Zionist-Putinist alliance against "falsification of history"

"[There is an] ongoing campaign to rewrite WWII history by mitigating Nazism, insisting that communism's evils be proclaimed "equal" to Nazism, and trashing the Allied war effort as one that did nothing but replace one tyranny with another "equal" one in the east," writes Dovid Katz, professor of Judaic studies at Vilnius University and research director at the Vilnius Yiddish Institute.

The peoples of eastern Europe suffered enormously under communism for decades after the war, while we westerners were enjoying unbridled freedom and prosperity. It is absolutely right that they should now call for thorough investigation of the crimes committed by communist regimes. But the demand that the entire EU declare Nazism and communism to be "equal" is something else entirely.

The east European cabal's greatest success to date is the Prague Declaration, which demands that the EU recognise communism and fascism as a "common legacy", and that "all European minds" think that way. Its practical demands include a new Nuremberg-type tribunal for trying the criminals of communism and, unbelievably, a demand for the "overhaul of European history textbooks."

The entire "red-equals-brown" movement within eastern Europe panders to base instincts. It has hit upon a convenient way to stigmatise not only "Russians", but also today's Russia. These nations have every right to fear Russia, but this legitimate concern must not be compromised by the attempts of some at historical falsification and the peddling of contemporary racism and antisemitism.
