My super power is being Ukrainian
Sept 15
๐บ๐ฆ President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky met with dozens of Chabad rabbis in Ukraine on Thursday ahead of the Rosh Hashanah holiday.
There are already 13,000 guests from Israel. In total, up to 30,000 pilgrims are expected.
โI will try to take care of Israelis on their way to Uman. But if Israel were to send Iron Dome, there would be a way to protect those Israelis,โ President Zelenskyy.
โHe said he told Netanyahu that there is a shortage of bomb shelters, but if Israel would help Ukraine, there would be no need for the sheltersโ as one of the rabbis shared to The Times of Israel. ๐บ๐ฆ ๐คจ ๐ฎ๐ฑ
In Uman, there is the tomb of the Tzaddik Nachman, which is one of the most revered holy sites and a place of pilgrimage for followers of the so-called Bratslav Hasidic tradition. All Jews who belong to this Hasidic tradition consider it their duty to visit the tomb of the tzaddik Nachman at least once in their lifetime.
It doesn’t appear that they truly value this place if they are taking minimal action to protect it.
I would like to remind you ๐ฅ On April 28, 2023, russian forces launched a missile strike on Uman. A residential nine-story building was hit. ๐ฉธ 24 ๐๐๐๐, including six children, 28 ๐ข๐ง๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ and 179 people were left without home
๐ฅ On June 8, 2023, there was also a missile attack with two russian “Kalibr” missiles on a supermarket in Uman. It struck both civilian and industrial targets. 10 ๐ข๐ง๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐
Israel is one of the countries that tries to sit on two chairs at the same time.

Lets not forget the Russians almost hit the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine in Herson with shells while he was volunteering to help the victims of the flooding after the Kakhovka Dam was blown up by the same invaders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4xFpqCMy5o

Yes, Israel does want to sit on all chairs available at the table. Israel behaves in the middle east like the Nazi’s behaved in WW-II. Now Israel is doing acting up against the Palestines etc. Again the rest of the world only has words to sometimes defend the position of the Palestines but still supports Israel overall. Since you cannot be Switzerland (neutral) the rest of the world “kind of” stands with Israel. Like Russia, Israel does what Israel thinks it should because it knows that the world still feels guilty about what happened in WW-II so we will stand with Israel eventually. This has to stop! I respect every human life but if one of them doesn’t show respect to all human life they immediately lose my respect for them and with that my support etc. You can’t be a little pregnant, you either are or not! #SlavaUkraini

Descendants of victims of the Holodomor and Holocaust are called Nazi by Russia. Cool and normal.

