“As far as we know, some incidents in Kiev against Jews were done, not
by people on Maidan or the parties that fought Maidan, but by Russian
forces,” said Max Yakover, a Kiev resident deeply involved in the
Euromaiden protest movement that toppled president Viktor Yanukovych
last month.
Yakover said Jews are targeted because the attacks garner wider attention.
“I think it’s because every little incident with the Jews or
anti-Semitism becomes publicized, not only in Ukraine, but worldwide. If
something happens to a Jew, the whole world will know about it in one
day, through Facebook, other social media, or Jews who work in media,”
said Yakover, a 31-year-old entrepreneur.
“Just a little incident and the whole world will speak about how
something has to be done,” Yakover said.
His assessment is consensus among many Ukrainian Jews.
“There haven’t been any anti-Semitic attacks, not from Ukraine
nationalists,” Rabbi Yaakov Dov Bleich told The Times of Israel Thursday
while with the new Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk on a quick
trip to the United States.
