(Reuters) - Russia's foreign ministry accused Israel on Tuesday of supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine, further escalating a row which began when Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed Adolf Hitler had Jewish origins.

Russia has not been exactly Israel’s best friend ever
If anyone thinks no Jew would support neo-nazis, just look at many of the Jews who worked with the Hitler regime

George Soros, real name Gyorgy Schwartz is an example.
When asked on 60 Minutes if he regretted it, he said no.
Good thing to give aid and comfort to the mass murdering Kremlin SOBs.
Israel has been studiously neutral during this Russkie invasion. In fact, Israel has been criticized for not being pro-Ukraine. The most action Israel has taken has been to make charter flights available to Ukrainian Jews to Israel, if they want out. Primarily women and children. Elderly too.
Shortly after the statement was issued, Israeli Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz (Meretz) fired back at Moscow, tweeting that “There is no neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine” Zelensky is not a neo-Nazi, and his Judaism has nothing to do with this. The Russian rhetoric which links the invasion of Ukraine with the Soviet struggle against Nazi Germany, with comparisons to Hitler, is a terrible lie. Shameless propaganda which also dishonors the legacy of the Holocaust. Therefore, Israel backs the integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine against the cruel Russian invasion.”

This entire who’s-the-biggest-Nazi contest should be seen as nothing but virtue signaling.
What, exactly, are “neo-Nazis”? Nazis, or NAtional soZIalists, are first of all, socialists, and only a “kinder, gentler” form of socialism than outright Communists. It is still a command-and-control regime that cannot abide any internal dissent. The differences between the sort of regime that is entertained today in the Russian Federation, and the “neo-Nazis” of the Ukraine are too minute for the non-socialist to detect, yet are held to be a grave apostasy by the various flavors of socialists.
But its asinine, for the Russians, to argue that the Israeli government is supporting a Ukrainian nazi regime.
Russia claims Israel supports neo-Nazis in Ukraine after Lavrov-Hitler flap
The Russian ministry said in a statement that Foreign Minister Yair Lapid’s comments condemning Lavrov were "anti-historical" and "explaining to a large extent why the current Israeli government supports the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv."

According to the Russians, denazification is the same as de-Ukrainisation.
Denazification is a set of measures aimed at the nazified population [of Ukraine], which technically cannot be subjected to direct punishment like war criminals … a significant part of the masses of the people … are passive Nazis … Denazification is inevitably also de-Ukrainisation: a rejection of the artificial inflation of the ethnic self-identification of the population.

The facts on the ground say otherwise...and Israel knows it.
Lol, you Putin supporters are ridiculous, Israeli Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz says “There is no neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine”, Zelensky is not a neo-Nazi, and his Judaism has nothing to do with this.

Old mad Putin had a war
E-I-E-I-O
And in this war he caused a row
E-I-E-I-O
With a Nazi here
And a Nazi there
Here a Nazi, there a Nazi
Everywhere a Nazi
Old mad Putin had a war
E-I-E-I-O!
“The facts on the ground say otherwise.”
Whose facts?
L
That Schutzstaffel says otherwise. 
The government of Israel is able to identify nazis, and they are saying the government of Ukraine is not nazi.
“Lavrov is propagating the inversion of the Holocaust — turning the victims into the criminals on the basis of promoting a completely unfounded claim that Hitler was of Jewish descent,” it said in a statement. “Equally serious is calling the Ukrainians in general, and President Zelensky in particular, Nazis. This, among other things, is a complete distortion of the history and an affront to the victims of Nazism.”
Israel’s Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, called the remarks “absurd, delusional, dangerous and deserving of condemnation.”
