Yosyf Samuyilovych Zisels (Template:Langx; born 2 December 1946), also Josef Zissels, is a Ukrainian human rights activist and former Soviet dissident.[1]

He was a member of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group (UHG), involved in the samizdat movement, human rights activist, prominent activist in the Jewish movement in Ukraine, and a political prisoner.

On 24 June 2003, the Council of Leaders of All-Ukrainian Jewish Organizations stated that "Chairman of the Vaad of Ukraine, Joseph Zissels, 'is declared persona non grata in the Jewish community and has no right to represent the Jewish community of Ukraine'".[2][3]

In April 2015, Yosyf Zisels stated that the combination of the slur "zhyd" and the word "banderite", which killed Jews, "acquired a new meaning and a positive connotation".[4]

On 13 October 2016, Zisels noted that "representatives of the OUN Ilko Savchin and Mikhailo Svistun hid the Jewish family from the Germans for almost the entire war".

Zisels believes that the monument to Symon Petliura, whose soldiers killed many thousands of Jews,[5] may be in Vinnytsia, where a large number of Jews were exterminated.[6]

On 27 April 2018, Zissels criticized the opinion of 56 US congressmen who were concerned about the "growth of state-funded anti-Semitism",[7] saying that their words were not true.[8]
