(Jewish Group) Ukrainian Jews Angry and Appalled at Putin's 'Denazification' Claim




Ukrainian Jews expressed outrage Thursday after Russian troops entered their country on a self-declared mission of “denazification” after claims that Kyiv was actively carrying out war crimes against its own citizens.

Not just Ukraine: 'Putin uses Iran to make America look weak.' LISTEN
President Vladimir Putin stated in an address to the Russian people on Thursday morning that “the purpose of this operation is to protect people who, for eight years now, have been facing humiliation and genocide perpetrated by the Kyiv regime.

“To this end, we will seek to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians – including against citizens of the Russian Federation,” he said, condemning “far-right nationalists and neo-Nazis in Ukraine.”

Shortly after the speech, the Ukrainian government's official Twitter account posted a depiction of Adolf Hitler proudly caressing the face of Putin. It wrote: "This is nto a 'meme,' but our and your reality right now."

It plays to Putin's allies on the extremes of the political spectrums in other nations.

There are still some of those types here, they are just cagier. If, however, they can call Jews Nazis, even in a situation like this, they jump at it.

I am.

And not that I'm asking for putins help, but I think the US is in need of denazification more than the Ukraine.

I'm angry and appalled in between feeling distraught and with bad forebodings.
