Why don't you ever post good stuff about the achievements of Russians and Jews in Ukraine and their contribution to Ukrainian history and culture? I have been on this forum for about a month maybe so, however I looked on some posts here and there were few posts about this subject. Only the fact that "Russian collaborators (Pet'ka I think) speak with an Yiddish accent (on one of the posts) and that "Russians had nothing constructive to contribute" besides "a culture of liars, exploiters and murderers" (http://www.brama.com/survey/messages/51979.html)So please forgive me here, if I put something positive, what would be the response? That you are a Jewish commie and you're making this up? Again, I'm not saying that everybody on this forum does that however, it is prevalent here. As you already saw someone wrote that the attacks on Jews are due "to misguided anger due to Jewish crimes against the Ukrainian people" http://www.brama.com/survey/messages/53176.html. What am I suppose to say to that? Oh okay then, "a guided anger" would be what? Burning Jewish epigees and Jewish scriptures? Forgive me somewhat for my cynicism here, however if I would have turned the tables and said that that "Ukrainians killed my relatives and their friends" and therefore due to "misguided anger" I attacked two people conversing in Ukrainian while screaming "smert' hohlam (I hate that racially abusive word, please do not take offence it is just for example's sake, I don't mean it)" I would have been attacked with verbally abusive comments on this forum and rightfully so.
: Alex, chill - you are not "whining" but it would be nice if "good" stuff were posted every so often such as following -

: "Restored Synagogue Opened in Sumy"
: http://www.risu.org.ua/eng/news/article;7252/

: else you leave yourself open?
: And yes, there are people who have had experiences such as the one stated with Marsha.
