Israel has summoned the Russian ambassador and demanded an apology over remarks by the Kremlin foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, that Adolf Hitler “had Jewish blood” and that the “most rabid antisemites tend to be Jews”.
The remarks were part of Lavrov’s defence of Russia’s policy of “denazification” in Ukraine, the Kremlin’s term for a sweeping purge that Ukraine says is a pretext for “mass murder.”
In an interview with Italian TV, Lavrov was asked to address how Russia could say it needed to “denazify” the country when its president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, is Jewish. .. “As to [Zelenskiy’s] argument of what kind of nazification can we have if I’m Jewish, if I remember correctly, and I may be wrong, Hitler also had Jewish blood,” Lavrov said
“His words are untrue and their intentions are wrong,” said the Israeli prime minister, Naftali Bennett. “Using the Holocaust of the Jewish people as a political tool must cease immediately.”

Hitler did not believe he had non Aryan blood nor did he consider himself be "Jewish." So even if Lavrov was right about being vierteljude, it doesn't matter, nor does his sentence make any sense.

Germany denounces Lavrov’s comments on Hitler and Zelenskiy as ‘absurd’

Yeah I thought it did come out Hilter had some Jewish blood in him.
At this point, practically anything coming out of Lavrov's mouth should just be ignored.
It wouldn't matter if he took to the podium to recite the Lord's Prayer - he would be doing it solely for evil purposes.

React to media reports all you like, “pal”, not in response to my posts.
I met Lavrov years ago in Bratislava. He was a cold, sour, humorless douchebag back then and still is one today - just a puffier, wrinklier douchebag.
Putin’s regime is desperate now. They lost thousands of troops trying and failing to capture Kyiv.
Then in Donbas, they have roads, and kherson, but their advance has stalled and even been pushed back in dome places.
So the Kremlin is desperately trying the “blame the Jews”
Correct. Theg are losing everything
Israel is pointing out the anti Semitic narrative of Putin’s regime
Of course it’s desperation .
Good to know.
“Israel is pointing out the anti Semitic narrative of Putin’s regime”
OBVIOUSLY you don’t know the history of Putin and Israel.
But that’s ok, the media doesn’t want you to know.
I’m talking of what’s happening NOW . And Putin’s regime is anti Semitic
How about the history of Putin and Iran?
