Are you fucking kidding me? Did we all just wake up in 1938?
Really seriously flabbergasted and concerned about this.
This is terrifying and very important.
I thought this would be some sort of extreme shit or parody but
holy shit
Not exactly.
Those flyers did happen, but they appear to have been a horrible lie. All parties involved in the Ukrainian conflict have denied any desire for such a thing and no agency or personnel actually exist to handle it.
Both sides of the conflict are, in fact, blaming the other. So this was either a sick, sick prank or active but unofficial terrorization of Ukrainian Jews, quite possibly with the goal of smearing the reputation of the current authorities in the city.
Which is awful in its own right, but at least is not the real thing.
Anything going on with the Ukraine lately, be very careful to do your research, confirm and get the whole story before you pass it on. It’s a chaotic political mess, and there’s active misinformation and spin circulating from multiple sources, including the US government, which always has its own opinions on what Russia is up to. We don’t need to help confuse things even further.
