Zelensky urges Jews to shout as Russia ‘erases’ Ukraine: ‘Nazism is born in silence’

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday urged Jewish people around the world to speak up as he accused Russia of of seeking to “erase” Ukrainians, their country and their history.

“I am now addressing all the Jews of the world. Don’t you see what is happening? That is why it is very important that millions of Jews around the world not remain silent right now,” said Zelensky, who is himself Jewish.

“Nazism is born in silence. So shout about killings of civilians. Shout about the murders of Ukrainians.”

In a video address, the Ukrainian leader said a Tuesday missile strike on a target at the site of a Holocaust massacre shows that “for many people in Russia our Kyiv is completely foreign.”

[Samrob]

2. I so wanted to day that myself. I only asked if anything was heard for Israel?

No responses.

3. Good question. Good point. N/t

9. Israel has remained neutral so far because of their relationship with Russia.

I saw an article on this a few days ago. I’ll try to find it.

The fewest most powerful words possible.

14. They are in a tricky spot

Israeli & Russian forces both operating in Syria, Israel lets Russia know when a airstrike is happening to avoid fratricide, probably afraid if they get on Russia's naughty list Russia may start shooting down their planes. After the Russian strike on the Jewish Holocaust memorial in Kyiv, Babyn Yar though I am surprised they aren't joining in, that had to have made voters in Israel unhappy.

4. He is smart to make direct pleas.

He wants the attention of the whole world, so far he has it.

5. And this line of discussion seems to have no impact

On the main stream media. This story line was not a Priority.

kind of sad really when you consider all the history.

6. Israel claims they support Ukraine but won't send weapons

and won't condemn Russia.

They've send humanitarian assistance like medicine. And have facilitated immigration to Israel for Jews who want it.

They're not going to be much help otherwise. Naftali Bennett is right wing.

7. Israel speaks for all Jews?

[Behind the Aegis]

12. To some here, YES!

The thing is, for all those "concerned" about Israel's reaction, we know they'd be the same ones screeching if Israel did get involved in any military capacity. It never, and I mean, never, surprises me how many times when "JEW" is brought up, people look for a way to condemn or blame Israel.

[AZLD4Candidate]

15. I noticed that too.

8. K&R!

13. Jewish organizations around the world have sprung into action.

I am being barraged by requests for donations, both monetary and other. If anyone wants they can read Jewish media and see this situation is being taken very seriously and watched VERY closely. It has been for months!
