Quote of the Day

The Jewish Ukrainians will stand united with their Ukrainian brothers against the Russian invasion..
  -- Rabbi Meir Stembler, Chabad rabbi in Ukraine and head of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Ukraine
calling the Ukrainians brothers? Rabbi Stembler did not forget the history of hos cruel and brutal the Ukrainians were to the Jews, so it is strange that he calls them brothers. unless it is just pandering fpr the future. Stembler himself also said that while Jews have been in Ukraine a long time and have had good relations for many years with the Ukrainian neighbors, the land is soaked in Jewish blood, yet they feel part of the Ukrainian population. It is complex. They dont want to instigate more hatred but they cant forget the past. Calling them brothers is pretty sad though. I hope the Russians and the Ukrainians destroy each other.
