That's absurd on the face of it. Two things:
1) The government of the USSR was essentially dominated by Jews. If they wanted to convince the world the were more "socialist" because there were less Jews residing there they sure did a terrible job. Some people, including Hitler, have been convinced for a hundred years Bolshevism is a Jewish invention.
2) Communist Russia discouraged leaving immigration. Doesn't look good if people are leaving communist paradise does it? Though I know a lot of Jews did leave for Israel anyway and it's not unreasonable they weren't stopped by the Jewish Communist leaders.

That's Cathars you dummy.

Both of you get some sources before you go spouting Jewish fairy tales.

The Soviets actually set up an autonomous oblast for the Jews under Stalin, only place outside of Israel that was a "Jewish homeland", although not many Jews there anymore...

Heh. You ever heard about the Catholics carrying out traditional religious traditions in the basement finding out that those are actually Jewish traditions passed down through the generations from their Jewish ancestors who had to pretend to be Catholic? Can't remember where I heard it. Funny story.

Probably referring to the Conversos.

Maybe. It was a thing I heard where two office workers were comparing their Christmas traditions, and after the Christian explained hers, the Jew she was talking to told her that was a Jewish tradition. It unfolded from there.

:Hijacked:

Back to the topic, I think most educated Americans feel bad for the Syrians.....but are reluctant to risk WWIII with the Russians.....even if the Russians were a non-factor, Americans are tired of the balkin nature of middle eastern peoples to fight each other as opposed to unifying.....in short, I believe that most educated Americans believe the Middle East is a lost cause.....

Isolationism is our native instinct. It wasn't until it got hijacked with spreading democracy after WWII that we started practicing foreign interventionalism. Liberate until nothing left to liberate. That's why the neocons are still eying Russia.

They should go back to looking to liberate Cuba. Central America could with an emerging economy. I'd just ask that not too many Cuban Americans leave Florida.

Seems to me like Russia's statements are intended to get NATO to dump Turkey for being too much of a risk....why is Turkey in NATO again? Seems to me the Missile sites aren't worth the risk of the Turks doing something stupid.....
