Merry Christmas to all! Thanks to all who read and post on these daily threads, and many thanks to Homer for hosting. I pray that all of you experience the peace and joy of the Christmas season.
Page 8 has an interesting side article about Saudi Arabia demanding Islamic control in Egypt and the Middle East after the war.
It's a bit more complicated and we should be careful about associating Soviet Jews with Communism. Many more Jews were never communists than were.
For certain there were Jews that had long lost all connection to the Jewish people, were ashamed of their origins, and joined the Communists. These are the Jews Solzhenitsyn referred to as cutthroats who readily persecuted even their own kinsmen.
And a special thanks to Homer for his tireless efforts.
Careful. Alfred Rosenberg’s story of Bolshevism is practically an article of faith...
You have numbers for that?
That's been pretty much my point. What are the numbers?
Everybody seems to want to use qualitative statements like yours as opposed to quantifying the issue.
Not at the tips of my fingers but I have read estimates.
One might indirectly form an estimate by considering the number of Russian Jews that made aliyah versus those who liked it in the USSR and chose to remain.
Ah yes. Rosenberg. No chance he was a Jew. Nope. None at all. /s
