as an ukrainian, I personally fully support State of Israel.
There is no "good terrorism". And never was.
Hamas should be destroyed. No exceptions.
Palestinians can go fuck yourself with this kind of actions.
עם ישראל חי!

In case anyone wanted to know what a Tryzub Magen looked like. To me it looks so natural like that. The only company that makes them that I've found, Dadiverin, is in Ukraine. They have a bunch of other Tryzub designs too if the Tryzub Magen doesn't catch your fancy. As usual, give them the benefit of the doubt if it takes a while to get your item. They are, after all, located in Kyiv. They have helpfully provided a chart of average shipping times, as well, on their page.

This Yom HaShoah, I would like to shine a light on an issue that the neo-fascist Russian state has attempted to hijack and spin into a justification for war crimes and ethnic cleansing of the Ukrainian people: the Holocaust in Ukraine. 
Ukraine lost 1.2 million Jews during the Holocaust, a casualty number second only to Poland. They would be some of the Holocaust’s first victims. Ukrainian towns which had prewar Jewish populations as high as 60% saw their Jewish populations decimated, with many of the survivors becoming Russified. Today, the majority of Ukrainian towns which were once called shtetls have no Jewish inhabitants. 
«Бесголосся» (Wordless) is an 18-minute documentary by the Ukrainian NGO Після Тиші (After Silence), a historical and anthropological organization dedicated to breaking the taboos and silence around Nazi and Soviet violence in Ukraine. Through discussions with non-Jewish survivors of the Nazi occupation in the town of Turka (Турка) in Lviv Oblast, «Бесголосся» explores both Jewish heritage in Ukraine and non-Jewish Ukrainian memory of the Holocaust while challenging Russian fakes and antisemitism.
The film is in the Ukrainian language, with subtitles in Ukrainian and English. Click the links below to watch.

‘Wordless’ - A documentary about the Holocaust in the Lviv region
May the memories of all those lost during the Holocaust in Ukraine be a blessing.

I really hope that the pro-Russian propagandists won’t touch this post but I’m genuinely curious about what feelings does the Ukrainian red and black flag invoke in the Poles & Ukrainian Jews on this site.
Does it make you uncomfortable & have an immediate association with Bandera/ the OUN or are you fine with people trying to reclaim it for the Ukrainian resistance movement in a broader sense?
(A reblog would be appreciated)

Quote
Putin now feels betrayed by Jews around him and by the Jewish world as a whole: 1. Few Russian Jewish personalities have supported his military campaign against Ukraine. 2. Russian Jews have been disproportionately hostile to the military campaign against Kyiv. 3. Russian Jewish emigration has by far exceeded that of other ethnic communities in the Russian Federation. This threatens Putin with a brain drain and is viewed by him as a personal "Dolchstoß". 4. Many visible leaders of resistance to Putin's plans are Jewish: Zelensky, the famous artist Pugacheva who has recently fled to Israel because of her Jewish husband and countless oligarchs and influential bloggers and intellectuals.
This is a quote that actually comes from an article where the author tries defending Israeli neutrality towards Russia. Yet this author first has to admit that within the Russian Jewish world, this war extremely unpopular. (The oligarch Roman Abramovich, who has a long history of corruption, is against the war, though some suspect that it’s because he was sanctioned.) The author also has to admit that Putin’s blackmail of Russian Jewish agencies and threats towards Russian Jews who want to leave constitute ‘latent antisemitism’. So really, this author is contradicting his own untenable argument for Israeli neutrality towards Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.

Hey, everyone. On February 24, 2022, Russia commenced their illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine following six years of conflict between Russian-backed separatist groups and Ukrainian forces in Crimea and Donbas. one year later, the Russian offensive has not stopped, and Ukraine continues to face shelling, rocket fire, and bombardments on both military and civilian infrastructure. the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian people are on the line as Russia descends further and further into fascism and military dictatorship. 
Russia has continually used the excuse of “denazification” in Ukraine to justify their criminal and imperialist war in Ukraine. As a Ukrainian-American Jew whose grandparents fled a Ukrainian shtetl in Podillia during the 1920s, I say that this is a disgusting, perverse, and wholly cynical manipulation of Ukrainian-Jewish historical trauma for the gains of an imperialist power. My relationship to Ukrainian nationalism is complex, but I know one thing for sure: Russia doesn’t give a shit about Jews. If they did, they wouldn’t be using the Neo-Nazi-infested Wagner PMC, and they wouldn’t be shelling Jewish heritage sites. Hundreds of years of Jewish culture and history are in danger of destruction by Russian artillery fire. In March of 2022, the memorial at Babyn Yar ravine outside of Kyiv, which was the site of the single largest massacre of Jews during the Holocaust by the Nazis and their collaborators, was hit by Russian artillery. 
Russia does not care about Ukrainian Jews. Russia does not want Ukrainian Jews to see themselves as Ukrainian at all; it wants to undo the decades of bridge-building that have taken place between non-Jewish and Jewish communities in Ukraine. In the end, Russia wants to see the complete annihilation of both groups.
To every Ukrainian, Jewish and not, I wish you strength, hope, and courage in the beginning this second year of invasion. And to every Russian government official, vatnik and Z-fascist who supports the war, I wish you nothing more than oblivion.

This is going to sound very Jewish but I think the gribenes have been integral to the healing process.
