Ukraine plans to open diplomatic office in Jerusalem in violation of international law

Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk said in a speech Thursday that his country recognises Jerusalem as Israel's "one and only capital", and is preparing to open a branch of its embassy in the city next year.

The Eastern European country's top diplomat made the comments at an event marking 30 years of Israel-Ukraine ties.

Comment: With Israeli weapons making their way into Ukraine and over to its neo-Nazi militia, the two countries have quite the friendship.

Jerusalem Affairs Minister Ze'ev Elkin, who grew up in Ukraine, said he hoped the country would open a branch in the contested city.

According to the Times of Israel, Elkin presented Korniychuk with a 2,700-year-old artefact bearing the word "Jerusalem" in Hebrew at Thursday's event, after which the Ukrainian diplomat made the unprepared remarks.

Comment: One can safely assume that it's a fake.

In a clarification he made later, Korniychuk said the plans were not official, but that he had discussed the matter with Ukraine's leader in October.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is expected to visit Israel next year, spoke earlier on Wednesday at the two-day virtual forum celebrating Israeli and Ukrainian relations.

"We know what it means to defend one's own state and land with weapons in hand, at the cost of our own lives," said the leader, whose country is locked in a simmering conflict with Russia over its territorial integrity.

"Both Ukrainians and Jews value freedom, and they work equally for the future of our states to become to our liking, and not the future which others want for us. Israel is often an example for Ukraine," he added.

Former US President Donald Trump moved the US's embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in 2018. Guatemala and Kosovo soon followed, while Serbia has declared its intent to move theirs.

US President Joe Biden has said he does not plan to move the US embassy back to Tel Aviv, but says he will move forward with plans to reopen a US diplomatic office in occupied East Jerusalem to serve Palestinian citizens of Israel.

Both the Israeli and Palestinian leadership have long claimed Jerusalem as their capital, an issue neither side has been willing to concede.

Israel deems all of Jerusalem its undivided capital - a status not recognised internationally.

It captured the city's east, along with the West Bank and Gaza, in the 1967 Middle East war and has occupied the territories ever since.

Israel is often an example for Ukraine.

What kind of example? How to commit genocide of your neighbours and steal their land? How to attack a US ship and kill all aboard, when they are supposed to be friends?

Since 2014, almost the entire Ukrainian Duma has been Jewish. Poroshenko = Jew. Zelensky = Jew. Ukrainian Christians have been suffering under the economic and political dominion of Jews for a thousand years. 95% of Israeli Jews are Ashkenazim, who originated in the Khanate of Khazaria in the first millennium AD. (Google 'Khazaria'.) Its territory stretched from Kiev across southern Russia to the Caspian Sea. They were pagans, who converted to Judaism in the 9th Century. The Ashkenazi Jews of Israel are a Turkic race who have not a single drop of Semitic blood in their veins. They have as much valid claim to Palestine as the Hottentots of Africa.

Lemuel Gulliver A death, Cain and Abel

A separation of family and the beginning of All that's known as Evil started in the creation of Mesopotamia.

To underpin this mythical monster, they? The Jews, would have mankind believe that God revealed himself to someone called Abraham.

It's a shame there wasn't a film franchise opportunity going at the time, they'd have made millions.

Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, founder of the European Jewish Parliament and a major supporter of the Chabad Lubavitch sect, refers to Ukraine as the "second homeland of the Jews". During the Russian empire, the territory was known as the "pale of settlement". Odessa, home of Vladimir Jabotinsky, was a center of Zionist agitation and the city was called the "gateway to Zion":

"From the 1880s until the 1920s the Jewish community of Odessa was the second largest in the whole of Russia... By the 1840s most of the bankers and moneychangers were Jews, and at the beginning of the 20th century, 70% of the banks of Odessa were administered by them... From the inception of the Hibbat Zion movement, Odessa served as its chief center... The Benei Moshe society (1889), which attempted to organize the intellectuals and activists of the movement, was established in Odessa... Jewish emigration from Russia to 'Eretz Israel' (aka Palestine) also passed through Odessa, which became the "Gateway to Zion" -- Jewish Virtual Library [Link]
