@yashalevine Lolz. But in all seriousness, we can't just yell at Ukrainians. Lviv Mayor actually seems to want to do something about this. But they have no money (thanks IMF), so Jewish orgs like ADL or WJC must step forward too. But we shouldn't hold our breadth on that. twitter.com/yashalevine/st…

@LahavHarkov @SamuelSokol @yashalevine @MarkAmesExiled @hebrish @TimesofIsrael @JewishChron This horrible situation - which exists throughout #Ukraine - needs to be addressed. And we can't just yell at #Ukrainians.
Are @AndrewADL_EUR & @WorldJewishCong doing anything here? twitter.com/DefendingHisto…

When I wrote a letter to the president of #Ukraine regarding Holocaust grave looting & swastikas that I saw painted prominently on major streets in Rivne, I was simply told by #Ukrainian Embassy to the U.S. that Ukraine doesn't have an antiSemitism problem buff.ly/2MDuHaD pic.twitter.com/QhHrM8pCbH

BTW folks, lest you think the story is completely grim, there ARE people committed to preserving and restoring #Holocaust sites in #Ukraine. Here's a great recent story on a Baptist pastor who decided to devote his life to this: apnews.com/8920620fda3542…

Prominent DC Rabbi Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld on his trip to #Ukraine: "The Ukrainians themselves will surely not guard the memory of the murdered Jews, as the country is unwilling to deal with its own dark history of collaboration with the Nazis." buff.ly/2MDuHaD

Ten members of the Israeli @KnessetIL have written to #Lithuania's pres. D. @Grybauskaite_LT , pleading for the national convention center project to be moved AWAY from the old #Jewish_cemetery, i.e. applying equal respect for ALL of Lithuania's peoples: defendinghistory.com/ten-israeli-kn….

Well please accept apologies then, this must be a common misconception since AC has something called a "Digital Forensic Research Lab"? At any rate, your detailed report on ESA training Ukrainian and Neo-Nazis was an excellent piece of work - hope it gets widely read in DC!

@TarikCyrilAmar BTW, every country in Europe has its share of far right thugs & Nazi types. #Ukraine though is only nation that has such people actually integrated into its security forces. And then of course you've got Viatrovych & the state-sponsored Holocaust revisionism too twitter.com/DefendingHisto…

@TarikCyrilAmar Clearly Atlantic Council (which Bellingcat is evidently part of) has realized that there *might* be a few issues with the far right in #Ukraine: "Ukraine’s Got a Real Problem with Far-Right Violence (And No, RT Didn’t Write This Headline)" atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea… twitter.com/TarikCyrilAmar…

#Ukraine: "Kyiv's tolerance for historical revisionism is unacceptable (if unremarkable when placed alongside Hungary and the Baltic states) and its willingness to overlook the neo-Nazi affiliations of those involved in its war effort is worrying indeed." isgap.org/wp-content/upl…

Sorry to go far off topic folks, but these guys don't sound like the "moderate rebels" in #Syria I keep reading about?? "In the northern Syrian town of Harem, militants last week erected a gallows in a public square, saying it was for “frogs,” or traitors" washingtonpost.com/world/syrian-r…
