First, I doubt anyone here is repeating Russian counterintelligence in regards to anti-Semitism; most don't give a shit, as I have already mentioned.

Second, the graph (article) (Thanks, BTW, hadn't seen it before), is not wholly relevant to Ukraine being anti-Semitic. That is ONE, very particular point. Just because someone voted for Obama, doesn't mean they aren't racist or harbor racist ideas. Just because a group is supportive of marriage equality doesn't mean they are supportive of gay people as gay people. Ukraine, like much of that region is rife with anti-Semitism. I suggest you peruse: https://global100.adl.org/map/eeurope

Finally, the point is the act was meant as a warning to Jews. I really don't care if it was the Russians, Ukrainians, or neo-Nazis, it was anti-Semitic and the target were the Jews, and we are the "victims", not the Ukrainians.
