    Ukraine's nationalists protest Jewish pilgrimage

    UMAN, Ukraine (AP) — Police have detained about 100 activists of Ukraine's nationalist party who protested the annual pilgrimage of Hasidic Jews in southern Ukraine.

    About 300 supporters of the nationalist party Svoboda, or Liberty, demanded that Hasid Jews not be allowed to gather in the town of Uman, about 125 miles (200 kilometers) south of the capital.

    Close to 30,000 Hasidic Jews from around the world are expected in Uman this week to celebrate Rosh Hoshana at the grave of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav, who died in 1810.

    The protesters shouted "Ukraine for Ukrainians" at Sunday's rally.

      Jews living near the German capital Berlin are being warned not to wear items of clothing that identify their religion as fears of Christian neo-Nazi attacks rise.
      Sixty five years after the end of World War Two and the Holocaust, a leading rabbi in the state of Brandenburg is urging Jews not to wear yarmulkes (skullcaps), traditional long coats, hats or other 'identifying symbols'.
      Brandenburg, the state which surrounds Berlin, is a hotbed of neo-Nazi activity and its new chief rabbi Shaul Nekrich said its streets are no longer safe for Jews.

      Steve, one again for your pet little misinformation campaign - during the time period in question - 20 million russians were killed by Germans, 20 million russians dies as a result of stalin purges (not a jew), and 20 million died form famine, and other soviet related impacts. Your point is very tangentially supported by the fact that jews were disproportionally represented among the bolsheviks. but there are historical reasons for that which have nothing to do with your claims. So please, try to come up with something more defensible. :-).

        Don't confuse Steve with facts, it is taxing enough on his brain just being racist.

      Between the years 250 CE and 1948 CE - a period of 1,700 years - Jews have experienced more than eighty expulsions from various Christian countries in Europe - an average of nearly one expulsion every twenty-one years. Jews were expelled from England, France, Austria, Germany, Lithuania, Spain, Portugal, Bohemia, Moravia and seventy-one other countries.

        The Muslims can't stand them either. But it must be everyone on the planet's fault. No sir the jews can't be to blame. Sarcasm.

        No country likes minorities, that's the sad fact.

      Belinda, ONCE again (not even for your benefit) , the Khazar theory of eastern european jewery roots was finally proven wron in a wide ranging DNA study (June , 2010) which conclusively demonstrated that ALL jews share common ancestry in the middle east. What will it take to shut your parroting posts up ? how many more facts do you need?

      Unfortunately, most of the "Nationalist" parties in Europe have much more in common with the Nazi party, than anything else. Always remember that hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians deserted the Soviet Army and fought for the Germans during World War II. And that the Ukrainian people had the 2nd highest ration of turning over Jews to the Nazi's in all of Europe (only slightly ahead of the French).

      Yes indeed, don't let any Jews come into your country, even though they bring millions and millions of dollars into your impoverished economy.

      David Irving's association with the Holocaust-denying bishop of the Society of Saint Pius X, Richard Williamson, came to light in the wake of the bishop's rehabilitation by the Vatican after his 1988 excommunication. Williamson attended a reception at Irving's home in October 2008. The Times (UK) published early 2009 correspondence between Irving and Williamson in which the bishop requested Irving's assistance in determining “the objective truth about what happened in Auschwitz and other concentration camps.” In response, Irving provided a summary of his views on the killings of Jews during World War II, asserting that Auschwitz has been “hyped” and that it had no gas chambers, but that mass killings of Jews did occur at other camps. In his message, Irving also disparaged Jews, writing mockingly that “Though shalt have no other Holocaust than ours, that is their religion.”.

      Maximo Kahn, a German Jewish intellectual who escaped the Holocaust, wrote in 1944: “The death of the Jews is the most enigmatic of all deaths, the most accusing one indeed. During twenty five hundred years Jews have been killed instead of being allowed to die. Long before racist aspirations existed, long before faith spread around... they started to kill the Jews with so much ecstasy that natural death did not scare them at all. Violent death was thrown at them so implacably, that natural death did not give them the impression of death any more. Unnatural death became so natural, that natural death came to be for the Jews what life was for the rest. In the same way that the rest took hold of life, the Jews took hold of death as if it were life, sunshine, song of birds, flower fragrance, or love. Nothing had for them the appeal present in dying without the footprints of murder in their bodies. As a matter of fact, life was transformed into a waiting for death.

      @Kalle what is your point ?
    • Yuri  •  8 mths ago
      I was born and raised among those people. They were raised that way by their parents. Nothing you can do. There are long term, deep rooted issues that go back to Zarist times, Bolshevik revolution, Ukranian soviet famine, etc. etc. etc. Most people here have no idea about any of those. Some hear some high level things and misinterpret them (Steve - 60 million) some just like venting....

      Nationalism rears its ugly snout again. Every country has its own version. Yes, every country, without exception.

      The Germans during the 2nd World War would have been hard pressed to supply the camps with guards if it were not for the Ukrainians volunteering for the duty.

      Just as the past century has been one of great achievements it has also been one of great horror. Certainly one of the greatest, if not the greatest of these horrors, was the attempt to wipe the Jewish people from the face of the earth. It was only after the Second World War, that the full devastation of the Holocaust was brought home to Jews and non-Jews alike. Unfortunately what was not recognized by many in the post-Victory euphoria was the seemingly admiration by some of the victors of elements of Christian Nazi Germany.

      Hey, guys, I live in Odessa, Ukraine, and I can tell you this: the city of Odessa was and is still crowded with Jews for 217 years, and it does not bring any problems with it, as we have Arab Cultural Center one block from the major Synagogue, and we had NEVER had any conflicts or even hints of conflicts. Ukraine is a very peaceful country. A bunch of idiots that have caused the news does actually reflect the country's environment, don't you think? Ukraine is undergoing a very hard period right now and no one actually expects any good out of it, but still, people are very friendly and hospitable hero, as long as foreigners are behaving as tourists should anywhere in the world. We are one of those countries that suffered the most during WWII and thousands of Jews survived thanks to Ukrainians as they were hiding them in their homes. So, obviously, we cannot be the country that would hate Jews or any other race or religion. We have nazi, and let them all kill themselves before we get them!
