And they call us antisemitic?
Not sure whats so anti-semitic about that.
This is a sentiment that is widespread in israel as well. we got a phrase that, in free and broken translation, goes something like "we were being like lambs that were lead to the butchers", its a common belief and fact that jews did not oppose hitler and nazism as strongly as they should have and except a few small pockets of resistance, the majority of the jews were fooled by the notion that everything would be ok, or that the nazi party would actually turn out good for them (as i said, there were many delusional rabbis that issued manifestos that supported the Nuremberg Laws because they thought it would bring the jewish communities closer and would prevent the further integration and secularization of the jewish people that started in the "Enlightment/Haskala" age in germany.)
When i see jewish rabbis issue confused statements like "Svoboda leaders promised me everything would be ok" i can't help but think that this rabbi is not too different than those, now probably dead, rabbis in germany.
I know there's not a chance of it happening now, because the times are different and i am pretty sure ukraine can't mess with israel, but if somehow svoboda gain enough power and start rounding up jews, those rabbis should take part of the blame.
