“Polit­i­cal language…is designed to make lies sound truth­ful and mur­der respectable, and to give an appear­ance of solid­i­ty to pure wind.”

COMMENT: Indica­tive of the lev­el of igno­rance and venal­i­ty dri­ving pub­lic response to war in Ukraine is a tweet from actor Ash­ton Kutch­er, mar­ried to fel­low thes­pi­an Mila Kunis, who was born in Ukraine.

Kutch­er tweet­ed “I stand with Ukraine.”

Almost exact­ly nine years ago, a Ukrain­ian mem­ber of parliament–Igor Miroshnichenko–called Kunis a “Dirty Jew­ess.” (The term has var­i­ous translit­er­a­tions.) Miroschnichenko was a mem­ber of the Svo­bo­da Par­ty, one of the OUN/B suc­ces­sor par­ties that plays a key role in con­tem­po­rary Ukraine.

Pro­fes­sor Ivan Katchanovs­ki has done an exhaus­tive study of the Maid­an sniper killings of pro­test­ers and has proved that the lethal fire came from build­ings occu­pied by Svo­bo­da.

” . . . . A Mem­ber of the Ukrain­ian Par­lia­ment from the far-right Svo­bo­da Par­ty [Igor Mirosh­nichenko] … sneer­ing­ly pro­claimed that [Kunis] was not Ukrain­ian but a zhy­dov­ka. This deeply hurt­ful slur for a Jew was an alarm­ing gut­ter effort to inject Jew-hatred into the accept­able bounds of main­stream Ukrain­ian dis­course.

. . . . The most dis­turb­ing aspect of the sto­ry was the reac­tion from the Ukrain­ian min­istry, which claimed that there is noth­ing wrong with call­ing Kunis the female ver­sion of a ‘dirty Jew,’ because the word is in their dic­tio­nary. . . .”

Nev­er under­es­ti­mate a “Half A Man.”

Celebri­ties and polit­i­cal fig­ures have been voic­ing sup­port for Ukraine since Rus­sia invad­ed this week.

Now comes anoth­er famous face with a per­son­al con­nec­tion to the besieged nation, actor Ash­ton Kutch­er.

“I stand with Ukraine,” the star tweet­ed late Fri­day. . . .
