Putin accuses Israel of aid to Yushchenko

Putin says Israel funded Yushchenko victory.

I think Bloggledygook said it perfectly:

Notable here is the implication that Putin doesn’t consider Russian aid and support to be foreign per se.

Indeed. And I’m not sure how anti-semitic Russians are, but this might be aimed at mobilizing people against Yushchenko on the basis of distaste for Jews or Israel. It has been a mighty political tool in the past. Can anyone comment on this?
