Israel's foreign minister has denounced as "unforgivable" remarks by his Russian counterpart that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler "had Jewish blood".
Russian FM Sergei Lavrov made the comments to try to justify Russia's portrayal of Ukraine as "Nazi" despite the fact that its president is Jewish.
Israel's foreign ministry summoned Russia's ambassador for "clarification" and demanded an apology.
Nazi Germany murdered six million Jews in the Holocaust in World War Two.
Mr Lavrov made the remarks in an interview with the Italian news channel Zona Bianca on Sunday, days after Israel marked Holocaust Remembrance Day, one of the most solemn occasions in the Israeli calendar.
When asked how Russia can claim that it is fighting to "de-Nazify" Ukraine when President Volodymyr Zelensky is himself Jewish, Mr Lavrov said: "So what if Zelensky is Jewish."
"The fact does not negate the Nazi elements in Ukraine. I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood," adding that "some of the worst anti-Semites are Jews."
Israel's foreign minister reacted furiously to Mr Lavrov's statement, accusing him of anti-Semitism.
Mr Lavrov was also condemned by the head of Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.
"Most of his remarks are absurd, delusional, dangerous and deserving of any condemnation," he tweeted. "Lavrov deals with the reversal of the Holocaust: turning the victims into criminals, based on the promotion of a completely unfounded claim that Hitler was of Jewish descent."
There have for decades been unproven claims that Hitler's unidentified paternal grandfather was Jewish, fuelled by an assertion by Hitler's lawyer Hans Frank.
In his memoir, published in 1953, Frank said he had been instructed by Hitler to investigate rumours that he had Jewish ancestry. Frank said he uncovered evidence that Hitler's grandfather was indeed Jewish - though the claim, which has gained ground among conspiracy theorists....

Just for tge sake of argument, would it maje any difference if he had a Jewish ancestor?
It’s the “unpardonable” sin. However, the fact remains that a Jewish man presides over Nazis in Ukraine.
What is an unpardonable sin?
Nope, in fact someone who is part something might even join in a prejudice to cover it up. We are talking about a man who didn’t even make the cut of what he described as the ideal human being.
This isn’t anything new. I’ve heard and read for decades that he was part Jewish.
Well, we certainly know of Soros’ ancestry.
I did also.
News to Jews, apparently.
It combines two of Russia’s favorite things — antisemitism and hatred of Nazis.
Don’t forget the Protocols was cooked up by a postal clerk in Russia I belive (can’t remember).
Retard Russians, they are asking for it, give the green light for the Mossad to take Putin out!
The center of the Neo Nazi movement in Europe is in Russia.
The center of that is the Russian military.
Calling the Ukraine “Nazi” is like calling the USA Nazi because the USAs prisons largest gangs are Nazis.
“Even in 1937, Hitler inquired about Bloch’s well-being and called him an “Edeljude” (”noble Jew”). Bloch also apparently had a special fondness for the Hitler family which may have saved his life.”
It was a silly thing to say. If you go back far enough probably every European human has some degree of Jewish ancestry. And it was absolutely stupid for the Lavrov to bring this up. What was the point? Payback for Israel’s support of Ukraine?
That rumor has been around for years and years in theory, or pop culture. Looks like some people just want to wake up angry, and offended.
Franz Haber, of Jewish Descent. Designed the Nazi death gas known as Zyklon B.
Mitochondrial Eve.
Franz Haber, 'of Jewish descent' died in 1934.
“Just for tge sake of argument, would it maje any difference if he had a Jewish ancestor?”
Agree, Israel is getting a bit jumpy there. After all, we all know that Soros is Jewish, and he’s nearly as bad as Hitler, at least with regard to destroying Western society.
“However, the fact remains that a Jewish man presides over Nazis in Ukraine.”
The Democrats say the same thing about Trump in America. It does not make it so.
Like they would care if someone shot Vlad.
Half want his power. The other half are just there to get rich and he’s messsing that up.
