Michal Bilewicz Haaretz, Mar. 24, 2022 “The paradox of Putin’s rhetoric is that he accuses Ukraine of “Nazism” while simultaneously using antisemitic tropes to stigmatize Russians who oppose his war and support Ukraine.” “Listen to what the Kremlin says. Just listen! Now the same words [Nazi terminology] are being used again, the Final Solution, but […]
Robert Horvath The Conversation, Mar. 21, 2022 “No less important is the role of neo-Nazis and other right-wing figures in Russia’s onslaught against Ukraine.” Many commentators have already debunked Russian President Vladimir Putin’s absurd claim to be waging war to “de-nazify” Ukraine. Some have pointed out the far right received only 2% of the vote in Ukraine’s […]
David Matas The Globe and Mail, Mar. 23, 2022 “Vladimir Putin’s Russia, despite its general repression, tolerates the Russian Imperial Movement, a neo-Nazi, antisemitic, armed white supremacist organization, designated by the U.S. as a terrorist entity. In their current invasion, the Russians have bombed, in Kyiv, Babi Yar, a site memorializing the mass killing of […]
Allan Ripp NBC News, Mar. 5, 2022 “Nowadays, Ukraine counts between 56,000 to 140,000 Jews, who enjoy freedoms and protections never imagined by their grandparents. That includes an updated law passed last month criminalizing antisemitic acts. Unfortunately, the law was intended to address a pronounced uptick in public displays of bigotry, including swastika-laden vandalism of synagogues and Jewish memorials, and eerie […]

Jonah Jeremy Bob Jerusalem Post, Mar. 16, 2022 “Ukraine has previously informed the IAEA that regular staff have continued to operate the Zaporizhzhya NPP and carry out their day-to-day work, but that its management is under the control of the commander of the Russian forces there. In today’s update, the regulator said it had been […]
Melanie Phillips Israel National News, Mar. 18, 2022 “Russia’s top state-controlled energy company Rosatom is set to cash in on its $10 billion contract to expand Tehran’s Bushehr nuclear plant.” In his address to the U.S. Congress this week, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky told U.S. President Joe Biden in a plea for American air defenses against Russian […]
Hugh Hewitt Washington Post, Mar. 19, 2022 “The new version of appeasement is belatedly arming Ukraine while empowering Putin (and paying him indirectly) in the deal taking shape with Iran in Vienna.” Neville Chamberlain was a good man, though vain, and when he died, Winston Churchill — who replaced Chamberlain as British prime minister — eulogized […]
Jennifer Hiller WSJ, Mar. 22, 2022 “The U.S. has met Russia’s assault on Ukraine with economic penalties targeting Russia’s financial sector and a ban on oil imports into the U.S., but so far, uranium has avoided sanctions. The U.S. relied on Russia and its allies Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan for about 46% of its needs in 2020, according to the […]

Walter J. Boyne Group Historians, 2013 “The political ramifications involved not only the relationship of the United States with Israel but also with the Soviet Union, the Arab countries (particularly Egypt), and NATO members.” On 6 Oct. 1973, while the State of Israel observed the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, war burst upon the […]
