“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. . . .

Does Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy agree with this depiction of Mila Kunis?
@David Lucas–
