Russian state TV says Jews brought Holocaust on themselves [View all]

Source: Ha'aretz

TV presenter makes comment while discussing the Ukrainian uprising with a guest.

A presenter on Russia's state TV, Evelyn Zakamskaya, said on air that the Jews helped bring the Holocaust on themselves, according to a blog post published on Sunday.

Zakamskaya was responding to a guest on the show, who said it was "strange" that Jewish organizations support Maidan (the Ukrainian protest movement). "They do not realize that they are, with their own hands, closer to the Holocaust?"

To that, Zakamskaya responded: "They also advanced the first [Holocaust.]"

Blogger John Aravosis from AMERICAblog confirmed the transcript of the show with Buzzfeed's Miriam Elder, who said it was "accurate, if incomplete."
