LXII No. 44 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, OCTOBER ЗО, 1994 75 cents CANADA WELCOMES PRES1DENT KUCHMA OF UKRA1NE by Christopher Guly Special to The Ukrainian Weekly OTTAWA — The Canadian government pulled out all stops to welcome Leonid Kuchma. Unlike his predecessor, Leonid Kravchuk, who visited Canada in September 1991, before Ukraine declared its independence from the former Soviet Union, President Kuchma was welcomed to Ottawa on October 23 with full state honors. Mr. Kuchma became the first Ukrainian head of state to visit Canada; that country also is the first to be visited by the newly elected president. However, little attention was focused on the president's arrival by the local and national media in Canada, ironically, the largest Ukrainian-related media story came through an American ТУ program, CBS's "60 Minutes," which focused on alleged anti-Semitism in independent Ukraine. in Ottawa, security was especially heavy for the Ukrainian president's arrival at Uplands Military Air Base, in addition to several Royal Canadian Mounted Police p!ainclothes officers, the Ukrainian delegation itself included 1 1 security personnel to the president. Foreign Affairs Minister Gennadiy Udovenko arrived with his own security guard.

The following talk was given by George Critchlow on April 25, 2006 at Temple Beth Shalom in Spokane, Washington in honor of Yom Hashoah, the annual remembrance of the Holocaust. Critchlow, an associate pro- fessor at Gonzaga University School of Law and a founder and former director of the Gonzaga Institute for Action Against Hate, was selected by the congregation to represent the “righteous gentile.” Professor Critchlow would like to acknowledge the helpful ideas and background information presented at the Amnesty International USA Lawyers’ Conference at the University of Washington School of Law on February 17-18, 2006. In particular, he was inspired by John Shattuck’s presentation titled “The Legacy of Nuremberg: Confronting Genocide and Terrorism Through the Rule of Law.” I have enormous respect for Temple Beth Shalom, what it stands for, its congregation, and those individuals whom I have come to know and count as friends. I am deeply honored and privileged to be invited to speak to you on this Day of Remembrance–especially in light of the occasion to recognize the 60 years that have now passed since the establishment of a new rule of law and accountability regarding war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Military Tribunal in 1946. I have a poster hanging in my office that frequently catches my eye and reminds me to connect my heart with my head. It is a picture of a small child of uncertain ethnicity, running happily, arms out, into the smiling face and open arms of his mother.

    Kyiv, Ukraine: the City of Domes and Demons from the Collapse Of

    Roman Adrian Roman Cybriwsky Kyiv, Ukraine is a pioneering case study of urban change from socialism to the hard edge of a market economy after the Soviet collapse. It looks in detail at the changing social geography of the city, and on critical problems such as corruption, social inequality, sex tourism, and destruction of historical ambience by greedy developers. The book is based on fieldwork and an insider’s knowledge of the city, and is engagingly written. Roman Adrian Cybriwsky is Professor of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, USA, and former Ukraine Kyiv, Fulbright Scholar at the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy. He divides his time between Philadelphia, Kyiv, and Tokyo, about which he has also written books. “Roman Cybriwsky knows this city and its people, speaks their language, feels their frustrations with its opportunist and corrupt post-Soviet public figures Roman Adrian Cybriwsky who have bankrupted this land morally and economically. He has produced a rich urban ethnography stoked by embers of authorial rage.” — John Charles Western, Professor of Geography, Syracuse University, USA “Kyiv, Ukraine is an interdisciplinary tour de force: a scholarly book that is Kyiv, Ukraine also an anthropological and sociological study of Kyivites, a guide to Kyiv and its society, politics, and culture, and a journalistic investigation of the city’s darkest secrets. At this time of crisis in Ukraine, the book is indispensable.” — Alexander Motyl, Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University, USA The City of Domes and Demons “Filled with personal observations by a highly trained and intelligent urbanist, Kyiv, Ukraine is a beautiful and powerful work that reveals from the Collapse of Socialism profound truths about a city we all need to know better.” — Blair A.

    Antisemitism: a Persistent Threat to Human Rights a Six-Month Review of Antisemitism’S Global Impact Following the UN’S ‘Historic’ Report

    Antisemitism: A Persistent Threat to Human Rights A Six-Month Review of Antisemitism’s Global Impact following the UN’s ‘Historic’ Report April 2020 Summary In October 2019, Dr. Ahmed Shaheed, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, expressed alarm about a significant increase, since 2017, in reports of hostility, discrimination and violence motivated by antisemitism around the world.1 This report surveys antisemitic incidents that have occurred in the six months since Dr. Shaheed presented his report on the subject of antisemitism to the UN General Assembly. Alarmingly, antisemitic expression and violence appear to have persisted – and even increased – in a number of countries around the world between October and April 2020, notwithstanding efforts by governments and other stakeholders to implement Dr. Shaheed’s recommendations. The cases and trends highlighted in this report reveal that antisemitism remains a phenomenon that impairs the security and the human rights of many Jewish individuals, including the right to manifest their religion, and that it also threatens the rights of members of other minority communities and democratic societies as a whole. Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, in many countries, conspiracy theories claiming that Jews or Israel engineered or are deliberately spreading the virus, as well as age-old antisemitic tropes associating Jews with disease, have been spread in traditional media and online. Occasionally, Jewish people, communities, and institutions have been subjected to antisemitic harassment and threats of violence; in a few cases, antisemitic rhetoric seems to have played an important role in motivating attempted violent attacks against sites and individuals, Jewish and non-Jewish alike.

Is the level of antisemitism higher among Muslims than among non-Muslims? This paper will discuss European surveys on antisem- itism and compare attitudes between Muslims and non-Muslims. It is based on the review of surveys from nine countries with more than 40,000 participants, including almost 13,000 Muslims altogether. While no comprehensive study has been conducted on an international comparative scale and most national studies focus on selective samples such as certain ethnicities or student groups, a review of the available surveys shows a clear tendency: antisemitic attitudes are signifi- cantly more widespread among Muslims than among other segments of European societies.

    Islamism and Antisemitism. Preliminary Evidence on Their Relationship from Cross-National Opinion Data

    Islamism and Antisemitism. Preliminary Evidence on Their Relationship from Cross-National Opinion Data Arno Tausch Corvinus University, Budapest; Hungary and Innsbruck University ABSTRACT What do we really know about mass support for Islamism? And what is its connection to antisemitism? Our analysis of these questions is based on promax factor analytical studies based on openly available cross-national survey data. First, we analyze the determinants of what led representative global World Values Survey (WVS) global Muslim interview partners to reject to have a Jewish neighbor, which is the only available WVS item to measure antisemitism. We also identify the extent of relationships between antisemitism, the economic and social situation, religion data, and opinions on terrorism among global Muslim publics based on the global Pew Research Centre surveys. Finally, we re- evaluate Arab Barometer survey data on ‘moderate Islamism’ and its relationship to antisemitism. All our new quantitative evi- dence supports the hypothesis developed in this essay from the literature that Islamism is deeply connected to antisemitism. Our data also indicate that Muslim dissatisfaction and dissent with society, often mentioned as the drivers of Islamism, are in fact connected to Muslim secularism and a distance from Islamism. Channeling this dissent in secular left- and right-wing protest parties would be an important future task in the stabilization of Arab and Muslim democracies.
