Ukrainian politician Igor Miroschnichenko has reportedly taken aim at one of his country's most famous, glamorous emigrants: Mila Kunis. In a recent Facebook post, the lawmaker argued that the Jewish, Ukrainian-born Ted actress, 29, is not a true Ukrainian, calling her a "zhydovka," which translates to "dirty Jewess," a term used since the time of the Holocaust. Ukrainian Jews subsequently protested the offensive slur -- but the government then excused Miroschnichenko's wording, claiming the term isn't necessarily derogatory. Following that exchange, the Simon Weisenthal Center in Los Angeles wrote a strongly worded letter to the Eastern European nation's Prime Minister, imploring him to "speak out against the heinous anti-Semitic slur directed at Ukrainian-born actress Mila Kunis by MP Igor Miroshnichenko." Written by two rabbis affiliated with the human rights organization, the letter continues: "Mila Kunis' family, like many thousands of other Ukrainian Jewish families, left the Ukraine in the first place because of anti-Semitism . . . Today she is a respected American actress, who is now owed an apology by the Ukraine. It is a tragedy that even after the Holocaust and the demise of the Soviet Union such hatred and anti-Semitism is still a force in the mainstream of your country." The letter concludes: "[You should] publicly condemn this attack and to take the measures to defeat the xenophobic forces that threaten your democracy." Poster Comment: I'm unfamiliar with this term. Does anyone know its phonetic spelling or pronunciation? "zhydovka"

Jewish organizations around the world are furious with the Ukrainian government ... after a Ukrainian politician used an Anti-Semitic slur in a Facebook rant about Mila Kunis. The man who set off the controversy is lawmaker Igor Miroshnichenko -- who had written that Mila (a Jew who was born in the Ukraine) is not a true Ukrainian because she's a "zhydovka" ... a word that has been used as a slur against Jewish people since the Holocaust. After protests by Ukrainian Jews, the Ukrainian government announced the word was OK to use because it appears in the Ukrainian dictionary as a term for a Jew that isn't necessarily a slur. Now, the famous Simon Wiesenthal Center in L.A. is getting involved -- firing off a letter to the Prime Minister of the Ukraine to "express our outrage and indignation against the slanders of the Svoboda Party directed against the Jewish community in the Ukraine." In the letter, Rabbi Marvin Hier explains ... the term "zhydovka" translates to "dirty Jewess" ... and was used as an "insidious slur invoked by the Nazis and their collaborators as they rounded up the Jews to murder them at Babi Yar and in the death camps." The org. has called on the Prime Minister to "publically condemn this attack and to take measures to defeat the xenophobic forces that threaten your democracy." (IOW, the jews don't have the Ukrainian masses by the balls.....yet) We reached out to Kunis for comment -- so far, no word back.. www.tmz.com/2012/12/20/mi...s-ukraine-politician-jew- slur/#ixzz2FfU43ciQ Here's the ugly jewess without her makeup: just another Ashkenazi....
