Russia has taken Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s claim that Adolf Hitler “had Jewish blood” to disturbing new depths, doubling down Tuesday on an argument that Jewish people themselves were to blame for their deaths during the Holocaust.
The claim was made by Russia’s Foreign Ministry in a lengthy statement shared via Twitter, part of Moscow’s relentless efforts to bolster its narrative that Nazis are controlling Ukraine, despite the country’s own president being Jewish.
Accusing Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid of not knowing Israel’s own history, Moscow argued he was wrong to say in his rebuke of Lavrov’s words that “Jews did not murder themselves in the Holocaust.” As proof of this, the Russian Foreign Ministry cited examples of a handful of Jewish people who were coerced to help the Nazis during the Holocaust to argue that there was “cooperation between the Jews and the Nazis.” This, the ministry claimed, proves there is “the most extreme antisemitism” in Ukraine and that Israel supports “neo-Nazis” there.

He’s got his talking points from Neturei karta and Lev tahor.
The Russians making this claim probably don’t know enough to know that they are correct that the medina is anti-religious, which is certainly a form of discrimination against the true keepers of the Jewish religion.
And Russia is engaged in genocide!
“Israel Is Antisemitic.” ~Sergei Lavrov

Welcome to Putin’s Russia, where it’s always 1984.
What a headline:
“Russia Doubles Down on Bizarre Claim Israel Is Antisemitic”
What’s bizarre is that any Jewish organization/news site/whatever could write such a bizarre headline.
To briefly go over the definitions:
Antisemitic means against Jews or Judaism.
Israel is, of course, the Zionist State. Zionism is the heretical and idolatrous movement that seeks to change the Jewish people and religion from Torah-based to godless nationalist land-based.
Any movement that attempts to “redefine” (i.e. destroy) the Jewish people and religion is, by definition, antisemitic.
Therefore, Zionism is, of course, antisemitic.
It will change. Russia is gagged by turning war. Victory grants the war was against mankind.
