd the accusation is: Ukraine is the only country in Europe to have a president of Jewish descent.
︎ But Lavrov tried to refute this argument with a particularly perfidious lie: “It means absolutely nothing that Zelenskyj is of Jewish origin, even Hitler had Jewish blood in my opinion.” Then he added: “For some time we have been hearing the wise men Jews say that the biggest anti-Semites are the Jews.”
Outrageous! Because Lavrov’s conspiracy theory implicitly indicates that what happened to the Jews in World War II they had to blame on themselves, since the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century was one of them!
︎ Israel’s government reacted accordingly outraged. She demanded an apology and summoned the Russian ambassador to an interview on Monday.
Foreign Minister Jair Lapid spoke of an “unforgivable, scandalous statement, a terrible historical error”. “We expect an apology.”
Lapid added, “It wasn’t Jews who killed my grandfather, it was Nazis.”
He recommended Lavrov to look in a history book. “Ukrainians are not Nazis. Only the Nazis were Nazis. Only they carried out the systematic extermination of the Jews.” The head of the Israeli Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem, Dani Dayan, called Lavrov’s statements “absurd, delusional, dangerous and despicable”.

In fact, the confused thesis that Hitler had Jewish blood is not new, but an ancient hat: Corresponding rumors were already circulating in the 1920s. The background to this is that it has not been finally clarified who fathered Hitler’s father Alois. The so-called “Frankenberger or Frankenreiter thesis”, according to which Hitler’s grandfather could have been a Jew of that name, is considered extremely unlikely by historians. Hitler’s descent from this man is anything but clear. And even if he did, it is considered very unlikely that he was Jewish. In any case, the supposed implication that Hitler was somehow Jewish himself would be completely absurd.
For anti-Semites worldwide, however, this extremely flimsy theory is a godsend. Some go so far as to claim that the Holocaust was organized by Jews themselves.
