Ukraine: The “Jewish blame game”

Since the Jewish Lobby and the Ukrainian Jewish oligarchs were caught with their pants down for engineering the recent regime change in Kiev – the Jewish propagandists including Victoria Nuland, Max Blumenthal, Robert English, Abraham Foxman and Steve Weissman are crying foul. They have labeled the nationalist parties like Svoboda, Right Sector and other Ukrainian far-right organizations, as Nazis.

However, the fact is that Jewish elites, who collaborated with Nazis and Russian communists are the winners of the US-EU funded regime change in Ukraine. Israel Shamir, a Russian-Israeli Jewish writer said recently: "The oligarchs who financed the Maidan operation divided the spoils: the most generous supporter, multi-billionaire Igor "Benya" Kolomoysky, received the great Russian-speaking city of Dnepropetrovsk in fief. He was not required to give up his Israeli passport. His brethren oligarchs took other Russian-speaking industrial cities, including Kharkov and Donetsk, the Ukrainian Chicago or Liverpool. Kolomoysky is not just an 'oligarch of Jewish origin': he is an active member of the Jewish community, a supporter of Israel and a donor of many synagogues, one of them the biggest in Europe. He had no problem supporting the neo-Nazis, even those whose entry to the US had been banned because of their declared antisemitism. That is why the appeals to Jewish consciousness against the Brown putsch demonstrably failed."

My latest reading in this "Jewish blame game" is an article by Steve Weissman, a British Jewish writer and author living in Paris. I find the article is entitled; Ukraine: Will the Nazis and Jews Make Nice? very amusing, considering that Jews in Germany, Poland, Finland, Ukraine, etc. in fact collaborated with Nazis.

Weissman brings in the usual Jewish victimization card. "Hating Jews is nothing new in Ukraine. As far back as 1648-49, Cossacks and their allies in the Chmielnicki Massacres that killed more than 100,000 Jews and destroyed some 300 Jewish communities. In 1920, as American, British, and French troops were intervening against the Soviet Revolution, Ukrainians waged a massive pogrom that killed some 60,000 Jews," said Weissman.

Robert English in a recent Op-Ed at the Jewish York Times wrote: "Svoboda, Right Sector and other Ukrainian far-right organizations are groups whose thuggish young legions still sport a swastika-like symbol, whose leaders have publicly praised many aspects of Nazism and who venerate the World War II nationalist leader Stepan Bandera, whose troops occasionally collaborated with Hitler's and massacred thousands of Poles and Jews."

Of course you cannot expect Weissman or English to report the historic facts that Stalin's Jews were responsible for the Holocaust of 7 million Ukrainian Christians and 3 million Muslims in USSR, while Jews and Zionist terrorist organizations did support Nazis.

Then Weissman spouts more hatred toward Ukrainian. "As a young Jew growing up in America, I regularly heard from my Eastern European elders that the Ukrainians were even nastier than the Nazis. No surprise, then, that Jew-baiting – and worse – now haunts the new Ukrainian government that Washington and the European Union helped bring to power. How could it be otherwise?"

I must say, Weissman has point there. How could it not be 'antisemitism'  when someone oppose the new US-EU installed government of a Jew prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and one of the three deputy prime ministers being Jewish? Moscow has accused Igor Kolomoisky being a Jewish gangster who secretly finances the "Nazi Svoboda (Freedom) Party" which has five cabinet ministers in the 22-member new interim government in Ukraine.

"Other Jews, including a spokesman for the American Israel Political Affairs Committee (AIPAC), laugh off any Fascist threat by insisting that Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk is Jewish," said Weissman.

Weissman while mentioning Victoria Nuland's $5 billion price-tag to bring a pro-US regime change in Kiev – also boasted the financial and propaganda support to the "revolution" provided by the Jewish groups like Internews, Freedom House, the German Marshall Fund, the Omidyar Network, and George Soros's Open Society Institute and its Ukrainian NGO, the International Renaissance Foundation.

And finally, I must thank Weissman for giving some credit to an Afghan Muslim, Mustafa Nayem, for posting a notice on Facebook calling students and other young people to assemble in Independence Square to protest against Yanukovych's refusal to accept EU deal. "That was the beginning of the Euromaidan protests that ultimately brought the government down," wrote Weissman.
