• As quoted by Hebrew media:

“The fact that Zelensky is Jewish does not deny the Nazi elements in Ukraine. I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood.”

Later in the speech he added: “The worst anti-Semites are the Jews.”

• Accurate translation:

“On the argument that he [Zelensky] submits, ‘what Nazification can we have since I am a Jew?’, if I remember correctly –I may be mistaken– I think Hitler also had Jewish blood. It means absolutely nothing; and we've long heard the Jewish folk wisdom that the most ardent antisemites are usually themselves Jews. There is a black sheep in every family, as our saying goes.”

Due to the high number of IDF soldiers & settlers with severe PTSD, many firework shows on the anniversary of Israel's creation will be cancelled all around Israel.

May it be a joyful day for you and your family.
