How Orwellian!

The Ukrainians who want equal time in the taxpayer funded chamber of horrors are playing dirty. As part of their campaign to get the Holodomor--the mass starvation of Ukrainians by Joseph Stalin--equal display space, they have have been mailing out this postcard:

Here's how the CJN spins it:

WINNIPEG — The Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association (UCCLA) has sent out a postcard to supporters that appears to depict Jewish backers of a prominent Holocaust gallery in the Canadian Museum for Human Rights as pigs.

The card was mailed out over the last several months, going back as early as this past December.

The picture on the front is taken from the 1947 Ukrainian edition of George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm. It depicts a fat pig with a bullwhip overseeing an emaciated horse dragging a wagon.

In Orwell’s story, the pigs represent the Stalinist Communist ruling class who enslave and dominate the other farm animals, but claim hypocritically that “all animals are equal.” The back of the postcard features a pig who whispers into the ear of a sheep in a conspiratorial manner, “All galleries are equal but some galleries are more equal than others.”

The UCCLA sent the postcard out as part of its campaign against the proposed content of the new federal museum, which is now under construction in Winnipeg and will include an exhibit dedicated to the Holocaust.

The UCCLA has been lobbying to have the Holodomor – Josef Stalin’s mass murder by starvation of Ukrainians farmers who refused to go along with collectivization efforts in the 1930s – get equal billing with the Shoah. The Holodomor will have a permanent display in the “Mass Atrocity” zone, immediately adjacent to the Holocaust zone.

The museum has said that it decided to single out the Holocaust for a number of reasons, including the fact it was the catalyst that prompted the world to forge a legal framework for the development of international human rights law, specifically the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide...

Bollocks! It decided to single out the Holocaust for one reason and one reason only: because Izzy Asper wanted to build a Holocaust Museum, and when it became clear that would never fly, he and his heirs settled for this shotgun arrangement between the Shoa and "human rights."

As for the Ukrainians--I'm not saying that they aren't motivated by more than a soupcon of Judenhass, but I think the Jews have rather missed the point of the Animal Farm reference, since the book, pigs and all, is an anti-Communist satire, not an anti-Jewish one.
