Exactly a 72 years ago today Jewish Soviet collaborators made ethnic cleansing of Polish civilians, wiping out entire village in Koniuchy (300 people, including women and children).

That is not entirely correct.

It was not "Jewish Soviet collaborators" that attacked Koniuchy. It was attacked by 100-120 Partisans from the "Death to the Fascists" and "Margiris" untis from the Vilnius Brigade of the Lithuanian Partisan Staff and "Death to the Invaders" unit of the Kovno Brigade. Additionally, 30 Jewish partisans from the "Avengers" and "To Victory" units under the command of Jacob (Yaakov) Prenner participated in the attack. Therefore it wasn't "Jewish Soviet collaborators" but instead plain Soviet Partisans, a majority of them from non-Jewish units.

Secondly, it was not "ethnic cleansing" nor did they wipe out the whole village. The village was not attacked because it was Polish. It was attacked because the inhabitants refused to cooperate with the local partisans and organized a self-defense battalion in order to prevent the Soviet Partisans from taking their cattle and foodstuffs.

Also, they did far from killing the whole village. According to the current investigation of the Institute of National Remembrance – Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation (a problematic source to begin with, given their specific anti-communist mission statement and their calls for persecution of several Jewish Partisans in Poland), 38 inhabitants of Koniuchy (including women and children) were killed and about a dozen were injured in the Partisan attack.

The massacre of Koniuchy certainly is a good example for the violence Soviet Partisans frequently employed against a civilian population they perceived as unwilling to cooperate with them. Distorting the facts around it with spinning a narrative of the whole village being killed, it being an act of ethnic cleansing or the people responsible being "Jewish Soviet collaborators", is not only not backed up by historic evidence, it helps neither the remembrance of the victims nor the understanding of Partisan violence against Polish civilians.
