By Micah Halpern
Sunday December 16, 2018 I've Been Thinking: The Ukrainian government has declared 2019 the Year of Honoring Stepan Bandera. Ukraine will celebrate the 110th year of his birth. Bandera was a Ukrainian nationalist who lived from 1909 - 1959. The problem with this celebration is that Bandera was also a notorious mass murderer of Jews during WWII who joined forces with the Nazis. Under Bandera's leadership and direction Jews were "removed and relocated" which means - murdered. In Ukraine Jews were murdered in mass killing pits. The Israeli ambassador to Ukraine, Joel Lion, stood up and protested celebrating this murderer as a hero. He was shocked by the government’s decision and said: "I can't understand how the glorification of those directly involved in horrible anti-Semitic crimes helps fight anti-Semitism and xenophobia. Ukraine shouldn't forget those crimes committed against Ukrainian Jews and in no way celebrate them." Read my latest book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
