The number of people parrotting Putin's hateful propaganda in this thread is very depressing. To paraphrase an old Russian joke, a person can only be any two of the three things: intelligent, honest, a Putin apologist. Take your picks.
ThEy HaD a MaScOt!!
It's ultimately easier to tell the truth and blame all the plane and helicopter losses on Russian incompetence.
A good story really sells it, though.

What classic literature knows about refugees fleeing persecution and warPublicado: 14 marzo 2022 13:20 CET Robert F. Barsky, Vanderbilt University
The United Nations has warned that the war in Ukraine could create “the biggest refugee crisis this century.” Two and a half million people have already fled.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world sits watching the war on screens, which can promote empathy but also can lead to helplessness and distress.
There’s another way to try to understand refugees’ experience. Alongside the reality of desperate people fleeing danger is a rich history of classic texts about characters seeking protection or new lives.
As a professor of humanities and law, I have spent the past few years delving deeply into what classic literature has to say about the challenges of fleeing persecution. From Odysseus and Dante the Pilgrim to Frankenstein’s monster, many familiar characters encounter obstacles well known to contemporary refugees.
These stories can’t replicate what it’s like to experience bombs and shells raining down on Syria, Ukraine or Yemen. But they may help readers identify with characters they already know, which may in turn create empathy and compassion for refugees.
Sharing the story
One text worth recalling in this regard is the Book of Exodus, and in particular the scene in which God appears to Moses at the burning bush.
God has been watching the Israelites’ suffering as slaves in Egypt, he reveals to Moses. The Almighty wishes to intervene – and calls upon Moses to act as his emissary.
“I will send you to Pharaoh, and you shall free My people, the Israelites, from Egypt,” God commands.
Moses’ initial reaction is not to obey, but to question. “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and free the Israelites from Egypt?” he asks. He fears that his poor speaking skills render him ill equipped to fulfill God’s will. “I have never been a man of words,” he protests; “I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”
His hesitation is a reminder that vulnerable migrants often have nothing with them other than their own story – a story they may have to tell in a language that is not their own. Ukrainians who are currently in flight, for example, will have to explain themselves adequately. Being able to tell their story in the right way, to the right people, will be crucial to their very survival.
Moses is also unsure whether God really is who he says he is. Can this great power be trusted? Moses wonders. As refugees flee their home countries, they too may wrestle with whether to trust people and officials from powerful institutions offering aid, like host country officials, or representatives from United Nations agencies or nongovernmental organizations.
The land of milk and honey
To persuade Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, God promises the Israelites not just protection, but a better life: “I will take you out of the misery of Egypt … to a land flowing with milk and honey.”
Historically, many people fleeing home are escaping not war or persecution, but poverty – though the lines between refugees and so-called economic migrants are getting blurrier. Those who wish to deny entry to refugees or undocumented migrants often describe them as “parasites” or “illegals” who are leaving their homes to reap the milk and honey of others’ lands.
John Steinbeck’s novel “The Grapes of Wrath” tells the story of desperate American families during the Great Depression fleeing the Dust Bowl droughts that devastated their crops. They are “people in flight, refugees from dust and shrinking land, from the thunder of tractors and invasion, from the twisting winds that howl up out of Texas, from floods that bring no richness to the land and steal what little richness is there.”
They dream of a new paradise, and of plenty. Tom Joad, one of the book’s key characters, provides a vision of the life that he imagines in California: “Gonna get me a whole big bunch of grapes off a bush, or whatever, an’ I’m gonna squash ‘em on my face an’ let ‘em run offen my chin.”
It may be a pipe dream, but what option do these vulnerable migrants have? Like millions of people in places like India, the Philippines or Bangladesh, they have been internally displaced because of natural disasters and climate change. The only way to safety is forward.
“How can we live without our lives? How will we know it’s us without our past?” Steinbeck writes. “No. Leave it. Burn it.”
Leaving paradise
No matter how great the persecution, not everyone will flee in search of protection. Home still provides us with a sense of rootedness; home is where we speak the language; home is where we have friends and family; home is filled with familiar landmarks.
And for people fleeing Ukraine, the decision to leave means enduring huge lines, freezing cold and administrative barriers – particularly for non-Europeans who resided in Ukraine, such as Indians and Africans, who have faced discrimination.
John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” is one of the great stories about massive displacement and the effort to survive in an inhospitable environment. This 17th-century epic poem describes two acts of exile: rebel angels’ expulsion from heaven, and Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
After the war in heaven, when Satan attempts to lead one-third of the angels in rebellion, God’s retribution is swift and horrible. Satan’s followers are “hurld headlong flaming from th’ Ethereal Skie / With hideous ruine and combustion down / To bottomless perdition, there to dwell,” in Milton’s description.
