Israel’s ambassador to Ukraine has protested a local region’s honoring of a collaborator with Nazi Germany.
Ambassador Joel Lion condemned the Lviv region’s decision to name 2019 the year of Stepan Bandera in a statement he published Tuesday.
Lion wrote that he is “shocked” by the recent decision.
“I cannot understand how the glorification of those directly involved in horrible anti-Semitic crimes helps fight anti-Semitism and xenophobia,” he wrote.
Lviv already has a large statue of Bandera, who collaborated for a time with Nazi forces that occupied what is now Ukraine and is believed to have commanded troops that killed thousands of Jews. Kiev and several other cities have streets named for him
Jaha?
Bajs Putin har tagit död på hundratusentals människor på mindre än ett halvår.
Och du fortsätter att tjabba på om en nazi-anstruken person som dog för 100 år sedan?
Tror du verkligen att det är någon som bryr sig?
Att ditt efterblivna tramsande bidrar till någonting?
Ett klappmongo med talmanus från Sankt Petersburg?
Not so much.
