A Jewish Hanukkah menorah was vandalized during Stepan Bandera’s birthday celebrations in Lviv, Ukraine
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.

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]
Damn, some of the comments under the article give off .
antisemitism
Lots of comments didn't care or were supportive of the neo-nazis, some of them said shit about "bolshevik jews" killing 60 million people, and of course there was the typical conspiracies of jews controlling the world. What the fuck. It really sucks that a lot of people are rightfully angry at Israel but then literally denying the holocaust and equating jews with zionism, and denying that antisemitism exists.
: “Silly lefties. You should just be ok with Israel genociding all the Palestinians because Muslims hate gay people (don’t point out my own murderous hatred for them as well.)”
