UofA set police upon peaceful anti-genocide protestors, accepts money from genocidal israeli's, and cancels donations from a Ukrainian WW2 vet that suffered genocide from both russians and nazis. The UofA should take a class on morality and ethics.

“Amongst my classmates, there was much debate as to how to best defend Ukraine and stop the Soviets/Russians from coming back to our homeland,” Yaroslav Hunka said. “Some argued for joining the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. Others believed that joining the newly formed Galicia Division of the German army would be more effective because of access to German armaments, munitions and training.”The elder Hunka said he opted for the latter due to his “hatred” of the Russians, who deported a favourite uncle to Siberia and massacred political prisoners before being driven out by the Germans. He said he never participated in or witnessed any war crimes, but said as a schoolboy he heard about nazi massacres of Jews from his village.
