One of the British newspapers on Twitter reported it. My point was that the Polonophobe just had to get his jab in. Never mind that many Jews in Poland died in the Holocaust, or that many Poles were Righteous Gentiles, or that even some Litvaks in Poland chose to sympathize with the Poles

True. That would not surprise me if it were a post-War or (sadly) even a Soviet Jewish name (The horror for Jews in the USSR was beyond comprehension.).

Hmmm.

Another idea is that LIPSK was nick-named for unknown reasons as LISKO ORLISKO by some locals.

Genealogy / How can the surname Drzewiecki be both Jewish and Catholic? [37]
Too quickly. Did you even read the original links?
Why, then, are there, e.g., DNA markers? Ethnicity can't be that theoretical. Besides (at least for Jews), returning to the homeland somehow (by no coincidence, might I add) has become a reality for many.
I haven't read the entire post, so maybe I'm jumping in too quick

Here's what I wrote about the father of Mom's paternal grandmother's mother, too (He's not a Poylisher, though he counts as an Anusi):
I was writing this, incidentally, when I was explaining why my dog is named Reilly Rosalita. I decided against sending the whole writing because, being a Messianic Jew, I would have risked not getting the tallit that I'm having made for Reilly's bark mitzvah.
Source? e.g., Spain 20% Jewish.
Here's what I wrote about the father of Mom's paternal grandmother's mother, too (He's not a Poylisher, though he counts as an Anusi):
Her father "John McCoy" took his wife's surname and was born in Portugal during the Peninsular War, from which his parents fled to the United States; and he met his Ireland-born wife (Mary Ann Elizabeth McCoy, from whom Nana Allen's middle name comes] there. Long story short, he and his wife had a very-nasty divorce (They had some nasty property fight and he is not buried in the McCoy Family Plot in their locality.)

Incidentally, none of Mom's paternal aunts or grandaunts had "Mary", etc. as a first name; and Nana Allen's aunt Mary was named for her mother, as her uncle John was named for his father. Other factors (i.e., besides the naming patterns, nasty divorce, etc.) lead me to believe that he was a Sephardic Crypto Jew. One other factor is that Nana Allen passed down the bubbe meise that we were descended from the Armadan Dark Irish to her younger children [my maternal granddad and her youngest children] though not to the older ones (to whom she told that their great-granddad fled a war from Spain. I found this out when I found Census records and talked to one of Mom's aunts.)

None of this even matters, though, because immigration officers at Ellis Island never wrote down immigrants' names.

Genealogy / Is Litwin a Jewish surname? [4]
I said that the surname "can be". I didn't say that it is. Also, I wish that some people weren't Jews. I would've been happy if Adolf Hitler were not a Jew. I heard the rumors for years, including from a Jewish Rosenthal who attended a community college when I did, and I didn't believe them. The case turned out to be that a certain self hater apparently wanted to take ethnocidal revenge on his own people to get back at his family (and for what?! Then he should have talked to his family instead of murdering at least 6,000,000 of his people!).
As for George Soros, why did he have to be born Jewish? Same with Ferdinand of Aragon, who was a Hitler of his day. He was trying to get back at his great-grandmother who had an affair. How well did that work?
