Lavrov's 'Hitler was a Jew' claim is part of the long history of Russian antisemitism

In a subsequent statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry enthusiastically promoted Lavrov's view by pointing the finger at Kyiv and at past instances of Ukrainian antisemitism. The Russian Foreign Ministry labelled Lapid's angry reaction as 'anti-historical'. Yet this deflection strategy conveniently ignored Russia's long history of antisemitism — stretching back to the 1920s when references were made to the Jewish origins of Trotsky, Zinoviev and Kamenev, Bolshevik revolutionaries who opposed Stalin.

    it may well be the case, but Lapid and Bennett need to show self control when responding to the madman. it is a bit like Zechariah b. Avkulos, except they are engaging in a shouting match, and entering a war that is not Israel's war.

    I find it terribly fascinating how both sides in the war are obsessed with Israel's position. I mean, no one cares about which side Algeria supports. Who's South Africa favouring? But Israel? Well we gotta know and hear about it
