As missiles strike Ukraine, Israel won't sell its vaunted air defense

59. I am defending no one else's words (or posts)

other than my own. And, in those posts (each individually, and collectively) I made quite sure to emphasis that I wasn't attempting to distract from Russian responsibility. On the other hand - you seem to be bent on nothing less than a complete exoneration of Ukraine, and Ukraine society - and you're simply not going to get that here. Antisemitism, then and now, cuts way too wide a swath - and I think an honest reading of history will show that there was plenty of support for anti-Jewish measures - in the Ukraine (as well as, as I've also said repeatedly, in many other countries and parts of the world). Claiming that the Ukrainians 'had nothing to do with it' - simply doesn't wash.
