“The family has a black sheep”: Lavrov’s remarks about Hitler’s Judaism infuriated Israel

“Every family has a black sheep”

During the interview, Lavrov was asked to comment on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s remarks about the pointlessness of de-Nazification of a country where the president was Jewish.

“I don’t care what President Zelensky denies or doesn’t deny. As we said, there are “seven Fridays a week”. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry can change his position several times in one day, ”said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

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 the Jews are often the most ardent enemies of the Jews. The head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we said, “The family has a black sheep.”

He added that materials have been published confirming that Americans, and especially Canadians, play a leading role in the training of ultra-radical, openly neo-Nazi units in Ukraine.

“All these years the goal was to get neo-Nazis to join the regular armed forces of Ukraine. Thus, in each unit (battalion, regiment), people from Azov would play a leading role. I have read such material in the Western press. The fact that Azov was openly a neo-Nazi association was recognized without hesitation in the West, until in early 2022 they began to change their position, as if in command. “Recently, Japan even apologized for listing Azov as a terrorist organization a few years ago because of its neo-Nazi leanings,” he said.

He also recalled in an interview that when Zelensky was asked how he felt about Azov, there were many such battalions, “they are what they are”.

I would like your opinion on the fact that the phrase “they are what they are” was cut and not published by the journalist who interviewed Zelensky. So the journalist understands what this person is saying and thinking. And he is thinking about how to use neo-Nazis to fight the Russian Federation, ”said Lavrov.
