Me: It is a well-known fact that Jews in Eastern Europe, including Poland, were never considered citizens of the countries in which they lived.

You: It's not known to me.

You ARE aware that, under the czar, Jews were severly restricted as to what part of the country they could live in, are you not? Do you call that citizenship?

In 1882, my father's grandfather was told that the town in which he had grown up would no longer be a place in which Jews were allowed. He made the wise decision to emigrate to the United States and never looked back.

So I guess they should be primarily loyal to America and not Israel, eh?

Any American Jew who wins a Nobel Prize is rightly listed as an American, without question.

And I find it interesting that a Russia-Firster, such as yourself would question other people's loyalty to the United States.

And serfs were restricted to what village they could live in. You are talking about hardships, not citizenship.

And when the pale of settlement was lifted, Russia had Bolshevik revolution. Thanks a lot.

A counter-attack, eh? I don't see how Russians living in the US lobby for special treatment and aid to Russia and that they are brought up with the primary loyalty to their tribe.
