Snip:

A Hanukkah menorah in Lviv, Ukraine was vandalized by an unknown perpetrator as nationalists celebrated the birthday of World War II Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera, according to police and a video circulating on social media.

[...]

The menorah, a symbol of Hanukkah, was installed last month at the ruins of the Golden Rose Synagogue, which was destroyed by the Nazis after the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. The menorah commemorates the Jewish community of Lviv, which became the target of Adolf Hitler’s genocidal policy after the start of Operation Barbarossa.

    Yes, for now the Western mass media (especially US/British/Canadian mass media) is in radio silence mode about Ukrainian Nazism. Even though as recently as the late 2010s they would occasionally acknowledge its existence. But for now, they are back to a combination of total silence and complete denial of its existence.

      Putler would really love you pointing this out when Ukraine is so so close to winning the war for real this time

      Just like their coverage on Syria following HTS taking control over the country. Liberals love to pretend to be against rightists, but the mask truly drops when it involves [bad country] or [target minority here]
