“Why are benefits given to women and not Ukrainians?”: the trial in Kolomyia ended in an anti-Semitic quarrel
A local court hearing in Kolomyia in western Ukraine ended with an ugly anti-Semitic incident on the part of nationalist “activists” who came to court, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was reported on his social network page by the director of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee, Eduard Dolinsky, who published a video of an altercation between aggressive “activists” and judges after they ruled in favor of the Jewish community of Kolomyia and ordered the authorities to dismantle an illegally installed Christian cross on the site of an old Jewish cemetery. .
“Just look at this nightmare! “Wives, zhdov’s pennies, who paid you, this is our land, shame, you live in our country, in my city - I am the law, why does a Ukrainian at home have to prove something, why do women have advantages, and not Ukrainians, hundreds of our patriots, you are a seller of Christ” - this is footage of a court of appeal hearing on the claim of the Jewish community of Kolomyia against the illegal renaming of a Jewish cemetery into a public garden,” Dolinsky writes on his page on the social network.
“Jews have nothing to do with this land!” “Is there any evidence that Jews are buried there?” the activist shouts. He is the one shouting about the old Jewish cemetery in Kolomyia, where these activists erected a huge cross in memory of the police who killed Jews. This is how the Jewish pogroms took place in Kolomyia in July 1941, only then the activists had a free hand,” added the director of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee.
According to him, in Kolomyia, the head of the local Jewish community, Yakov Zalischiker, is suing for the honor of the Jewish community and confronting “especially dangerous activists.”
