Russian President Vladimir Putin, 69, made an overture to Israel for the May 2 off-the-wall remarks of his 72-year-old Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, saying that Adolf Hitler was reportedly part Jewish, disputing the ancestry of Ukraine’s 44-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky. Lavrov’s comments about Jewish anti-Semitism irked Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Lair Lapid, both said it disgraces the memory of the Holocaust.where some 6 million Jews were marched to deaths in Nazi concentration camps where they were starved and gassed. Putin pointed out to Bennett that no one lost more at the hands of the Nazis than the Soviet Union with some 27 million killed in WW II. Lavrov’s ignorant remarks stem for generations of misinformation about Jews epitomized in the 1902 fake history book, “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.”
“Protocols” spread pernicious propaganda about Jews, related to an international conspiracy to take over the world. Lavrov should know better buts shows he’s a product to Russia’s anti-Semitic history. No educated diplomat could believe such rubbish about Nazis and the Jews. Putin was forced to clean up Lavrov’s mess. “The President of Russia recalled that of the 6 million Jews tortured in ghettos and concentration camps, killed by the Nazis during punitive operation, 40% were citizens of the USSR, and asked to convey wishes of health and well-being to the veterans living in Israel,” Putin said, setting the record straight that Russia is a friend of Israel. Putin and Lavrov called the “Special Operation” to de-Nazify and demilitarize Ukraine. Ukraine rejected the word de-Nazify because Zelensky has Jewish ancestry, rejecting the idea there are still neo-Nazis in Ukraine.
Mending fences with Israel showed that Putin has a diplomatic side, appreciating the kind of cooperation he’s received from Israel especially in the Syrian War. Lavrov infuriated Israeli officials with some old common anti-Semitic tropes. “For some time we have heard from the Jewish people that the biggest anti-Semites were Jewish,” Lavrov said April 2. “When they say, ‘How can Nazification exist if we’re Jewish?’ In my opinion, Hitler also had Jewish origins, so it doesn’t mean absolutely anything,” Lavrov said. Lavrov got caught in his own illogical, circular reasoning, about the motive for the Ukraine War, giving too many explanations making zero sense. Putin set the record straight that he doesn’t hold Lavrov’s views but wants to acknowledge the historical record about the Holocaust, but also the USSR’s staggering losses from the Nazi’s in WW II.
When it comes to the Ukraine War, Russia views Ukraine’s fighters as neo-Nazis largely because they’re battling the Russian Federation. Ukraine portrays itself as the victim of Kremlin aggression, when, Moscow sees Zelensky’s regime as a puppet U.S. state. Putin made it clear for months before the Feb. 24 invasion that the new security arrangement must be reached in Ukraine in Eastern Europe or he would be forced to take “military-technical measures” to protect Russian national security. President Joe Biden, 79, ignored Putin’s security requests for months before the Feb. 24 invasion, telling Putin that all of his requests were “non-starters.” So when the war started, Biden called the Ukraine war “unprovoked and unjustified,” knowing he was arming Ukraine to the hilt over the Kremlin’s objections. Even Pope Francis acknowledged May 3 that NATO probably caused Russia’s invasion.
Whatever the flap over Lavrov’s comments, they amount to nothing in Israel because they’re so off-the-wall. Putin’s message to Bennett sets the record straight that Russia and Israel have a good working relationship. Biden wants Israel to stop interacting with Russia, as long as he runs a proxy war against the Russian Federation out of the White House. Whatever destruction and carnage happens in Ukraine, it could be stopped in a heartbeat if both sides went to Instanbul to negotiate an acceptable ceasefire. Ukraine has lost so much territory at this point they’re in a full-on war mentality with the U.S. supplying endless amounts of cash and weapons. But Biden and Zelensky have not concluded that they’ve been beaten by the Russian Federation and now must go to Istanbul as the vanquished. Zelesnsky tells Biden that only one more weapon system will turn the war around.
Biden’s proxy war against the Russian Federation has harmed Ukraine, continuing to bomb Ukraine into the Stone Age. Everyday that goes on, Ukraine has that much less infrastructure to govern an orderly society. If the U.S. didn’t pay for Zelensky’s government, Ukraine would be bankrupt. Biden doesn’t level with the American public about why he’s willing to risk WW III to defend Ukraine, when it’s been one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. Just ask Joe’s 52-year-old son Hunter Biden who worked at a corrupt Ukrainian energy company, Burisma Holdings, for nearly five years making him millions. No coincidence at the time that Joe was former President Barack Obama’s Vice President. So when it comes to corruption, no one does it better than Ukraine. Zelensky talks a good game but none’s audited the billions he received in taxpayer dollars.