Even Satan, who actively led the uprising, was filled with the despair at all he’d lost: “Now the thought / both of lost happiness and lasting pain / torments him.”
These terrifying lines hold one of Milton’s masterpiece’s most important insights for migration crises today. Through expulsion, these fallen angels have lost everything they hold dear, and now they are condemned to hell. Their pain is mixed with “obdurate pride” and “stedfast hate.”
If contemporary refugees are unable to find a new sense of belonging and opportunity, then their frustration and trauma sometimes turn to resentment and radicalization. From Ukraine and Yemen to Afghanistan and elsewhere, many desperate people are in need not just of assistance, but long-term solutions that provide a chance for them to rebuild their lives.
These examples from classic texts intimately depict refugees’ challenges through characters who have peopled our imagination. Perhaps this same process of creative association with well-known stories of displacement can help inspire ways to help vulnerable migrants in our midst.

"Ethnic divisions of Judaism"
different ethnicities of the jewish people
Jewish ethnic divisions refer to the various world Jewish communities that can be distinguished within the Jewish people . As Judaism is both a culture and a religion, not all Jewish communities share identical cultural, religious, culinary, linguistic, etc. customs. One and the other are distinguished by small local differences (dress, food, etc.), and in a few ways of interpreting some precepts (for example, prayers). Differences in the way of vocalizing Hebrew are also appreciated. There are over 71 different identified ethnic types among the Jews.
- Ashkenazi Jew
- Jewish family from Cochin, India
Samarkand Jewish teacher and schoolchildren
- Chinese Jews
- Israeli soldier, Asael Lubotzky , wearing his phylactery
- Judeo-Kurdish youth
Inside the Jewish peopleEdit
The main groups within the modern Jewish people are three: the Ashkenazim , whose typical language is Yiddish ; the Sephardim , whose typical language is Ladino ; and, to a lesser extent, the Mizrahim whose language is often Arabic . These languages are used in addition to Hebrew , which is the main prayer, writing and reading language of the Jewish people.
AshkenazimEdit
Main article: Ashkenazi
Isaac Asknaziy, Portrait of an Ashkenazi Elder, 1902. [SUP][ 1[/SUP] ]Ashkenaz is the name given by Germany to Jews, and Ashkenazi ("German") is the name originally given to Jews in Germany. Their language is Yiddish , which is a Germanic language with Hebrew and Slavic influence. They mainly inhabited Germany , Poland , Ukraine and Russia . Those who have roots in the following European countries are not usually Ashkenazim : the Iberian Peninsula, and regions of Italy, Greece, Turkey and the Balkans.
SephardimEdit
Main article: Sephardic
Sephardic Jew: Maimonides .Sepharad is the Hebrew name for what we know as Spain . Sephardi means "Spanish" in classical Hebrew and is the word to designate the Jews of Spain and Portugal . They made great contributions to Hispanic culture, but were religiously expelled from the peninsula in 1492. The descendants of these Jews continued to be called Sephardim , Sephardim, or Sephardim, no matter where in the world they were born. Their language is Ladino or Judeo -Spanish , which was, at first, a dialect of Castilian Spanish , but evolved differently from Standard Castilian.
However, their expulsion near the beginning of the 16th century led to emigration to the Spanish and Portuguese domains, but also to the Dutch and English colonies (including the future United States). Most of them, mainly in Spanish and Portuguese America, converted and were assimilated into the local population, due to the subsequent implantation of the Inquisition in those territories.
In 1924, General Primo de Rivera granted Spanish citizenship to Sephardic Jews for "historical reasons", which saved many lives during World War II . A very clear case was that of the diplomat Ángel Sanz-Briz (charge d'affaires of the Francoist embassy in Budapest, Hungary), who saved thousands of Jews from the Holocaust in Hungary , saying that Sephardic Jews were Spanish citizens and therefore had support of his government, although to save lives many non-Sephardim were passed off as Sephardim. George Perlascahe continued his work during the absence of Sanz-Briz (posing as a consul, when in fact he was not). Both received the Righteous Among the Nations Medal , and have their tree next to Oskar Schindler 's on the Avenue of the Righteous Men in Jerusalem .
The Sephardim emigrated in the 20th century mainly to Israel, France, the United States and Latin America, with Argentina standing out; most came from North Africa, Turkey and the Balkans.
Law 12/2015, of June 24, regarding the granting of Spanish nationality to Sephardim from Spain, agreed to grant Spanish nationality to descendants of Sephardim who could prove their origin, demonstrate a special relationship with Spain and prove knowledge of the Spanish language and culture. Law 12/2015
Mizrahim or edot hamizrajEdit
Main article: Mizrahi
Mizrahi or mizrajim is the name given to the Jewish communities that immigrated from the countries of the Middle East , notably from Yemen , Iraq , Persia , or Historic Palestine . Many mistakenly call them Sephardim within Israel itself, although they have nothing to do with the Iberian Peninsula. This confusion derives from the fact that the Sephardic style of liturgy, its laws and customs had a significant influence in those regions after the expulsion from Spain and Portugal. The correct term to denominate them in Hebrew is Edot hamizraj(communities of the East). They take their interpretation of the precepts from the Babylonian rabbinical schools . They are the Jews of the Arab world .
