Rasism in action and international reaction

I was really disgust to find out that our dearest Mr. President, speaking to the Russian mass media last Friday, mentioned Jews in the contecst which was not appropriate at all, from any point of view. First, I don't think the assumption he made is true. Second, being the head of the state he has no right to say sth like that. After all, Belarus is one the countries which has brilliant examples of Jewish people who were born here and became famoust being very talented. Chagall, for example! I love his paintings! Shimon Peres, who was born in Belarus (occupied by Poles though), and now he is the President of Israel. Actually, maybe these two presidents should talk?

After all, it's still one of the biggest minorities after Russians and Poles in the country. What is he thinking about? Therefore, I am happy that Israel reacted and recalled its ambassador in Belarus back to Israel for the "consultation".