Yana, Your advice on both propaganda issues for Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ is legitimate and essential ๐ฏ ๐ซPropaganda/Fake news 1 ‘Nazi Ukraine’๐ซ Ever since the start of Ruzzian invasion of Ukraine, and even before, there were stories circulating via social media channels, especially Telegram, that claimed many Ukrainians were adherents of Nazism. ๐ท๐บ propagandists continue to widely post and spread alleged ‘evidence’ onlineโ๏ธ Of course every ‘evidence’ was proven WRONG by fact-checking ๐ Together and united for the truth ๐บ๐ฆ๐ค๐ Together and united against all ๐ท๐บ propaganda and brainwashing โ๏ธโ๏ธ ๐ซPropaganda/Fake news 2 ‘Ukraine Antisemitism’๐ซ Ruzzian propaganda often uses the Jewish issue to divide Ukrainians and Jewsโ๏ธ https://www.ukrinform.net/amp/rubric-society/3761361-putin-and-jews-how-russia-is-heading-for-state-antisemitism.html Ukrainian ๐บ๐ฆ President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the first Jewish leader of an European state who speaks openly about his own Jewishness ๐ Nonetheless, Israel ๐ฎ๐ฑ disappointed Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ with no military support until now ๐ https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/02/06/israel-ukraine-war-russia-hawk-air-defense-netanyahu
Netanyahu is a miserable worm; a disgrace to Israel and a disgrace to Jews.
Especially in light of the fact that he gave an interview prior to his latest election victory, clearly stating ; โif I win, I will be looking into how we can provide military assistance to Ukraine.โ
Obviously he got a call from the rat nazi that deterred him.
He is a coward whose much more brave brother was killed in the raid on Entebbe, which was an operation that was designed to show that however high the risks are, decent humans will pull out all the stops to protect innocents.
I don’t have much trust in Israel anymore. It’s completely contaminated with ruskie scum and has a semi-fascist leader. It will deeply regret its position when Iran starts using weapons delivered to them by mafia land.
I saw a video the other day from the inside of a coach bus that transported some of the Hasidic Jews to Uman. The driver was clearly disgusted as he filmed the trash and garbage scattered all over the interior … on the floors, on the seats, stuffed into the magazine holders … just everywhere! I’ve never seen such a trashed bus before in all my life, not even those that have transported teenagers to a school outing.
I don’t know if they did this to show their disgust about Ukraine, or if they are always such pigs. Maybe someone else knows.
I have visited Uman, not during the pilgrimage, but I have observed the Hasids there.
On the whole they are respectful and since last year have held prayers for Ukraine and donated to Ukrainian charities.
However, I did see some younger ones behaving in a piss poor way; ie sloppy drunk. When you dress in that rather theatrical way, you have to be on your best behaviour, because you stick out like a sore thumb.
Tradespeople like the business they bring, but some girls complained of being harassed by the drunk ones.
When I was in Israel, I found the โSabrasโ; ie native middle eastern Jews, to be polite and cultured people. However, some of the immigrants from Eastern Europe were not so nice.
There is an element, which can be found in other wealthy countries, of โentitledโ sons of wealthy families, who can behave like arseholes.
A bunch of Israeli footballers on holiday in Cyprus; some of whom came from rich families, gang-raped a 19 year old English girl in Aya Napa in 2019. It was a dreadful case because the families โconvincedโ the Cypriot police that the girl made it up and succeeded in getting HER charged. I had a massive argument with an Israeli friend at the time who believed this bullshit. The parents of these turds had published the girlโs name on the internet, despite it being sub judice.
It took the girl 4 years to clear her name and nail the rapists.

Now I read that ANOTHER English girl has been raped by Israeli boys in Aya Napa just this summer. So there is some fucked up shit going on.
I’ve also been to Uman, but never saw any obvious Jews there. I saw most of them at the Boryspil airport.
Maybe those shitheads on the bus were also stupid drunk. I don’t know. I’ve never acted this way, not even when drunk.
I have visited Uman once, we visited Sofiyivka Park there. It’s a great day out and a very pleasant place to be.
We were in the same park. It’s a very nice place, but we left the beaten paths and got a bit lost. It was near dusk and Oksana was getting worried. But, luckily, I have a navigator with very good details, and so we made back to the hotel, which sits on the park’s border, before it got dark.
Alcohol, like many other narcotics, does not really create an altered state. It merely brings out traits that already exist in a person.
Before I married my wife, her sister and her friends took me out and plied me with alcohol.
Yep, it was the proverbial โdrunk testโ; if you remain nice and friendly in that state, it usually means you are ok. I passed Iโm glad to say.
John Lennon, usually erudite and likable when sober, turned into a violent (to women) bastard when drunk.
I fully agree with you, Scradge. I’ve made the same experience in this regard all throughout my life.
Good points, scradgel! Right, generalisation is unfair, those folks are not all the same. Bur there’s quite some bad apples in that basket, especially this jerk and his sect, essentially a mafia gang: “Sex offender rabbi turned away from Ukraine border crossing ahead of Uman pilgrimage” (Times of Israel)
Good that Eliezer Berland and his thugs haven’t been let in! But sad to see that Israel is so tolerant towards criminal religious fanatics and radical right wingers. With terror supporter Ben Gvir in the Netanyahu government, the country has taken yet another step to the hard right. That dangerous coalition of political and religious fanatics will sooner or later turn Israel into a dictatorship like Iran, I’m afraid.
Can I ask Yana to marry me!๐
The answer is always NO if you don’t ask ๐
