Israeli lawmakers seethe at Zekensky's "outrageous" Holocaust comparisons
Times Of Israel ^ | 3/20/2022 | TOI Staff

Several Israeli lawmakers criticize Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for drawing comparisons between the Holocaust and Russia's invasion of Ukraine during his speech to Knesset members.

"I admire the Ukraine president and support the Ukrainian people in heart and deed, but the terrible history of the Holocaust cannot be rewritten," Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel tweets.

Hendel notes part of Nazi Germany's genocide of Jews "was also carried out in the land of Ukraine."

"The war is terrible but the comparison to the horrors of the Holocaust and the final solution is outrageous." he says.

Hebrew media outlets quote unnamed senior ministers railing at Zelensky's "outrageous comparison".

"Zekensky also distorted the part of his country in the murder of Jews," they say, according to the Ynet news site.

Likud MK Yuval Steinitz, a former minister, says Zelensky's speech "borders on Holocaust denial."...

Many Israeli lawmakers wanted a more honest historical picture from Ukraine's president today regarding Ukraine's Nazi-Holocaust involved past.

Instead they got the attempt to pin the Holocaust tag on Vladimir Putin and Russia.

No group of victims wants to be out-victimed by another group of victims.

So Zele is a lefty homo or anti-semitic nazi ? Help me to figure that out.

Those two labels aren’t mutually exclusive. But they are both irrelevant.

Z is watching as his people and country are destroyed. He can be forgiven a little hyperbole.

Zele is a comedian!

I thought Z was watching while Ukraine heroically fought off and defeated the Russian invaders.

This is so confusing...

In Zelensky’s he probably thought Israeli Jews were like American Jews, who yell GENOCIDE every time they see a body bag they don’t like. The problem here for Zelensky is that Israeli Jews are REQUIRED to learn what happened during the Holocaust, rather than spending weeks on the great things done by Rodney King.

Yeah, I'm a major international player bent on the suppression of truth.

Not just some dude who hates seeing bloggers rip off material.

You found me out.

A difference of opinion is what you suggest. Perhaps it is in the end.

Exactly, the Russians are killing his people and destroying his cities. You tend not to have historical perspective at a time like that.

“Hendel notes part of Nazi Germany’s genocide of Jews “was also carried out in the land of Ukraine.”

And was done with massive cooperation of Galician Ukes lead by Bandera. And military units who see him and the OUN as their godfathers are widespread in the Uke military today.
So basically, it’s the heirs of the 3rd Reich using the holocaust to gain sympathy. It’s pretty depraved... even for a comedian who plays piano with his penis.

The Holodomor is easily comparable to the Holocaust. This current invasion, not so much.

Rodney King has been eclipsed by Saint George Floyd, whose holy life and outstanding miracles outshines even that of King.

The only public place where I know of a statue to Reagan is in Budapest. But yes, Saint George Floyd is all the place.

The was only one Holocaust. There was only one Hitler. There was only one Nazi movement.

And that, my friend, is it in a nutshell.
