“Anti-historical statements”: Russian Foreign Ministry responds to criticism of Lavrov’s remarks about Jews and Hitler

“Not a guarantee of protection against pervasive neo-Nazism”

“We drew attention to the antihistorical statements of Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, which largely explains the current Israeli government’s support for the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Telegram channel.

Also, “the historical tragedy lies in the fact that if some Jews were forced to take part in crimes during the Second World War, Zelensky, who speculated about his roots, did this quite consciously and voluntarily” – “hide behind him,” he says. Its origin and natural include the neo-Nazis, the spiritual and blood heirs of the executioners of his people.

“The fact that the president is of Jewish origin is not a guarantee of protection from the widespread neo-Nazism in the country… Do not Lapid and his cabinet see this? Just like the truly honest people of the world – the Red Army soldiers who stopped the Holocaust and saved the Jewish world – mockingly ignore the epidemic of destruction and desecration of monuments,” the State Department says.

According to employees of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not realize that “first they came in Ukraine for the communists in 2014, then they came for the socialists, then when the Russians were “cancelled” the whole “civilized” world remained silent. in Ukraine.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that the norms of the law “On Preventing and Combating Anti-Semitism in Ukraine” signed by Volodymyr Zelensky in 2020 are not valid in Ukraine.

“Everyday and political anti-Semitism and Nazism are not suppressed, but nurtured. The authorities and law enforcement officials are calm about the anti-Semitic cries at the “Bandera” marches, because the current Kyiv regime is confident in its infallibility. Such “state building” is immoral, especially for a country that has lost 1.5 million Jews during the Holocaust and has a monument on the territory of its capital to those who died in Babi Yar, ”the statement said.

Israeli anger

May 1, appeared on the website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. published Interview of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with Italian TV company Mediaset. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry was asked to comment on the words of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky about the pointlessness of de-Nazis of a country where the president is Jewish.

“I don’t care what President Zelensky denies or doesn’t deny. As we said, there are “seven Fridays a week”. Lavrov can change his position several times in a day,” he said.

According to him, Zelensky rejected the possibility of discussing the disarmament and gentrification of the country in the negotiations, thereby sabotaging them.

“There is Nazification: the captured militants and battalions of Azov, Aidar and other units wear the swastika symbol and tattoos, the Nazi battalions of the Waffen-SS, clearly read and spread Mein Kampf on their clothes, on their bodies. He (Zelensky – “socialbites.ca”) puts forward an argument: what kind of Nazism can they have if he is Jewish. I could be wrong, but Adolf Hitler also had Jewish blood. It means absolutely nothing. Wise Jewish people say that Jews are often the most ardent enemies of the Jews. We said, “The family has a black sheep,” the Russian minister said.

Lavrov angered Israel with his statements. Russian Ambassador to Israel Anatoly Viktorov was summoned for a descriptive meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Jewish state.

“As a result of the outrageous remarks of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Russian Ambassador to Israel for a descriptive meeting with the deputy director general of the Eurasia Department,” the Israeli Foreign Ministry said.

The head of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs described Lavrov’s remarks as “unforgivable and outrageous”.

“The Jews did not kill themselves during the Holocaust. Yair Lapid said, “Accusing the Jews themselves with anti-Semitism is the lowest level of racism against Jews.”

Israeli television channel Srugim reported that Dani Dayan, chairman of the board of directors of the Yad Vashem memorial complex, described Lavrov’s remarks about Adolf Hitler’s possible Jewish roots as “dangerous and worthy of all condemnation.”

Israeli Communications Minister Yoaz Handel also described the Russian minister’s statements as “nonsense designed to justify the horrific actions of the Russians in Ukraine” and stressed that he was not ready to tolerate the disrespect for Holocaust victims and Politico. reports.

“I take the statement of the Russian Foreign Minister especially seriously. Their words are not true and their intentions are wrong… The purpose of such lies is to blame the Jews for the most heinous crimes committed against them in history, thereby eliminating the responsibility of the enemies of Israel,” he wrote. Prime Minister Israel Naftali Bennet on Twitter.

“I forgot the lessons of WWII”

Last night, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described Lavrov’s remarks as an “anti-Semitic attack” in a video message on Telegram.

“How can such a thing be said on the eve of the anniversary of the victory over Nazism? These words mean that Russia’s top diplomat has transferred responsibility for the crimes of the Nazis to the Jewish people. No words,” Zelensky snapped.

The Ukrainian president also believes that “this kind of anti-Semitic attack by his ministers means that all the lessons of the Second World War have been forgotten in Russia. Or maybe they never learned these lessons. Therefore, the question is: will the Israeli ambassador stay in Moscow knowing such a new position? Will relations with Russia continue as usual? – Ukrainian leader concluded.

The Russian Foreign Ministry responded to criticism of Israeli Foreign Minister Lapid, who said Sergey Lavrov’s remarks about Hitler’s possible Jewish roots and Jewish antisemitism were “unforgivable and outrageous”. Lapid’s words were considered anti-historical in the Russian Foreign Ministry.
