| [IsraelTimes] 20-year-old Hasidic Jew and his father say they are ’ready to kill Russian soldiers’; force of 400 Ukrainians poised to repel expected attack on Dnipro Until just a few months ago, David Cherkaskyi was finishing a degree in cybersecurity, praying at his Chabad synagogue, and posting selfies from his travels across the Jewish world. Now, he’s standing by in his hometown of Dnipro, Ukraine, "ready to kill Russian soldiers." |

| #8 Mussolini’s Italy, Denmark and Sweden, Hungary until the Nazis finally invaded in 1944 refused to participate, but no others come to mind at the moment. I think Finland was similar but don't really remember the details. |

| #7 Caroline Glick is a smart lady, but it’s not fair to single out Ukraine for turning on their Jews — nearly all the countries of Europe participated enthusiastically. Mussolini’s Italy, Denmark and Sweden, Hungary until the Nazis finally invaded in 1944 refused to participate, but no others come to mind at the moment. And goodness knows Russia is in no position to point fingers, with imperial Russia’s Pale of Settlement, and Soviet Jew-hate couched as anti-Zionism, anti-cosmopolitanism, and anti-religiosity rather than straightforward antisemitism. Not to mention, as Rob Crawford points out, Stalin’s Holodomor. She does make several good points about the entirely elevated response, and how Putin came to invade in the first place. A lesson for President Putin in relying on the weak response of weak leaders who are not polling well, one he may not recover from. |

| #4 That's the problem with reading Twitter, everyone that doesn't agree and fall in line with the western academia Bolsheviks are Nazis. It has little meaning other than 'othering'. |

| #3 Somebody should tell Putin that he loses credibility with all this NAZI talk. Stick to the paranoia about NATO. We can kinda sorta believe that. |

| #2 Caroline Glick calls bullshit on the Russians-bombed-Babi-Yar disinformation campaign https://carolineglick.com/russia-the-virtue-signalling-west-and-israel/ Russia, the Virtue-Signalling West, and Ukraine By Caroline Glick On Wednesday evening, Israeli journalist Ron Ben-Yishai reported from Kyiv that the memorial site at Babi Yar is unharmed. For a full news cycle Tuesday, Ukraine’s leadership from President Volodymyr Zelenskyyy down a report of an alleged Russian bombing of the site where Ukrainian and Nazi forces massacred 33,000 Jews in two days in September 1941 as a means to demonize Russia. They also used the alleged Russian bombing to whitewash Ukraine’s record of massive collaboration with the Nazis in the genocide of Ukrainian Jewry during the Holocaust. Ukraine’s obscene and cynical exploitation of Babi Yar and the Russian bombing that didn’t happen, must serve as a lesson to Israel that there’s much more gray than black or white in the war between Russia and Ukraine." |
