Today, as a Ukrainian-Jewish and a scholar of the Holocaust, I feel deeply ashamed. I never could have imagined that in my country — the country where the Nazis murdered 1.5 million Jews, the country of Babyn Yar, the very symbol of the Holocaust in the Soviet Union, a country that claims to be fighting for “freedom and democracy” — a Nazi collaborator and OUN leader like Andriy Melnyk would be buried with full state honors. Men under Melnyk’s leadership served in the Auxiliary police under Nazi. They hunted Jews hiding in attics, basements, forests, and barns, desperate to survive the Holocaust. They guarded ghettos and camps. They marched Jews to execution sites. And they took part in the shootings alongside the Germans. By the spring of 1943, the Holocaust in Ukraine was nearly complete. The Jewish neighbors were gone — murdered before the eyes, and often with the assistance, of Melnyk’s followers. And it was precisely then that Melnyk supported the creation of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, whose members swore an oath to Adolf Hitler. And today, the president of my country — a man whose own relatives were murdered by the Nazis — kneels before the coffin of this Nazi collaborator. One could hardly imagine a greater humiliation for Jews. It is a humiliation for everyone who once believed that “Never Again” meant something in contemporary Ukraine — a country where militant ethnic nationalism increasingly dictates the politics of memory, and national identity.

Here is Danielle Smith’s response to Carney calling the referendum a “dangerous bluff” Carney in my opinion should never have said what he said. He needs to stay out of Provincial matters and let the process proceed without his rhetoric.

Something gloriously Indian about the US Secretary of State receiving his official farewell courtesy of the nearest police station’s Sub Inspector.

How Russia Is Running a Peacetime Economy During Wartime

⚡️⭕️ Iran's uprising against Global Terror is under reported. For the 87th night in the revolution square in Tehran(and many other cities): People's fervor in Tehran's Enghelab Square about 3 hours after midnight on the eighty-seventh night

@AMK_Mapping_ You need to understand Russia in order to understand their statements. They make a great deal of diplomacy. Lavrov called Rubio to explain why the attack on Kiev 2 nights ago. Believe it or not, Russia is still talking diplomacy with NATO bastards.

"Here's an idea: let's tell them what we intend to target ahead of time so they can position their air defences effectively."

Local and family sources report that the Israeli targeted assassination strike on the new Hamas leader Muhammad Awda was successful, with his wife dying in the attack too. This would mean that every single member of the entire pre-war General Staff structural tree of Hamas' armed wing "Al-Qassam Brigades" has officially been killed by Israel.

Over the past week, 116 attempts by Ukrainian Armed Forces drones to cross the border with Belarus have been recorded. All of this is being presented as “accidental incursions,” but in reality, there have been attempts to strike elements of border infrastructure.

🕯 Starobelsk, LPR. May 22. A Ukrainian terrorist attack claimed 21 young lives (most of them girls born in 2006-2007) & left 60+ people injured. Unlike cowardly @BBC & @CNN, 51 real journalists came to see the site for themselves & speak to witnesses. This is what they saw.

47-Year Itch: Neocons Craving for War with Iran

The EU has said it will maintain its diplomatic presence in Kiev unchanged, despite Russia's warnings. Well, apparently they've got diplomats to spare and need to trim the headcount.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 "The strike on the college in Starobilsk was not an accident; it was a targeted terrorist attack" — Russia's former Defense Minister Shoigu "Weapons with such range and precision cannot operate without SATELLITE support. Therefore, there was reconnaissance, there was targeting, there was input of coordinates, meaning it was not an accident, and I cannot call it anything other than a terrorist act"
