Ukrainian Lawmaker Targets Jewish Actress with Racial Slur
inn ^ | 12/24/12 | Rachel Hirshfeld

A Ukrainian lawmaker from the far-right Svoboda Party has provoked international condemnations after referring to Jewish actress Mila Kunis as a “zhydovka”, a Ukranian slur that translates to “dirty Jewess,” on his Facebook page.

“She is not Ukrainian, she is a Jewess by birth. She is proud of this and the Star of David,” politician Igor Miroshnichenko wrote on in the online message. “[S]he says nothing and expresses nothing positive about the country in which she was born. I can’t bring myself to say she is Ukrainian. Let her love America or Israel, people must not attach her to the Ukraine!”

The Ukrainian Justice Ministry maintained that Miroshnichenko did nothing wrong because the word is included in a Ukrainian academic dictionary as an archaic term for Jew and is not considered a slur. The Ministry ruled that the use of the word "zhyd" and its feminine derivative "zyhdovka" to describe a Jew is legal and acceptable.

Almost identical words exist in Czech and Slovak: Žid and Židovká.

The farther East you go, the deeper the anti-Semitism.

Mila Kunis is a liberal dimwit who would like nothing more than for people who think like me to just die, while entirely failing to realize or care that for a significant part of my life I was pledged to do exactly that, if necessary, in defense of her right to say so.

For this Ukrainian upizdysh, on the other hand, I give not one himno.

Old Joke:

An old Jew was sitting on a bench in Russia and a KGB officer saunters over to him and says in Russian:

“You Jews are all going to Hell”

To which the old Jew responded in Russian:

“That’s ok. I already know the language”

On the other hand, there is the Hope that one day she will come to know the Lord Jesus Christ in a personal way. I think we all will be quite surprised to find who is in Heaven, and who is not.

And won’t change until the devil and his followers are cast into the lake of fire—this is, every person opposed to God and His will, as revealed in the Bible.

Christians are persecuted and have been for centuries, but what people on the face of the earth have endured so much hatred and persecution and attempts to annihilate them, as have the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, for 4 thousand years? You have to ask “why”?

As a Bible-believing Christian, I believe that the answer is more specific than just general opposition to God and His will. Satan has attempted to wipe out the Jewish people because of God’s promised Annointed One, the Messiah, through the line of Judah and David. There were attempts through men to kill Jesus from birth to the end.

And Satan doesn’t give up, as he doesn’t believe that he is defeated and will lose the title deed to the earth, plus when the Lord returns to this earth to rule and reign from Jerusalem, the believing Jews are going to lead the rest of the world in worship of the Most High and Holy God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Christian’s God.

I can hardly wait to see His people vindicated and for the glorious reign of Christ, a reign of justice and righteousness.

Zhidovka means JEWISH WOMAN.

It’s not a slur - don’t create stories......

True wit is unappreciated in this day and age, thanks for the magnificent joke!

I never understood the abject hatred for people following a peaceful religion. Yet, followers of an evil and violent religion get treated with kid gloves.
