Russian / Ukrainian History You Probably Never Knew > Is Naziism reviving in Ukraine? Argentina to release Post WWII Nazi files

 

Mainstream media dismisses NeoNaziism in Ukraine as a Russian propaganda program. But MSM is a far cry from being honest when it comes to Russia or Ukraine.

Israel hits out at Ukrainian glorification of WWII Nazi collaborator

People tend to “not check what happened in the past,” acting Ambassador to Russia Alexander Ben Zvi has said

Israel opposes Ukraine’s glorification of World War II Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera, the Jewish state’s acting ambassador to Russia, Alexander Ben Zvi, has told TASS. In comments published on Monday, Ben Zvi confirmed that Israeli authorities are aware of the Bandera cult in Ukraine and have raised the issue with Kiev.

Bandera was a leader in the militant Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and headed the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) during World War II. The group collaborated with Nazi Germany to massacre over 100,000 Poles, Jews, Russians, and Soviet-aligned Ukrainians.

Despite the UPA-ordered genocide, Bandera and other UPA members were declared national heroes by former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko in 2010 – a designation reaffirmed by the current Kiev leadership. Ukrainian nationalists continue to celebrate Bandera with annual torchlight marches, referring to him as the “father of the nation.”

“We have stated this more than once. It’s just that people do not check what happened in the past. Our ambassadors to Ukraine even wrote notes of protest at one time,” Ben Zvi said when asked to clarify Israel’s stance on the issue. He added that the Israeli Foreign Ministry is “well aware” of the matter.

His comments appear to contradict recent remarks by Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar. At a press briefing marking Israel’s presidency of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) earlier this month, Sa’ar said he was unaware of Bandera’s veneration in Ukraine.

“First of all, I didn’t know about it. I will check it,” the minister said, adding he would issue a condemnation “if there is a necessity.”

Israel’s Foreign Ministry and its embassy in Kiev have issued several statements denouncing Ukraine’s honoring of Nazi collaborators over the years. However, no such statement has been made since 2022, with embassy officials telling Haaretz they “have made our position clear many times, but apparently there is nothing we can do, at least at the moment.”

German media told to conceal Nazi symbols in Ukraine – Moscow

Moscow has repeatedly warned of a Nazi revival in Ukraine and cited “denazification” as one of the main goals of its military operation against Kiev. Western media and officials, however, have downplayed Nazi imagery in Ukraine, often dismissing criticism as “Russian propaganda.”

Argentina to release Nazi files

“No reason” to withhold information about the protection the country extended to fugitives after WWII, a senior official has said

Argentina plans to declassify government documents concerning Nazi fugitives who found sanctuary in the Latin American nation following Germany’s defeat in World War II.

The commitment to transparency was announced on Monday by President Javier Milei’s chief of staff, Guillermo Francos, during an interview with the TV channel DNews. He said the president made the decision after a meeting last month with US Senator Steve Daines, who strongly advocated for the public release of the files.

Francos stated that the president believes “there is no reason to withhold information” about the protection afforded to Nazis in Argentina, adding that most of the documents slated for release are housed within the Defense Ministry. Some of the files pertain to financial matters involving services from Swiss banks, he added.

According to estimates, as many as 10,000 war criminals utilized so-called ‘ratlines’ to escape Europe and settle elsewhere as the Axis powers fell on the continent. Around half are believed to have chosen Argentina – a nation known for its reluctance to grant extradition requests — as their refuge.

Among those were Holocaust architect Adolf Eichmann and infamous death camp doctor Josef Mengele. Eichmann was captured by Israeli intelligence operatives and taken to Israel for trial, while Mengele drowned in 1979 after suffering a heart attack.

The influx took place mostly during the first presidency of controversial Argentinian leader Juan Peron, whose government from 1946 to 1955 explicitly supported Nazi exiles. Peron pursued a policy that mixed elements of authoritarianism and populists components that critics believed was influenced by fascism.

Milei’s pledge to unveil the Nazi files follows an earlier decree aimed at accelerating the release of records concerning the Argentine armed forces’ actions during the military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983. The tumultuous period, known as “the last junta,” began with a coup against Isabel Peron, the president’s widow and successor, when his second term was cut short by his death in 1974.

The junta conducted a brutal crackdown on political dissent, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and disappearances. Presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni said that the government seeks to prevent political manipulation of this tragic period through complete disclosure.

Shock and Outrage as Masked Antifa Crowd Blocks and Shouts at Elderly Couple in Canada

Antifa - the #PCMadness police are leading the 'Cancel Culture'

Several Antifa members crowded around an elderly woman with a rolling walker, blocking her from crossing a street outside a college in Canada, where they held a rally against a local MP, ending with scuffles and arrests.

The ugly scene took place amid a loud Antifa protest outside Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario on Sunday. Video of the event, shared on social media, shows an elderly couple attempting to cross the street on a marked crosswalk as four masked protesters deliberately loom over them, blocking their path.

Soon, Antifa will be blocking people from voting as it makes a shambles of democracy.

