You basically suggested that Jacob Schiff is personally responsible for the USSR. A little bit, but not really. He managed a bank that loaned money to various countries that did all sorts of things with it. He does not deserve to be vilified. He had his reasons for loaning to the Bolsheviks, which were probably good, he died in 1920, he changed his mind before that, and he did not know the future. Kuhn Loeb must not have been the only bank they did business with. I never implied that antisemitism in Russia ended at the Revolution. I have been on this forum for several months.

I did not vilify the old devil. I did not suggest anything. I stated facts. Even his family admits he, personally, provided money to Lenin. I am not responsible for your inferences. I do, however, distrust the motives and judgment of some of his descendants, with their “Socialism for thee, capitalism for me” attitude. The reason I mentioned your tenure here is that you seem to be looking for offense when none is meant.