Groups of smaller numberEditThese groups are inferior in number to the "Germans" and "Spanish" or "Orientals" but they are still important for the people of Israel.
syrian jewsEdit
Main article: Syrian Jews
The Syrian Jews ( Hebrew : יהודי סוריה) ( Arabic : يهود سوريون) derive their origin from two groups: those who inhabited the region of present-day Syria since ancient times and the Sephardim who fled to Syria after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in the year 1492. There were large communities in Aleppo and Damascus for centuries, and a small community in Qamishli, on the border with Turkey , near Nusaybin. In the first half of the 20th century , a large percentage of Syrian Jews immigrated to the United States , Mexico , Central America , Argentina, Brazil and Israel . Most of the remaining Jews emigrated in the twenty-eight years following 1973 , due in part to the efforts of Judith Feld Carr, who claims to have helped some 3,228 Jews leave the country; emigration was officially allowed in 1992 , with the condition that they would be given permission to emigrate as long as it did not go to Israel. The largest Syrian Jewish community is in Brooklyn , New York and is estimated to number about 7,000 people. There are smaller communities elsewhere in the United States and in Latin America .
Teimanim or YemenitesEdit
Main article: Yemenite Jews
Some consider the Teimanim to be part of the Mizrajim or Eastern Jews, since they inhabited Yemen (meaning "far south"). They are the only ones who preserve the tradition of reading the Torah in the synagogue in Hebrew and in the Aramaic translation . Yemen is located in the south of the Arabian Peninsula and is the cradle of the Teimanim and in Hebrew Yemen is called Temán. When Saladin was sultan, the Jews of Yemen began to have a religion that syncretized Judaism and Islam. This situation worried Jacob ben Nathanael al-Fayyumi who wrote to Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon , known as Maimonides. The great Maimonides answered him in an epistle entitled Iggeret Teman (The Epistle to Yemen ). This letter had a great impact on Yemenite Jewry and this new religious movement was stopped.
Beta IsraelEdit
Main article: Beta Israel
Falasha infant.Beta Israel (House of Israel), incorrectly called falashas , are Jews from Ethiopia . Physically they resemble Ethiopians and speak the Amharic language . Its origin is not very clear, it goes back to ancient times and there are no exact records, rather legends and speculations. Some theories about its origin are:
- They could be sons of Menelik , alleged son of King Solomon with the Queen of Sheba and of the converts that there were after his conversion to Judaism.
- Some say that they are children of African natives and members of the tribe of Dan who settled in Kush (Ethiopia).
- Some say that they are children of Jews with blacks, coming from different times and circumstances such as: merchants, exiles, travelers, etc.
- They could be converts, that is, blacks who, seeing their Jewish neighbors, convinced themselves that this was the way of life they needed.
They are Jews who traditionally lived in the Arab Berber Maghreb (Al-Maghrib means the West in the Arabic language ). Sometimes considered Sephardim, they settled there long before the expulsion of the Sephardic Jews from Spain, most notably in Morocco . The Sephardic Jews arrived after being expelled from Spain and had greater resources and were more sophisticated than their Maghreb brothers, thus the Maghreb assimilated into the Sephardic community. Today, Moroccan Jews consider themselves Sephardic.
Gruzim or GeorgiansEdit
Young Jewish women from the Caucasus.They belong to Georgia , in the Caucasus , gruzim comes from the Russian term: Грузинские евреи ( Gruzinskie Yevreyi , Georgian Jews). The Georgian name for the community is Huria (ჰურია) or Ebraeli . Some consider them Ashkenazim.

People being upset by voter fraud is the same as joining a neo nazi national guard battalion and wearing nazi badges?

What voter fraud? If you mean extreme gerrymandering in states like NC and MD, that's one thing and that's something we can all agree on.
Or does "voter fraud" mean "letting the darkies have a say" to you? You know, at the subconscious level? If you peel back all the layers of demagoguery and obfuscation, the real reason behind Charlottesville and the Capitol attack is pure, unadulterated fear and hatred of the collective "others" and their growing political power in a representative democracy (or at least what passes for it in the modern world).
Please put this tired shit to rest.
And if you want to continue with the "neo-Nazi batallions", please provide some proof of how the individual volunteers who may or may not have right-wing Ukrainian nationalist leanings are controlling the entire nation of Ukraine and its Jewish president.