The couple remained calm, seemingly trying to reason with the protesters. One incensed activist appears to be screaming at the woman in response and later makes an aggressive hand gesture to the man accompanying her.

Antifa protesters scream at & block elderly couple outside an event featuring conservative politician @MaximeBernier & @RubinReport. Further violence broke out, leading to two arrests. Mohawk College had faced massive campaign to cancel the event. 

The Antifa activists had their faces hidden by scarves and hoodies during the exchange, while one wore a ski mask. Other activists could be heard shouting “Nazi scum – off our street!” It is unclear how the argument between the protesters and the elderly couple started, and whether they let the couple go in the end.

"Nazi scum - off our street" is remarkably like the Nazi attitude toward Jews in pre-WWII Germany. Curious how things get twisted around like that. It should be against the law to cover your face like that unless you are on a ski hill or in a blizzard or there's an air quality alert.

The treatment of the couple, nevertheless, sparked outrage on Twitter. “This makes me sick,” one person wrote.

“The poor woman couldn’t even walk by herself. Do these guys think there (sic) tough for picking on the elderly?” another commenter said.

Antifa activists showed up outside Mohawk College to protest against politician Maxime Bernier, who was holding a fundraiser there. After briefly serving as foreign minister in the late 2000s, he quit Canada’s Tories last year to form the right-wing People’s Party, and currently serves as its sole MP.

Bernier advocates for stricter immigration laws and strongly opposes what he calls the “extreme multiculturalism and cult of diversity” of incumbent liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. This predictably triggered the ire of Antifa, who have turned up to protest at several of Bernier’s events across the country.

Sunday’s rally was marred by sporadic scuffles between the protesters and Bernier supporters. Police intervened, arresting four people.

Editor Of Kuwaiti Daily Calls To 'Rescue The World From The Persian Nazism'

In a September 17, 2019 article titled 'Rescue the World from the Persian Nazism,' Ahmed Al-Jarallah, editor-in-chief of the Kuwaiti English-language daily Arab Times, wrote that the issue of confronting Iran is no longer just a matter of thwarting the Persian expansion project but a matter of countering a threat to global security. In this situation, he said, American and European notions of going back to the Barack Obama policy of rapprochement with Iran are no longer feasible; the world must act to ensure a steady supply of oil at reasonable prices, for a failure to do so will result in a global recession. Al-Jarallah added that a failure to respond to Iran's aggression will be a degrading surrender, even more humiliating than the 1938 Munich Agreement with Nazi Germany, which led to World War II.[1]  

The following is his September 17 article, as it appeared in Arab Times.[2]

Ahmed Al-Jarallah (source: Arab Times, Kuwait)

"The issue of confrontation with Iran has gone beyond self-defense and thwarting the Persian regional expansion project, over which the Arab coalition forces are clashing with Houthi gangsters in Yemen, to threat against global interests and stability.

"For this, the equivocal and softening doors policy behind political skirmishes and crossfire for possible US-Iranian summit on the sideline of the United Nations General Assembly meetings is no longer an election tool through which President Donald Trump can win military opposition votes for war in his country.

"There is no more room for European mediation on the issue of relationship with Iran. The world either defends its interests to ensure oil supply at moderate prices or succumb to the state of terrorism by allowing the Mullah regime, which stakes success in blackmail, to dictate the pace.

"The nature of attacks on Saudi oil facilities in Abqaiq and Khuris with pieces of evidence gathered by the United States and satellite images absolutely ruled out the possibility that the Houthis carried out the attacks. This is because they do not have such capabilities and the distance is far. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Twitter: 'The proofs affirm that the attacks did not emanate from Yemen,' so he accused Iran of being behind the attacks on Saudi Arabia.

"This means Iraq or Iran is behind the attacks and the international community must take drastic action. Failure to do so will bring about recurrence of the 1973 scenario in a more volatile way. Shortage of oil supply from Saudi Arabia specifically, and the Arabian Gulf generally, may lead to global economic recession which will be unbearable for the West regardless of the rate of strategic reserve in America and others.

"In the era of satellite which surveys the world every hour; there is no secret, especially in the area of rockets, their bases and paths. Therefore, any global effort to thwart response to the attacks amounts to degrading surrender to the devilish Mullah regime. It will be more degrading than the Munich pact that gave German Nazism the opportunity to violate many countries and pushed for the World War in which 80 million people died. Every reasonable person understands these facts and knows where the lack of action may lead to, most especially if the price of a barrel of oil exceeds $100.

"It is possible to thwart the Iranian terrorism right now through serious international punishment, which will assist citizens repressed by the Mullah regime to topple the system. However, any compromise by going back to the Barack Obama type of policy, when he ignored the chemical bombing in Syria, will give birth to tens of terrorist groups similar to DAESH; in addition to making the world a victim of Iranian threat. Will the international community accept being controlled by the terrorist gang and new Nazism?

"This is an official question for the international community, part of which is trying to exploit the situation to remarket the Iranian Mullah internationally."
