Snip:

A Hanukkah menorah in Lviv, Ukraine was vandalized by an unknown perpetrator as nationalists celebrated the birthday of World War II Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera, according to police and a video circulating on social media.

[…]

The menorah, a symbol of Hanukkah, was installed last month at the ruins of the Golden Rose Synagogue, which was destroyed by the Nazis after the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. The menorah commemorates the Jewish community of Lviv, which became the target of Adolf Hitler’s genocidal policy after the start of Operation Barbarossa.

    Damn, some of the comments under the article give off i-am-adolf-hitler.

    antisemitism

    Lots of comments didn’t care or were supportive of the neo-nazis, some of them said shit about “bolshevik jews” killing 60 million people, and of course there was the typical conspiracies of jews controlling the world. What the fuck. It really sucks that a lot of people are rightfully angry at Israel but then literally denying the holocaust and equating jews with zionism, and denying that antisemitism exists.
