To which slime are you referring this time?
To the NATO Allies or the American?

Next thing you'll be telling us that Genghis Khan was an Arab because of his family name.
Be careful though, Velund, between Ukrainians and Huzuls!

Again Torq, the Poles claim Kopernikus as their own, the Germans as their own. Is it Torun or Thorn?
Guess people will be fighting about that till' the cows come home!

Quite correct, Tacitus. History is (usually) written by the victors.
@Rich,
Donbass is a Ukrainian-speaking region which was taken over by the former Soviet Union, obviously well before Putin!

There's some disagreement there.
The same applies to whether Kopernikus was a Pole or a German

Szczecin was German-speaking Stettin.for centuries until annexed to the German Reich by Hitler, later taken "back" by Poland and re-named Szczecin.
Most Eastern European city names are bilingual in German and the native nomenclature.

Donbass and Donetsk lie technically aka historically in Ukrainian territory.
This is a situation analogous with Israel and Palestine; the Palestinians claim the Golan Heights for Arab lands, Israel claims same for historically Judaean lands.

Forgetting are we that Jesus was a Jew as well🤣

No one's denying. Pontius Pilate had Jesus executed, end of story.

Your Church began the rumor which was a lie that the Jews murdered Jesus. In fact, the Romans (Rzymcy) murdered Jesus.

Judas Iskariot only betrayed Him so as not to incur the wrath of the Sanhedrin.

You're the better for it, Alien.
If for nothing else, the dialogue is so far superior to anything on current American TV, your English will benefit no end by watching the best from the. Golden Age of Television!

Don't let any jackasses here on PF tell you different.

No normal person has
a death wish, yet if caught up in the passion of the moment, one might well give up their life for their country, albeit not willingly, perhaps.

Right on, Alien!

Hate cuts both ways, buster. What's the difference between Jews hating anti-semites and anti-semites hating Jews?

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [599]

Sounds roughly like those Volga Germans living for centuries in Russia, not knowing a syllable of German, while claiming German citizenship, having never set foot outside their birth country!

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [599]

They were born in Poland and their sole language was Polish.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...it's a duck!

Tell that last remark to Tadeusz Rozewicz, Julian Tuwim or Roman Polanski, that they're not really Poles. They'd spit right in your blind eyes and charge ya for the eye wash!

While it's true that Poland's Jews were not as integrated into mainstream society as those Jews in Germany post-Enlightenment, the above named persons considered themselves Poles first and foremost.

Dmowski was an avowed antis-Semite, Ron, so that leaves him out!
