Second Antisemitic Broadcast in a Month on Ukrainian Television Network


(February 21, 2008)

For the second time this month, the Ukrainian cable channel Antenna broadcast antisemitic statements, according to UCSJ's Lviv monitor. On February 13, the political analyst Igor Mazur spoke on the "Events, Facts, Commentary" program on the subject of Ukraine's partial rehabilitation of nationalists who fought against the USSR during World War II, some on the side of Nazi Germany. Reacting to a press conference in Moscow the day before, during which speakers blasted the Ukrainian government's recent actions on this issue, Mr. Mazur reportedly said that, "The kike-lovers and other freaks gathered in Moscow" and criticized Ukrainian politicians who "for the kike's money" betray their nation. "The task that the Jews have is not to allow the foundation of truly independent and strong states in Europe by healthy national forces," Mr. Mazur reportedly concluded. "Otherwise, their power will come to an end."
