Israel outrage at Sergei Lavrov’s claim that Hitler was part Jewish
The Russian foreign minister’s claim that Hitler “had Jewish blood” is denounced as unforgiveable. …
The BBC’s Jon Donnison in Jerusalem says the strength of the reaction reflects just how deeply offensive and unconscionable Mr Lavrov’s comments will be to Jews, both in Israel and around the world. Over recent months, Israel, which has a large Russian population, has tried at times to act as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine.
