    To me this means that Putin want Ukraine in the worst way possible and doesn't care who gets in his way. Putin is an evil man and I mean it!

    No. All he or anyone else has to do is profess/practice Judaism and/or have Isreali citizenship. Either would do but as far as I can ascertain neither applies to Ecclestone (and I did try to check). And now on with your argument - whatever it was ...

    You should step away from the fake bullshit a while. It seems you fall for everything the comedian that plays piano with his dick puts out.

    Err no. Why is this so hard for you . In order for Ecclestone or anyone else to be considered 'Jewish' they can have citizenship, have adopted the religion or have acknowledged their decent. As far as can be determined none of these things apply to Ecclestone. Disagree? Fine prove it.

    Err... Bill? Zelenskyy has acknowledged his Jewish upbringing (fact). He just doesn't talk about it much. So whats your point? To the extent you ever actually have one that is.

    Another "goodwill gesture": Russians lose an Alligator near Zmiinyi (Snake) Island

    ...

    Quote: "Yesterday one of four helicopters, likely Ka-52s, which flew close to Zmiinyi Island was damaged and fell into the sea between the island and the Odesa gas condensate field.

    The Ruscists were trying to organise a search-and-rescue operation, but the helicopter was invited to land on the Moskva cruiser."

    ... https://news.yahoo.com/another-goodwill-gesture-russians-lose-165000962.html

    Memetastic reporting :D Glory to Ukraine!

    Thank you but no. Some of what I see, hear and read are pretty much true facts and I call them as I see them. None of what has been published is not Fake B******T. I try to state the true facts and as I see it. That's all I'm going to say for now. Have a good day.

    Look at Donetsk football team, half black.

    Generations of history? It's simply history of colonialism. Remember that?

    So which is it to be really Jewish in your book, profess or practice?

    Serious question? Well of the three options (citizenship, practice and/or profess) the first two are no brainers. Profess? That's possibly a bit more, I guess tenuous would be the best descriptor and could perhaps be argued to vary on case by case basis. I'm no expert on the topic and haven't researched it. But a Jewish woman marrying into the gentile community and then her female descendants all doing the same for 10 generations? Sounds like a question for Rabbi.

    This started with you discrediting Bernie based on his lacking real Jewish credentials and so icompared his with Israeli citizen and it turns out he aligns with a good half of them. Does that mean you now will discredit the validity of half the Jewish ppl in Israel?

    Morning Sir, I didn't even know Donetsk had a football team.
    Don't live your life in the past mate, history is abbreviated with events good and bad so try and put the past in perspective and strive to make the future better. History does not repeat itself despite the old addage.

    I'm a historian so that's what ido. Yes Donetsk was one of the best teams in Europe a few seasons ago but then Ukraine started bombing them. They have a lot of Brazilians living there. Russian teams began to invest heavily in Brazil and so many players came over to Russia and took on russian citizenship.

    No. Go back and re-read my original post. I criticized the Ecclestone as a supporter of Putin based on his past actions and statements. His f'ing religious beliefs or lineage, whatever they are had ZERO to do with it. Another poster raised the issue of Ecclestone's alleged 'Jewishness', not me. This was done in an attempt ( I presume) to cast my remarks as somehow being antisemitic. (Which if nothing else shows how desperate and lacking in moral scruples some people on the pro-Russian side of this thread really are.)

    And so one more time for you - because you obviously failed to grasp (or have deliberately chosen not to) what was actually posted.

    My response to that allegation was that, as far as I was aware there was no evidence that Ecclestone was;

    a) A citizen of Israel;
    b) An active adherent of Judaism;
    c) Had at any time publicly asserted a connection 'Jewishness' on the basis of familial linage.

    Which doesn't mean he is not a citizen, an adherent or has in fact has publicly proclaimed at some time a connection to Judaism, just that I could not find/am not aware any such. And if you can produce confirming any of the three points above? Fine, well done! All you proved is that Ecclestone is or at least has claimed to be Jewish at some time in the past.

    Which, in the end has absolutely NOTHING to do with what I actually posted. Now are we done here? Or do I have literally to send you drawings in crayon to get the point across?

    It's you that failed to grasp the situation, bringing up the Hitler remark when Bernie is Jewish was pointless. Is he not allowed a voice? What makes your comments any more relevant than his?


    Not entirely sure what point you're trying to make from the start tbh. You appear to be running around in circles doing nothing. Your slander failed.

    Read up on Ecclestone. If you were in the dock in desperate need of character witness would you choose him? His comments on Hitler are just one example of why you almost certainly wouldn't. In any event this entire stupid discussion only started because someone else held him up as an 'exemplar' of courage etc etc for supporting Putin. I responded to that comment by pointing out some (not all ) of the reasons why this was not the case. His comments on Hitler perhaps being the least of it but also probably the most well remembered. And also doubly relevant since according to Putin this war is in large part about defeating 'Nazism'. And come on, I ask you, would he lie about something so important?

    Ukraine = worthy victims while Yemen = unworthy victims.

    The reason, UK is funding the Saudi slaughter of Yemen children. It would mean the EU putting sanctions on UK which clearly won't happen because Europeans are the biggest hypocrites ever.

    I'm not buying your demonization of Putin I'm afraid. It's been a poorly constructed argument and cannot sway from the hard facts of what Putin stands for and what NATO stands for. NATO stands for white supremacy and Putin stands in its way.

    Demonize Putin, where? I just pointed out that Putin said this war was, in part about defeating Nazism (true fact). And now suddenly we're going off on a tangent talking about him (Putin). I assume BTW that's because you now acknowledge that the points I made about Ecclestone and the context in which they were made had nothing to do with his 'Jewishness' or lack thereof. But at this late hour? Sorry, I have no intention of going off down new rabbit holes. I'm out, for now. Maybe later if I can be bothered.

    Seems that everyone can say the same about you repeating Putins propaganda.

    That's nothing, most posters here didn't even know Donetsk existed 5 months ago.

    Putin demonized himself when he made for the land grab with failed propiganda. That had nothing to do with what any of us type here.

    You just seem to go along with it, and get all obtuse when evidence contradicts Putins BS.

    He wants more land, thinking he's Peter the great and apparently you and many other Trump supporters apologize for him with condemnations of America's past actions he failed to learn from.
