Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov apparently made a statement implying that Adolf Hitler had Jewish blood. I’m not even sure he really said this, but whatever he said has sent Jews and Israel in particular into a seething rage.
Israel slams Russia over foreign minister Sergei Lavrov's "Hitler had Jewish blood" comment.
Russia, meanwhile, accuses Israel of backing Ukraine's neo-Nazis.

Regardless of what Lavrov said about Hitler, Jews, Zelensky, Ukraine etc.. what is interesting about this is how relations between Israel and Russia are quickly falling apart.
Quite frankly, it was only a matter of time before this happened. Israel has been waging war against Russia’s ally Syria for quite awhile now.
Hopefully the end result of all this is a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv. The Jews that live there deserve a small taste of hell before they ultimately end up there.
