  If the shoe fits.

  Within the mythology of East European nationalists, particularly but not exclusively in the Baltics and western Ukraine — where there was massive local participation in the actual killing of Jews, usually by shooting at local pits rather than by deportation to faraway camps — the Bogus moral equivalence of the Holocaust has been from the time of the actual massacres the myth that the Jews were all Communists and got what they deserved because Communism was every bit as genocidal as Nazism.

  Incidentally, this is one reason many of us, while not condoning Russia’s illegal invasion are not huge fans of Ukrainian nationalists.

    Sometimes people who fight for a noble cause, like liberation from the Soviet Empire, are not perfect people and sometimes even endorse evil in other areas. Doesn’t make the cause any less noble.

      So “massive local participation in the actual killing of Jews, usually by shooting at local pits rather than by deportation to faraway camps” is just an “oopsie woopsie fucky wucky” that can be brushed aside because… why, exactly?
