Why doesn't Russia welcome back its Israeli Jewish population?

There are probably about a million Russian Jewish people who live in Israel.

Why doesn't Russia want its own people back and make a way for them to return to their true homeland?

It seems like it could be a solution instead of Israel expanding into territories that it has no claim on.

Russia and the Jews don't have a good history. Their pogroms were as bad as the Nazis.

You mean territory it won when it was attacked from its neighbors.

If they valued that land so much, they should have thought about the consequences before they attacked Israel.

I like that idea. Considering how well loved and treated Russian Jews were and still are, it seems like a perfect solution.


You are on fire as usual.

That's a good question. I'll ask Trump to ask his boss Vlady about Da Joobs.

I know very well how Russia treated its Jewish residents.

But with so many people defending Israel, maybe it just needs less space.

It's not like those in Israel are mostly from Israel.

Because they paid in Jewish human flesh for the names of American assets that they then summarily executed and other US state secrets.

If you were a Jew would you want to go back to Russia?

The best place to be a Jew is America. The best place to be anything, is America.

I have friends who are Soviet-born Jews. Persecution of Jews even after the fall of the USSR was so bad that Jews, for fear of their lives, had to have forged papers to make them look not Jewish. They have Russian legal names as a former disguise against possible persecution and were unable even name their children Jewish names. Every Jew I know has two sets of papers, and they had to use the forged non-Jewish ones for immigration purposes, so their legal American names are still Russian.

That place is beyond fricked up.

Are you referring to the predominantly Jewish bolsheviki's revolution and the extermination of millions of indigenous Christian Slavs on their own soil, or the reaction that followed it?

Such obvious bullshite.You fricking people never stop. Two million Jews left Russia between the 1880's and the Bolshevik Revolution.Not to mention that subsequent pogroms purged as many Jews as possible. Here are the facts:

quote:

According to the 1922 Bolshevik party census, there were 19,564 Jewish Bolsheviks, comprising 5.21% of the total, and in the 1920s of the 417 members of the Central Executive Committee, the party Central Committee, the Presidium of the Executive of the Soviets of the USSR and the Russian Republic, the People's Commissars, 6% were ethnic Jews.[19] Between 1936 and 1940, during the Great Purge, Yezhovshchina and after the rapprochement with Nazi Germany, Stalin had largely eliminated Jews from senior party, government, diplomatic, security and military positions.[20]

"They" is an interesting concept, that confuses pro-ethnic cleansing American Evangelicals.

Besides the fact that Israel attacked Egypt and Syria first, the Palestinians attacked no one, they are the occupied peoples.
