| Burning people alive isn't cool no matter what. Burning traitors alive is a different issue, although no less humane. sigh The Bandera argument. I lived in East Ukraine for several years and they're not all hoo rah rah about Bandera at all, so I don't buy the "all Ukrainians worship Bandera THEREFORE they're all Nazis" argument. It's lazy, frankly. Bandera also spent most of WWII in prison, by the way. The Israel Times "article" is a poorly researched blurb, not an article. It also says that Ukraine started an armed conflict with Russia in 2014, which is a very Putin-esque take on what the rest of the world sees as an unlawful annexation of sovereign Ukrainian territory. Was Bandera a hardcore Ukrainian nationalist? Yeah. Remember that Wikipedia article you're citing to me?: "Ukrainian nationalism did not historically include antisemitism as a core aspect of its program and saw Russians as well as Poles as the chief enemy with Jews playing a secondary role." Does that mean people in WWII were angels? No. Is history much more nuanced than you're making it out to be? Yes. Also, not sure where you're getting that 50,000 number from at all. |
The west shook hands with Nazi defence ministers and sent them weapons.
That’s a good thing, right?
