    mirhond---do you ever really read your own quoted articles?

    Again reread your own quoted article---no wonder you did not answer my point four. Ranting is easy --defending one's own views really hard to do well if they are not your views.

    mirhond---by the way your style, mimicking poor English abilities, poor use of photos as an argument and not reading your own quoted article (mis use of quoted material)supporting in theory your view leads me to believe what ---KGB/FSB or GRU? Why---you failed to ask me to show you a very specific lanced KGB/FSB article from yesterday which is a perfect depiction of their I/O operations that are currently going on in support of Putin.

    Ira Forman, the US special envoy on anti-Semitism, dismissed Russian President Putin's claims that Ukrainian revolutionaries were Jew-haters.
    "We have no indication that what President Putin has been saying about anti-Semitism has been a true reflection of what's happening on the ground," he said.

    Ukraine is home of around 200,000 Jews and many are reported to have actively supported the revolution.

    Putin has said that Russia's biggest concern was "the rampage of reactionary forces, nationalist and anti-Semitic forces going on in certain parts of Ukraine, including Kiev".

    However, earlier this week, a leading Ukrainian rabbi said he saw no sign of hostility toward Jews from nationalists involved in last month's uprising but was cautious on whether there could be a rise in anti-Semitic threats.

    Moshe Reuven Azman, a Chief Rabbi in Ukraine, told a press conference he was not aware of newanti-Semitic acts since Yanukovich's fall and had not heard anti-Jewish statements from leaders of extreme-right parties. He cautioned against speculation on the issue being "exploited" for political ends.

    "There's no big, general Ukrainian problem," Azman said, playing down some instances of Jews being attacked in the street and the firebombing of a provincial synagogue during the past few months of protests. He contrasted post-Soviet Ukraine's tolerance with "official anti-Semitism" in Soviet times.

    Of newly prominent movements like the paramilitary Right Sector, active in fighting police last month, he said: "I make a distinction between nationalism and Nazism. With nationalism, you love your own people. Nazism is when you hate others.
