I think these views were developed in Eastern and Central Europe due to periodic pogroms there and transported to America and re-assigned to White Christians.

There is a reasom why majority of Jews settled in Eastern Europe - they were tolerated there better than in other parts of the world. And there was no such thing as "periodic" or mass pogroms. The main reason for emigration was the poverty of this part of the world. The mass killing of Jews came from the West - Nazi Germany.

The only exception was a bloody uprising of Ukrainian serfs against their Polish overlords and Jewish overseers. This took place in 1648 and hundreds of thousands of Poles and Jews were slaughtered. (In a sense it was not very different from the peasant wars in Germany directed against the nobility as the main motive was social/economical).

Did Slobo really say what's in your tag line? I am always Slav sympathetic because though I am 100% Jewish I know I have a lot of Ukraine Slav in me via my mother who had blond hair, blue/green eyes.
