Anti-Semitic Fliers in Eastern Ukraine: Obama Endorses a Forgery, Supports Neo-Nazi Parties | Global Research
On Friday, April 18, President Obama voiced his righteous
indignation over anti-Semitic fliers pasted on synagogue walls in the
pro-Russian eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk. The fliers, calling on
all Jews to register or face expulsion, had appeared the day before and
were instantly denounced by Donetsk leaders as a gross provocation and a
forgery.
The next day, however, Obama “expressed his disgust quite bluntly”.
At least, that is what his hawkish national security advisor, Susan
Rice, told the public. “I think we all found word of those pamphlets to
be utterly sickening, and they have no place in the 21st century,” she declared.
This presidential reaction occurred 24 hours after the
pamphlet in question had been thoroughly denounced as a fake, not only
by the Donetsk leader, Denis Pushilin, who said his signature on the
document had been forged, but by local Jewish community leaders and even
byThe New Republic, which cannot be accused of indifference to anti-Semitism.
