It is said in the Torah: "Don’t be indifferent to the blood of your brother."

It all began with indifference. We were given a great example by our forefather Abraham, who fought in the war in order to save his nephew Lot, despite the fact that their relationship was strained.

That is why I consider it my duty as a Jew to condemn abhorrent, antisemitic remarks made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who desecrated the memory of six millions innocent victims.
