By the way, how can Jews have been the dispraportionate victems of anti-Kulak campeigns when kulak's (fists) were the middle class farmers of the old Empire, almost all Russians/Ukrainians and Belarussians?

I was a little sloppy here. I used Kulak instead of the more general term for non-proletariates.
Jews were Kulaks, but far more were petty bourgious or shopkeepers and were thus all killed off. However, Jewish landowners were specifically targeted in large numbers.

Sorry to point something out there, the Jewish landowners did not get special treatment because they were jews, they were killed by fellow jews who were running the state terror organs and were killing off any ethnic middle class. Jews were not the sole or the majority of the victems here and no matter how this is turned it will never seem that way. Whole villages of ethnic Russians and Ukrainians were simply exterminated for resisting collectivism. And for the record, half the people killed in the concentration camps by the Nazies were Christians, mostly Poles. Jews have suffered, but to say they have some kind of monopoly on being persecuted and are innocent of persecution is ludicrous to the extreme....abserve the comments of how the Hebrews treated the minority Semaritans....who were also Jewish by religion.
