Thread: Lukashenko calls Jews "dirty", Israeli ambassador returns home

Minsk - Israel's ambassador to Belarus has returned home after authoritarian Belarus leader President Aleksander Lukashenko called a once predominantly-Jewish city in his country 'a pigstye.'


Ambassador Zeev Ben- Ari returned less than a week after October 12 remarks by Lukashenko to Russian reporters in Minsk, during which the Belarusian leader argued Slavic ethnicities such as Belarusians and Russians took better care of their cities than ethnic Jews.


'Have ever been to Bobrusk, have you ever seen what state the city is in? It was terrifying to go inside, it was such a pigstye,' Lukashenko said in a statement supporting his government's high priority on picking up trash and cleaning city streets.

The Rest Of The Story...

I think I remember hearing of a similar incident a few years back.

For those who didn't know, Belarus literally means White Russia.
It's very encouraging to hear that the demographics and racial attitudes are healthy in Belarus. The best of luck to them.
