A little history about what the Ukranians did to Jews and who Putin is fighting against
ReplyDeleteChmielnicki massacres. of Tach V'tat were in Ukraine. The Kishinev Pogroms in the early 1900 during WW2 the Ukraninas rounded up all the jews and had the Germans slaughter them in a mass grave at Babi Yaar.
Odessa massacre was the mass murder of the Jewish population of Odessa and surrounding towns in the Transnistria Governorate during the autumn of 1941 and the winter of 1942 while it was under Romanian control. 25,000 to 34,000 Jews were shot or burned, or to the murder of well over 100,000 Ukrainian Jews in the town and the areas between the Dniester and Bug rivers, during the Romanian and German occupation. The primary perpetrators were Romanian soldiers, SS and local ethnic Germans
Yet for some unknown reason, there are thousands of jews still living there.
DeleteThe first comment makes no sense. Did any of the Ukrainians living TODAY in Ukraine ever kill a Jew? So far, the Russian army TODAY already killed a Jew in Ukraine.
DeleteUkrainians TODAY are not responsible for what their forefathers did, just as we here in America are not responsible for what our forefathers did to the blacks in America during slavery, and just as Russians TODAY are not responsible for what their forefathers did to the Jews during the evil Czar and Communism (when they literally erased Yidishkeit from millions of Russian Jews.)
מה ענין שמיטה אצל הר סיני?
DeleteThe Romanians and Germans did most of the atrocities in the last century. Is Putin fighting them?
The ukrainians were in Odessa too and cooperated with the romanians and germans yemach shemom
DeleteUnlike the Germans and Americans, the Ukrainians never disowned or apologized for their past. To the contrary, they still celebrate those who murdered Jews.
DeleteHe is fighting against Chmelnitzki by trying to assassinate the current prime Minister who is a yid. You are a real genius.
ReplyDeleteNot saying Ukrainians are my favorite people. My family is from Ukraine and fled a pogrom in the 1890s but deciding to cheer on Putin here for those reasons is silly. Plenty of Russians killed many Yiddish over centuries as well.
Putin said he is fighting the neo nazis
Deletehttps://freebeacon.com/national-security/biden-admin-relies-on-russia-to-finalize-iran-nuclear-deal-as-putin-invades-ukraine/
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone believe sites like that any more? The lies are so obvious, I don't know why they bother.
DeleteOiy vey! What's gonna be with Rosh Hashana in Uman?
ReplyDeleteThey say Putin is gonna be there.
DeleteActually the Jew killed today was killed by the Ukrainians..not the Russians.
ReplyDeletewhile wishing to stay above this fray,
ReplyDeleteIt is of worth noting in parts of Ukraine there reportedly is still a festive day where local ukrainians dress an effigy as a religious Jew, they then stab it and burn it
And just today the Ukrainians murdered a Jew. A car among a entire line of cars at a checkpoint, and he was murdered. 'Excuse': he looked like a Chechnyan. Or just a Ukrainian being a Ukrainian
DeleteLet’s not confuse politics with merit. Factually speaking, the Ukrainians are perhaps the most vicious subhuman peoples who exist today. Yes, in Russia there was communism and Jews suffered greatly, but other than that Jews have lived there for centuries under mostly peaceful conditions (the draft law and quota for the Czar’s military was no picnic, although was not antisemitic per se). Blood libels and pogroms were rampant throughout Russia only toward the end of the 19th century, and during the Revolution era. Ukraine on the other hand, has targeted Jews for centuries. Jews were murdered, burned and tortured at the hands of local Ukrainians for hundreds of years, and this continues till today. Just a few years ago a Chabad Shliach was nearly beaten to death at the hands of a Ukrainian thug.
ReplyDeleteWhile we of course don’t know Cheshbonos, to simply ignore Ukrainians “glorious” history is plain stupid. Yes, Jews were oppressed throughout the ages in Russia, but in Ukraine it was far far worse.
As for Putin vs. Zelenskyy, it’s now really an issue of politics, that’s all. The fact that Zelenskyy is of Jewish origin (mother is Jewish too? Idk) is nice but totally irrelevant.
The Kantonistim laws (kidnapping just Jewish kids to be raised by Russians and enscrippted to 25 years of army service) and the government organized programs and so much more wasn't antisemitic???? Are you completely nuts?
DeleteThat is as well overly simplistic . Russians were better to the Jews because they refused utterly to allow Jews within their borders until the corralled them in with the first partition of 1772
DeleteWhere is Rav Ben Porat sitting shiva
ReplyDeleteGo to Rova Farms in Jackson,Huge Russian Church with a cemetary full of the worst Anti semites and Murders,hailed as heros by the Russians
ReplyDeleteCheck out Spotswood NJ,a Ukraine neighborhood near East Brunswick,with a cemetary full of Murderers hailed as Heros for killing Jews in Europe
ReplyDeleteYes it's simple,the Entire planet,eisav and yishmael want to kill us
ReplyDeleteIts very childish to support a dictator who wants to invade and enslave another country, because the invaded country murdered Jews 100 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe people who live in Ukraine TODAY are NOT murderers. They don't deserve this.
