Mila Kunis Targeted: Anti-Semitic Politician Posts Slur-Filled Facebook Status About Actress

Mila Kunis was targeted by an anti-Semitic Ukrainian politician in a hate-filled Facebook rant. The anti-Semitic politican, lawmaker Igor Miroshnichenko targeted Mila Kunis, and is faceing a whirlwind of backlash from Jewish organizations throughout the world.

Miroshnichenko wrote that Mila Kunis, a Jew who was born in the Ukraine, was not a true Ukrainian because she is a "zhydovka" -- a slur word used against the Jews since the Holocaust, according to TMZ. And though many people protested, the Ukrainian government said the word was OK to use because it is not listed as a slur in the Ukrainian dictionary.

The term "zhydovka" is 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," according to Rabbi Marvin Hier, with the Simon Wiesenthal Center in L.A.

The organization has also called for the Ukrainian government to "publically condemn this attack and to take measures to defeat the xenophobic forces that threaten your democracy."

Mila Kunis recently spoke out about her Ukrainian heritage and the rampant anti-Semitism in the country.

"My whole family was in the Holocaust,' she said, according to the Inquisitr. "My grandparents passed and not many survived. After the Holocaust, in Russia you were not allowed to be religious. So my parents raised me to know I was Jewish. You know who you are inside. When I was in school you would still see anti-Semitic signs."
