DISINFO: The government of Israel support anti-Semitism in Ukraine.
SUMMARY
The statements of Israeli FM Jair Lapi that lack historical accuracy are a good explanation why Israeli authorities support the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv.
RESPONSE
New attempt to deflect attention away from the statement of Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov about Jews being the worst anti-Semites voiced recently as part of his attacks against Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Putin apologised toward the Israeli Prime Minister.
Secondly, it is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Ukraine being taken over by neo-Nazis, which Russia is trying to use as a casus belli against Ukraine. The article is part of the Kremlin's campaign accusing Israel of supporting anti-Semitism in Ukraine.
As to far-right groups in Ukraine, they had a very limited presence during the Maidan square protests and have suffered defeats in every national election after that.
There is no evidence of Israel ever supporting anti-Semitism in any way. Russia's campaign against Israel was condemned by Jewish democratic lawmakers, US Jewish leaders, the head of the Hungarian Jewish organization Mazsihisz, and Israel itself - among others.
