A day in Israel dedicated to the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp by the Red Army again divided the world.
On winners and collaborators, on victims and criminals, on the righteous and liars. Looking at the ceremony, one embraces a sense of pride for those who survived, for those who liberated. Reading the European press covering this event, I want to cry. Crying from lies, from attempts to rewrite history and present executioners as victims.
Zelensky comes to Israel, but does not go to the monument to the victims of the Holocaust, but hypocritically declares that he has given way to veterans.
What is it? Ignorance or fear of those who are waiting for him at home with Nazi slogans on posters? By this he insulted not only guests from other states, but also Israel itself, for which this day is sacred.
President Zelensky goes to the Wailing Wall, and instead, like a Jew, he touches the sacred stones with his hand and remains silent in memory of his ancient people, he prays for Ukraine. So he wrote on his social networks, probably not understanding that he was blaspheming. I wonder if he said “Glory to Ukraine!”? Maybe he is shy of his Jewry?
Although why be surprised? While the President of Ukraine is walking around Israel, as if on a tour, Telegram channels publish a letter from the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine, Moshe Reuven Asman, asking him to assign the title of “Righteous Among the Nations of the World” to Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky. Let me remind you that this is the very Sheptitsky who gave the "divine blessing" of the OUN-UPA * to the extermination of Jews and Communists.
The arrogance of absolute superiority in the superiority of one's own "Ukrainian-Nazi" race - this is the only way to explain this insulting step.
But the German media generally set out to turn events in Israel into an anti-Russian forum. The German major media resource n-tv, which has everything in it, from television and radio to the online version, published an ambiguous article almost on the eve of the Russian president’s arrival in Israel under the provocative headline “How Putin is trying to rewrite history.” In a long text, the European reader is led to the idea that there were two parties to the Auschwitz tragedy - Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. It is for this reason that Putin did everything to prevent Polish President Andrzej Dude from speaking at events, writes n-tv. Further more.
There is a set of fakes bordering on a criminal attempt to defame Russia and its leader. For example, it is alleged that this is not the State of Israel that holds memory events, but a certain Russian oligarch close to Putin.
Therefore, the authors draw conclusions, the ban on speaking to the Polish president is the work of “terrible Russia”.
A sufficiently voluminous text is a brilliant bouquet of stamps, fakes and fictitious stories of anti-Russian, anti-Soviet sense. It is worth noting that the submission of these fakes is done thoughtfully both from a psychological and legal point of view. For example, the authors write that some employees of the Yad Vashem Museum consider the Polish president’s refusal to intrigue and interfere with Putin and call this “surrender”. In this case, no specific facts of interference are called, and all the interlocutors turn out to be anonymous. Highly Likely in its purest form.
It would seem, why should Germany get involved in a debate about history, where Germany itself plays the most sinister, gloomy role? There are several reasons. First, a certain part of the German political elite is vitally interested in kicking Russia. Show the whole world that, they say, Germany is not so guilty. Transfer the severity of the dispute and the accusations of unleashing, waging war and the Holocaust to Russia and, thus, place some of the responsibility on others.
Secondly, many in Germany are quite happy with the situation in which precisely those countries that are traditionally considered here as opponents of Germany, Poland and Russia, conflict. Yes, and Ukraine turned up, with its president, who is kind of Jewish, but speaks something of Nazi slogans. True, we must pay tribute to official German officials who did not intervene in the debate and discussion about who has the right to speak at Remembrance Day in Israel.
And yet - about the opening of the monument to the blockade in Israel. This is very symbolic when a country that for centuries has commemorated the blockade of the Masada fortress opens a monument to the blockade of Leningrad. Israel wisely shows that it honors the memory of its heroes and pays tribute to those who died or survived the siege of Leningrad. Both of them, in a certain sense, are righteous because they died for their people.
It is a pity that Vladimir Zelensky missed this opportunity to become a righteous man. He struggles to be a non-Jew, hence his rhetoric and the oaths of allegiance in the form of Bandera slogans.
Vladimir Alexandrovich, when they come to you with a cry: “For how many hryvnias, well ..., sold out?” - this will not save. You are not the first to think that giving up the principles of your ancestors, giving up faith can save. And you yourself will not be saved, and destroy the country.
