NATO 2023 IN LITHUANIA: RIFE WITH POLITICAL PITFALLS

With the shadow of the Shoah, NATO heading for an unseemly summit

By Grant Gochin

Capital Crimes. Beyond the imagery of NATO’s upcoming summit in Lithuania’s capital, Vilnius, lies troubling truths.

At the upcoming NATO summit to be held in Vilnius in July 2023, the government of Lithuania will likely take the foreign heads of state and delegations to the customary locations of national historical importance. But will they also reveal to these NATO dignitaries that these same sites hide the truth of collaboration of Lithuanians in the mass murder of Jews during the Holocaust?

Watching the US Beat Iran from Jerusalem

By Jonathan Feldstein

Blue & White. The writer enjoyed the symbolism and irony of the Israeli colours in the clash between the USA and Iran.

Watching on TV the highly politically charged World Cup match between his native USA – “The Great Satan” – and the Republic of Iran from his home in “Little Satan”  Israel, there was far more at play to the writer then a ball traversing a green field in the brown arid desert of Qatar.

RUSSIA’S ‘DENAZIFICATION’ LIE AND THE WHITEWASH OF ROMAN SHUKHEVYCH

Journalist charged with spraying ‘Actual Nazi’ on a statue in Canada highlights Ukraine’s complicity in Nazi crimes

By Dr. Efraim Zuroff and Prof. Per Anders Rudling

A Bust to Brutality. The defacing of a statue is leading to increased scrutiny of Ukrainian hero as a murderer of Jews.

While police in Edmonton, Canada recently brought charges of vandalization of a monument honoring Roman Shukhevych – a revered fighter in the struggle against the Soviets – beneath the veneer of the criminally ‘offensive’ red graffiti, lay the statue of a bloody mass murderer of Jews. The writer – a top Nazi hunter – breaks it all down.
