OUTRAGE: Israel Livid Over Sergei Lavrov’s Claim That Hitler Was Part Jewish

Israel has reacted with fury after Russia’s foreign minister claimed that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler “had Jewish blood.” Sergei Lavrov made the comments to try to justify Russia’s portrayal of Ukraine as “Nazi” despite the fact that its president is Jewish.

BBC reports that Israel’s foreign ministry summoned Russia’s ambassador for “clarification” and demanded an apology.

Lavrov made the remarks in an interview on Italian TV program Zona Bianca on Sunday, days after Israel marked Holocaust Remembrance Day. When asked how Russia can claim that it is fighting to “de-Nazify” Ukraine when President Volodymyr Zelensky is himself Jewish, Lavrov said: “I could be wrong, but Hitler also had Jewish blood. [That Zelensky is Jewish] means absolutely nothing. Wise Jewish people say that the most ardent anti-Semites are usually Jews.”

The minister’s statement was met with outrage across Israel’s political spectrum.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said: “Such lies are meant to blame the Jews themselves for the most terrible crimes in history and thus free the oppressors of the Jews from their responsibility. No war today is the Holocaust or is like the Holocaust.”

Israeli foreign minister Yair Lapid reacted angrily, calling Lavrov’s words “unforgivable.”

  1. Visceral Russian antisemitism always manages to shine through.
    For the entirety of the Soviet period, Marx and Lenin were their gods, one as a German theorist of Communism, and the other as it’s thoroughly Russian implementor.
    After the fall of the Soviet society, the former was blamed as a Jewish intellectual who aimed to destroy the Russian way of life (although Marx specifically wrote that Communism, as such, cannot be built in a purely agrarian society such as Russia), while the latter was labeled as 1/4 Jewish, who didn’t possess a single drop of Russian blood (he truly did not), and was therefore merciless (that he certainly was) in obliterating all the former Russian and Christian values of the land.
    The surprise isn’t Lavrov’s statement; it lies in Putin’s very decent relationship with the Jewish community, which is so different from all of his predecessors going back to pre-Christian 980!
    That’s over a millennium of deep hatred, even during long 7 centuries of total absence of any Jews in Russian territory.

    • Putin does seem to be both an anomaly and an enigma.
      He seems at times to be highly Philo-Semitic (think his assistance in rebuilding frum Jewry in Russia or assisting Israel with certain military goals that are counter to Russian domination in the Middle East), and at other times applying the brutish tactics to Jews as to anyone else (think threatening Berel Lazar if he speaks out against the Ukraine war)

  2. These Israeli politicians are such hypocrits ! They trample on everything that is holy to us,making life for the chareidim as difficult as possible,then when someone like Lavrov suggests what he did,they’re up in arms!…..Yes,Lavrov is spot on!! Some of the biggest anti-semites are jewish themselves!…..Just look whose running Israel right now,jewish anti semites with or without a mini cippa on their heads!

  3. Mr. Lavrov, in case you forgot, Russia was an ally of the Nazis in World War 2, until the Nazis turned on Russia.

  4. wHO knows…maybe that mamzer Lavrov also has Jewish blood…and he might very well be a SELF HATING JEW….YEMACH SHMOI….

    • It is.
      I do believe this is a circumstance of both parties being right (correct) and wrong (immoral) at the same time.

    • Yes, I read that there are rumors that one of Hitler’s biological paternal grandfathers or great-grandfathers was Jewish who had a bad relation with a non-Jewish maid. The text further suggested that it could be that having such unclear doubts about his lineage (that MAYBE he did have some Jewish presence in his past, but he could not know for sure) may have well increased his anger at the situation and intensified his vehement hatred of Am Yisroel that much more.

  5. Very interesting.

    “Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said: “Such lies are meant to blame the Jews themselves for the most terrible crimes in history…””

    Actually, it’s not a lie and that’s also not at all the point, but the reason for this reaction is that the Zionists found a way to score cheap propaganda points here.

    While on the topic, since the Zionist also mentioned it, the Zionists certainly did have their filthy idolatrous paws in the Holocaust. The heretical founder of Zionism himself wrote that anti-Semites will be the best friends of the Zionists.

    For example, and this is not even the tip of the iceberg, the Zionists actively lobbied governments against allowing Jews to escape to their countries because the Zionists wanted them in Palestine only – despite knowing full well that the British wouldn’t allow that because of the Zionist battles and terror in Palestine prior to and during WW II, which meant that those Jews would be gassed. Zionism was and is more important to Zionists than Jewish life. The Zionists openly admitted it, even decades later.

  6. The point is that having a Jewish ancestor (or even being Jewish) has no connection to being (or not being) anti-Semitic. One could give such examples of someone with Jewish ancestry throughout history – such as Tomas de Torquemada (1420-1498) – Grand Inquisitor in Spain’s zealous movement to restore Christianity.

    This president of Ukraine is so Jewish that he was presented on Ukrainian media as attending the christening of his son in a church.
