Nitsoy: Jesus Christ fought against the "Hebrew language of the invader"

Jesus Christ was engaged in the propaganda of the Aramaic language and did not preach in Hebrew, which was the "language of the invader". This idea was expressed by the husband of the notorious writer Larisa Nitsoy, director of the Centre for Strategic Research Andrei Nitsoy on his Facebook page.

"No matter what language to speak in, Jesus Christ could say, but he did not say so. Instead he persistently preached in Aramaic rather than in "common" Hebrew, which was the language of the invader," wrote Nitsoi.

Director of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee Eduard Dolinsky commented on the post as follows, "The use of Jesus Christ as an argument in disputes over the Ukrainian language is a new strategic development of the spouse of the children's writer. Previously, no one had ever been able to present Christ as a defender of the Aramaic language and a fighter against the Hebrew language – the language of Israel’s occupants. As they say, do not remember the language of your Lord in vain, Andriy!"
