Nazis Honor Ukrainian SS On Holocaust Memorial Day

Neo-Nazis Honor Ukrainian SS on Holocaust Memorial Day As the March of the Living commenced Monday in Poland, in honor of Holocaust Memorial Day, another type of march commenced in Ukraine: a march of Neo-Nazis supporting the Waffen, the Ukrainian version of the SS. Around 500 neo-Nazi supporters marched in Lvov to commemorate the creation of the 14th SS-Volunteer Division ‘Galician’ on April 28, 1943, according to RT. Many of the demonstrators bore the SS Galician divisional insignia - a yellow lion and three crowns on a blue background - and wore nationalist shirts with the Ukrainian colors. But far from being an extremist show of nationalist pride, the slogans protesters chanted openly supported the ‘Native Land’ and ‘Student Brotherhood of Stepan Bandera’ radical organizations, according to the outlet. Demonstrators cried “SS Galician Division!," “Glory to the nation – death to enemies!," and “Bandera and Shukhevich are heroes of Ukraine!” according to UNIAN news agency. The march ended earlier than expected due to the chants after locals submitted a slew of complaints; the march's organizers apologized. Local media noted that while neo-Nazi supporters fueled the marchers, none of the actual surviving members of the Waffen participated in the hate march. Moscow has repeatedly leveled allegations of anti-Semitism at the authorities in Kiev, accusing them of being controlled by far-right groups that played a prominent role in protests to oust Kremlin-backed president Viktor Yanukovych.The unrest in Ukraine has brought with it a rise in anti-Semitic attacks on the region's Jewish population, highlighted by such events as the stabbing of the Deputy Commander of ZAKA Kiev and Hatzalah Kiev Chairman Rabbi Hillel Cohen. Last month, several more prominent anti-Semitic incidents made headlines, after Nazi-esque leaflets were allegedly distributed asking Jews to "register their religion" and a Ukrainian synagogue was firebombed. Last week, a band of pro-Russian militants also attacked a Jewish-owned bank, ostensibly over political differences. Source: Israel National News My comments: Antisemitism is anti-God and anti-Christ.
