(Jewish Group)Speaking about Zelensky, Russian foreign minister says Hitler also had Jewish ancestry

The fact that Ukraine’s president is Jewish has hurt the credibility of Russia’s claims that it invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 to “de-Nazify” it.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov tried to boost his country’s argument during an interview with an Italian television channel on Sunday, by saying he said he believed Adolf Hitler also had Jewish origins and that Jewish sages say the biggest antisemites are Jewish themselves.

Lavrov said this during an interview with Italy’s Channel 4, a commercial broadcaster, according to the simultaneous translation to Italian of remarks he made in Russian.

Asked whether he regards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “an obstacle to peace,” Lavrov spoke about the prevalence of pro-Nazi ideologies in the ranks of some Ukrainian military units and then broached the subject of Zelensky’s Jewish identity without being asked to comment on it.

Some never waste an opportunity to blame the Jews. So, it is no surprise RW assholes are blaming Jews for the Holocaust, many of whom don't even think it was real, and their kissing-cousins on the left do the same with their "theories" that the "Zionists" made a deal with Hitler and sacrificed 6 million in order to get the nation of Israel, which is often the collective target of widespread anti-Semitism and bigotry.

Some things NEVER fucking change!
