[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Jewish Ukrainian posted numerous videos on Twitter showing Russian atrocities committed in Ukraine:

Why does it matter if the poster is Jewish? [/quote]

Because Russia wants everyone to think that they are fighting against Nazis.[/quote]

Yes, thanks.

I am the one who pointed out the poster is Jewish.  It matters because:

- Putin has demanded Ukraine undergo “de-Nazification”  - except Ukraine is led by a fairly elected Jewish leader, and there are virtually NO nazis in Ukraine.

I said “virtually” because, technically, a tiny number of neo-nazis exist in the US, more in Russia itself, and probably a tiny number in Ukraine.

But only an utter fool - a true idiot - would make the argument the US is a “Nazi country,” that Russia is a “Nazi country,” or “Ukraine is a Nazi country.”

This “nazi” argument is the most idiotic claim I’ve heard from a world leader recently.

- yet Putin continues to make it.

Therefore, I believe it IS important to point out President Zelensky’s Jewish heritage, as well as the Twitter poster’s Jewish heritage.

Now do you understand why? [/quote]

Well why is Israel on the Russians side in this war? Do they believe the Ukraine is full of nazis? [/quote]

From what I understand, Israel had the largest immigration wave of Ukrainian Jews who left USSR in the 80s and 90s.  Loads of Jewish Ukrainians there as a result of this.   They may have their own opinions given that some of them survived WW2 in Ukraine. Google Bandera, Babi Yar, etc. Not saying this is the case, as it's likely a lot more complicated and grounded on geo-politics and economic situation. [/quote]
