I am interested in learning of his policies, what he said and did, state of the left movement in Belarus as well as position of the country on the world stage and in the eyes of the non-western countries.

    I don’t know anything about Lushashenko but calling him an anti-semite over those two quotes show how right he was in the first one.

      So just to be clear, in the first quote, Lukashenko states that the Jews “made” the world remember the Holocaust, as if it wasn’t something to remember in its own right, only something to be remembered after some kind of big Jewish campaign. A conspiracy, one might call it.

        That’s one way to look at it.

        Another way is: You can’t say anything about Jews. If you say anything remotely negative about Jews you’re immediately tagged as an anti-Semite.

        I can hate Evangelicals, I can hate Christians, I can hate Muslims but if I hate Jews it’s over for me.
