An Anonymous Israeli Government Official Responds TO Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's Speech To Israel's Parliament Sunday 3/20/2022

"The war is terrible but the comparison to the horrors of the Holocaust and final solution is outrageous"

Israel's Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel Tweets In Response To The Zelensky Speech To Parliament 3/20/2022

"I attended Ukrainian President Zelensky's speech on Zoom, to express solidarity with Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. His criticism of Israel is legitimate and so his voicing of expectations from us. Not so is his outrageous and unfounded comparison to the Holocaust, and his attempt to rewrite history and erase the involvement of the Ukrainian people in the extermination of the Jews in it."

Israeli Parliament Member Bezalel Smotrich Of The Opposition Religious Zionism Party Reacts To The Zelensky Speech 3/20/2022

It was Russian President Vladimir Putin who has cited the Nazi aspect of Ukraine's society and history to justify his military actions there.

But today Israeli officials brought up the Nazi past of Ukraine in vivid reactions to the speech by Ukraine's Jewish President Volodymyr Zelensky.

They expressed sympathy for Ukraine but could not accept the language of Zelensky comparing Putin's actions to the Holocaust and his virtual denial of Ukrainian involvement in the mass murder of Jews during the Holocaust...

Send Galicia back to Poland where it belongs, and everything else will take care of itself.

Yup. And they’re still there. The Azov (NAZI) Brigade. Official unit.

“Or Armenians talk about their genocide at the hands of the Turks as a holocaust.”

I think the Turks did kill every Armenian they could find (unlike Putin), so that would lend credence to the Armenian claim. I agree on abortion, the comparison just turns people off (at least the people you’re trying to pull over), since if Hitler limited his killing to aborting Jewish babies, the world would have had a collective yawn (since that’s the case right now with the Weegars in China).

“Yup. And they’re still there. The Azov (NAZI) Brigade. Official unit.”

I was thinking the same. The closest thing to a claim of a state-sponsored pogrom is Azov, at least when one sifts out the war propaganda (lies).

And those old statues? Gotta go! Otherwise we are all racists.
See my point?

I think to make sure Israel doesn’t lose and the next Holocaust doesn’t happen to the Jewish people.

That photo of the execution and mass grave could have been that of my grandmother’s family from Lemberg, now known Lvov/Lviv. 2,500 Jews were shot in less than several hours.

All of my grandmother’s family and extended family were killed. She and her younger brother came to America in the early 1900s when Lemberg was still part of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire in the part often known as Galicia/the Pale. In fact, as a child, she saw Emperor Franz Josef when he visited Lemberg about 1909.
