“To serve its #predatory ends, the #Kremlin is exploiting the suffering & sacrifice of all those who lived through WWII & survived the #Holocaust,” the memo stated. “In the process, the Kremlin is detracting from critically important global efforts to combat #antisemitism & is instead propagating one of antisemitism’s most insidious forms, #HolocaustDistortion.”

Black Ribbon Day is a day of memorial deliberately designed to promote double-genocide theory and obfuscate the #Holocaust. Everyone should encourage East #European democracies to oppose the far right's attempts to distort #history.

Black Ribbon Day Is an Ahistorical, Antisemitic Fraud

Black Ribbon Day is also known as the Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism. But this veneer of humanistic solicitude is a facade for historical distortion and antisemitic rhetoric, perpetuated by far-right movements across Eastern Europe.

5 days ago was the #commemoration of the 1941 #Jedwabne pogrom. #Polish nationalists on Twitter cite long debunked false leads to blame the massacre on the #Germans. #IPN only located munitions that would place the Germans at the scene in 1942. Rest are from ww1-weaponry. (Mostly Russian.)

My first reply to you already covered the period of her admiration for him and other 'questionable' characters though.

I see no point in further discussing whether or not you think these statements are anti-Semitic.

People far more qualified than me have already said their piece:

Antisemitism defined: Why drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to the Nazis is antisemitic - World Jewish Congress

The motivations of those who Israeli policy towards Palestinians with Nazi policy regarding Jews are manyfold. Some seek to achieve the moral delegitimization of Israel through demonization. Some use it as a means with which to cover up for Nazi crimes during the Holocaust and expunge guilt by arguing that they were and are a common phenomenon and are now being perpetrated by many Israelis and Jews themselves.
