For somebody who's supposed to be a seasoned diplomat, he sure is spewing some ridiculous stories... while completely failing, once again, to point the finger in the right direction -- the Nazi origins of the CIA, and the fact that Zelensky works for the CIA (and, therefore, for Nazis).

Is Lavrov merely an incompetent seasoned diplomat (a contradiction in terms, if I ever saw one), or actually guilty of intentionally destroying Russian diplomacy?

I've been using ax extremely simple test to determine which it is (incompetence or guilt) with some local politicians here, and it goes like this: Anybody who is not speaking against the CIA is working for the CIA.

Hint: they all failed that test, both in government and in opposition.

So, with this being Lavrov's third strike, unless I hear him telling some (genuine) CIA Nazi stories, I'll be forced to conclude that he's survived, and thrived, in Russia since 1990s (when CIA installed Boris Yeltsin) by working for the CIA.

As for people of J origin working for Nazis in WW II, there are plenty of examples.

One's nationality has never stopped a person from being a shitty, despicable human being.

Just look at George Soros.

Also of J origin, yet he openly bragged about being proud of his Nazi-collaborating father, and the fact that he learned everything from his father... namely, how to steal from, and ruthlessly exploit his own J people.

If I ever saw a living, breathing J Nazi, that would definitely be George Soros (and, I'm guessing, all his descendants).
