In an effort apparently aimed at helping to defeat the current administration in Ukraine, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an op-ed published in the “New York Times” supported the opposition–the same opposition that signed a coalition agreement with a party reportedly named after the Nazi party and whose head is anti-Semitic, according to the website “Breitbart.”
On Ukraine, Hillary Clinton says:
“Ukraine’s parliamentary elections at the end of this month will be an important bellwether for the state of these institutions. At the moment, there are some worrying trends, as confirmed by the latest interim report by the election observation mission of the O.S.C.E.’s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights.”
In the “Breitbart” article, author Ben Shapiro writes, “Hillary isn’t wrong about election issues in Ukraine. But her timing is extraordinary. By chiming in just before the Ukrainian parliamentary elections, she hopes to throw the election from current Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich to his opposition.
“Even though she admits that Ukraine has been pursuing a ‘broader reform agenda,’ the piece is a deeply negative gloss on Yanukovych’s administration.
“There’s only one problem: the Ukrainian opposition is tight with Russia. As we wrote last week, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko is an ally of Vladimir Putin; even former Orange Revolution leader and Tymoshenko ally Victor Yuschenko has condemned Tymoshenko for her corrupt ties to the Putin regime. Hillary’s getting started on her “flexibility” plan for Russia a bit early.
“But it gets worse than that. Not only is Yanukovich’s opposition pro-Putin, it reportedly allies itself with open anti-Semites, according to Interfax, a Ukrainian news agency. The head of the Israel-Ukraine inter-parliamentary association, Israel is Our Home Party MP Alex Miller, came out yesterday to condemn the opposition for signing a coalition agreement with the Svoboda All-Ukrainian Union. The agreement would put Svoboda into the governing coalition. The head of that party, Oleh Tiahnybok, has claimed that ‘Ukraine was occupied by the Jews, rather than the Germans,’ and the party itself is reportedly named after the Nazi Party.”
“Breitbart” quotes Miller saying that he cannot imagine how opposition political parties in Ukraine, who describe themselves as democratic, could sign an agreement with such “odious” personalities.
“Israel and Ukraine have in recent years established great relations, and tourism and trade are growing. If politicians like Tiahnybok come to power, they can start putting a spoke in our wheel and stop the expansion of ties between [Israel and Ukraine],” Miller told Breibart.
In the article, Shapiro writes: “But this doesn’t seem to bother Hillary Clinton in the slightest. Of course, associations with anti-Semites never has. It’s no surprise to see the woman who once hugged Suha Arafat shilling for a Ukrainian opposition that makes governing deals with reported Nazi knockoffs.”
