Ukraine's pro-Russian rebel chief on Monday branded the country's leaders "miserable" Jews in an apparent anti-Semitic jibe.

Alexander Zakharchenko, leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, claimed that Kiev's pro-Western leaders were "miserable representatives of the great Jewish people".

"I can't remember a time when Cossacks were led by people who have never held a sword in their hands," Zakharchenko told a press conference in the eastern rebel stronghold of Donetsk, in a reference to Ukraine's nationalist forebears, the Cossacks.

Zakharchenko said that the country's historical nationalists "would turn in their graves if they could see who is running Ukraine."

1. GOP loves KGB and Putin...how will they explain their love for this Anti Semite?

I think teaparty has no problem explaining it, but rank and file old school repubs?

Is Putin actually both Jewish and a homosexual?

2. anti-Semitic Russia has killed off Jews & others forever. They're pros at 'ethnic' exterminations.

3. disgusting POS.

Or as the Magistrate used to say... "isn't he just a special snowflake?"

4. Isn't the Luhansk head sitting

next to him Jewish? I believe he is. His name is Igor Plotnitsky. Wikipedia points out his father is Veniamin.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Plotnitsky He's an ethnic Russian Ukrainian Jew.

Obviously this statement is being taken out of context and used as propaganda. That why he says the great Jewish people. Looks like we are all being played for fools by some of this propaganda.

6. Thank you. nt

8. More work of our tabloid media.

and the actual text was "miserable representatives of the great Jewish people".

7. Your papers, please.

9. It is fun to watch people parse.

""You are good-looking for a fat guy!" That's insulting?! How?! I was conveying your attractiveness!""

The above pretty much sums up the big but, but, buts being mooned all over the place.

10. You do realize the gentleman sitting next to him,

his partner, is Jewish?

11. That's relevant how?

[Manifest Destiny]

12. Let me guess,

you think he is a self deprecating Jew? Am I right? The reason the man on the left obviously says 'the great Jewish people' is to pay his partner in the seat next to him a compliment. The US media are running with this theme, but it doesn't pan out.

13. As expected, you guessed wrong.

This isn't about who is or isn't sitting next to the speaker, it is about what he said. The Jewish person's presence is simply being used as an "excuse" to make it seem as if it not what it really is. It is nothing more than a version of the "some of my best friends are..." trope.

14. Were you there? Can you speak for this Jewish man sitting next to him?

How do you rationalize what someone else is saying when you are only privy to some shameless propaganda that is obviously being fed to you for nefarious purposes? I think it is quite callous of you to pretend to know what and how it was meant and said. Alas we can agree to disagree, but at the end of the day your basing your opinion on hearsay and propaganda.

[Behind the Aegis]

15. Can you?

Your goalpost moving is irrelevant to the actual statement as it wasn't the Jewish man who said it, but rather the dude next to him. I am not basing my opinion on anything other than what the fucker said. YOU are trying to make it out to be something else all together by bring up his "sitting next to a Jew" which, as I said earlier, is totally irrelevant. How is it you think everything which is unflattering to Russia is automatically propaganda?

16. 'Fucker' is a bit strong don't ya think?

I see I am not debating with a sound, reasonable mind. Have a nice day. I won't be feeding your hatred.

[Behind the Aegis]

17. That was in reference to the speaker, not you.

But your personal attacks are noted; which often indicate the lack of substance or a case.

18. Whether it was to me or him, it matters not.

It was uncivil and shows you to be someone who is rude and to be avoided. I'm putting you on ignore. Goodbye.
