When Ethnic Cleansing & Genocide Is Acceptable

Those who think that Israel is guilty of genocide as if that is something unique to the Middle East, are obviously blind to the the entire region of the Balkans and Ukraine. This is the motherland of ethnic cleansing and genocide that the Western Press is paid to ignore. Trying to achieve peace in the Balkans may be more difficult than getting it to snow in Hell. The Balkans’ ethnic tensions stem from a mix of historical, political, and cultural factors that have compounded over centuries. Ukraine may not be in the Balkans and is technically part of Eastern Europe, the same ethnic hatreds that dominate the Balkans including ethnical cleansing is part of the dark side of Ukraine that cannot be ignored if we hope to even attempt to craft peace moving forward.

The Ustaša regime, officially known as the Independent State of Croatia (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska, NDH), was a fascist puppet state established during World War II, from 1941 to 1945, under the control of the Ustaša movement. Led by Ante Pavelić, the regime was aligned with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy and ruled over parts of modern-day Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia.

SPREAD THE LOVE Ethnic Cleansing

Those who think that Israel is guilty of genocide as if that is something unique to the Middle East, are obviously blind to the the entire region of the Balkans and Ukraine. This is the motherland of ethnic cleansing and genocide that the Western Press is paid to ignore. Trying to achieve peace in the Balkans may be more difficult than getting it to snow in Hell. The Balkans’ ethnic tensions stem from a mix of historical, political, and cultural factors that have compounded over centuries. Ukraine may not be in the Balkans and is technically part of Eastern Europe, the same ethnic hatreds that dominate the Balkans including ethnical cleansing is part of the dark side of Ukraine that cannot be ignored if we hope to even attempt to craft peace moving forward.

The Ustaša was a Croatian ultranationalist and fascist organization founded in 1929, with a violent ideology centered on creating an ethnically “pure” Croatian state. When Axis powers invaded Yugoslavia in April 1941, the Ustaša was installed by Germany and Italy to govern the NDH. Stepan Andriyovych Bandera (1909–1959), the hero of Ukraine, adopted the exact same policies of killing anyone who was of not Ukrainian blood to achieve the exact same result – a purged national state of pure-blooded Ukrainians the same as Adolf Hitler. The Ukrainian National Hero was far worse than anything out of Israel. Bandera carried out genocide against the Polish, and US intelligence protected him.

The NY Times showed the Ukrainian Nazis executing a woman and throwing her child in the pit alive to die along side his mother because they were ethnic Jews. There are documented accounts of cutting babies out of the womb and sewing in a live cat that even horrified the German Nazis. It is embarrassing to be on the wrong side of history all because the Neocons, bloodthirsty vampires themselves, harbor this same ethnic cleansing for Russians inherited from Bandera.

Bandera’s legacy remains polarizing: revered by some Ukrainian nationalists as a freedom fighter, condemned by others (especially in Poland, Russia, and Jewish communities) as a fascist and war criminal. After WWII, the Soviets repeatedly demanded Bandera’s extradition as a war criminal. The U.S. Army’s Counterintelligence Corps (CIC) refused, hiding his location in the American occupation zone of Germany. This allowed Bandera to operate freely in Munich for 15 years, plotting anti-Soviet actions. While not a CIA operation (the CIA formed in 1947), it set the stage for Cold War intelligence use of Ukrainian nationalists.

As long as Bandera hated Russians, it did not matter how many hundreds of thousands of Jews he exterminated, all of his crimes were forgiven only because he was killing Russians as well. The US continued to support the very policies of Adolf Hitler, they just focused on Russians instead of Jews.

Yes, Ukraine has a Neo Nazi problem. A problem that the Western Ukie war cheerleaders will do their best to hide and never admit. Time to wash our hands, the sooner the better.

This article fails to mention the greatest “ethnic cleansing” in human history. Approximately 18 million ethnic Germans were expelled from eastern Europe in the brutalist fashion. Approximately 2 million perished; mostly women and children. This was done with the agreement of the American and British governments. In addition approximately 2 million Soviet citizens were forced to return to the Soviet Union’s gulag.

Yeah, I remember the story where the Brits turned a number of Cossacks over to the Soviets. Certain imprisonment and death.

That’s why I call the UK “Perfidious Albion”, and am not much surprised by the grooming gangs having free run of things there.

Ethnic Cleansing & Genocide is always supported by an underlying justification no matter the source...

No, Ukraine does not have a "neo-Nazi problem." Like in the US, the actual number of genuine "neo-Nazis" in Ukraine is tiny and politically irrelevant. It would be a little odd for a "Nazi state" to have a Jew as President, would it not?

Like Croats with the Ustasha in Croatia, many Ukrainians view Bandera's group with rose-colored glasses, believing the claims of Jewish and Polish persecution to be Soviet lies. Not surprising after decades of Soviet oppression.

The Ukrainian fury against the Jews was driven by two factors. First, for centuries, Ukrainians were serfs working for Polish landlords. These landlords preferred to live in cities far away from their Ukrainian landholdings. They would lease their estates to Jewish syndicates for a fixed rent. The syndicates were then free to extort as much as they could in addition from the peasantry as long as the rent was paid. It didn't take a lot of this to go around before the Jews in general were hated as much as the Poles by the Ukrainians. Second and probably more important was the Soviet invasion of Eastern Poland. In many places, the Jews welcomed the Soviets as an alternative to the German occupation. Needless to say, this wouldn't have endeared them to their gentile neighbors, either Poles or Ukrainians.

For example, as the Polish state collapsed before the German and Russian onslaught in 1939, I have not read of any Polish pogroms against Jews. Jews were noted in the Polish press for having gone "above and beyond" to help Polish defenses, especially around Warsaw. But as the Germans moved East in 1941, in the interregnum between Soviet and Nazi occupation, the locals in several Polish villages in the East and in Lwow vented their fury on the local Jewish population. Similar events (even more brutal) took place in Lithuania and Latvia as well.

It's a complicated history where Poles have oppressed Ukrainians, Ukrainians Poles, the Russians everyone else, and the Jews by everyone else. And at the moment the only group continuing to wage a war of Nazi-like rape, murder and looting are the Russians.

I love how the author fails to state that Bandera himself was under arrest by the Nazis at the time because he refused to cooperate with them. The idea that Bandera was leading a pogrom against non-Ukrainians is a myth invented by the Soviets. Some here, however, find that it is still useful.

The author backhandedly puts out as his first line that Israel committed genocide, and then goes on to talk of what other people did in the past without mentioning the Mideast or Israel again. In point of fact, Israel did NOT commit genocide, not by a long shot. Israel was (is?) fighting a war, and in all wars innocents die - and under international law, blame for that is assigned to the country that started the war. Unless, that is, the victim country engages in war crimes, which Israel did not. In fact, Israel went out of its way, and lost more of its own soldiers, because it was trying to AVOID civilian casualties.

But why should Armstrong bother to mention those facts? Instead, he leaves the genocide charge just hanging there, the PIS.
