It's quite simple. He has Jewish roots, and thus the history of Judaism is both nuanced and complex. Sure, there are sections of the Old Testament that call for the troops of Moses to kill all the non-virgin girls and keep the virgin girls for their own use, and that sure sounds like rape, pedophilia and child massacre, but you have to understand the time that that was written in if you expect anyone to be taken seriously. If not - your one dimensional view of that complex history is a joke. But Mohammed was an insane pedophile, because I read a line of the Koran. And you can't possibly understand what the Israelis have been through unless you've lived it. They have a rich history and you have to interpret their actions through the lens of that history - a history of oppression and homelessness, a history of being targeted by a government for extermination. If you had lived that you'd understand a little better. But black people are just plain nuts if they think we should care about their history of oppression. Who cares? Not me! I'm not racist so there's no racism, and if black people think there is, they are just greedy takers. Inner city youths. No fathers. Welfare queens. And we should cancel CRT, because dredging up the history of racism will just foster division.

Hello. My name is Oleksiy Sharadkin, I am the owner of SkyWideSystems company, and I have been a SOF operator since February 24. As you might know, on February 24 Russia attacked our country. Due to the differences in size, economies and human resources foreign military experts gave us a week ( the ruscists planned to hold a parade in Kyiv on the 4th day), but we have already been fighting for 4 month. We repulsed the offensive and drove the enemy back to the border in the Kiev, Chernigov and Sumy regions. You will find more information about the war on my FB page The situation is not so bad in a military sense thanks to the military assistance of the allies. We are no longer talking about the conquest of Ukraine. We are fighting in the east and in the south, reclaiming our land. The only one problem is that there are a lot of Russians, and elimination of them takes a lot of time. During this time they can cause irreparable harm to civilians in the occupied territories. You might have seen photos from Bucha. They are awful. The worst thing is that this is happening in all the territories that have been occupied. My subdivision liberated villages in the north of Ukraine - and I personally saw a raped and hanged 10-11 years old girl. In order to decrease the time of occupation, we need help. Not only the military (the situation here is not that bad, thank you), but also the economic one. I am asking the entire skydiving industry to stop all business with Russia. I am asking material manufacturers to stop selling any materials to Russia, and FOR Russia. Military equipment takes more than 80% of the turnover of Russian parachute manufacturers now! And given that the parachute industry is so small, it will be obvious to any rigger where these materials come from. You don't want to be considered suppliers of the Russian army, do you? I am also asking parachute equipment manufacturers to stop any sales of parachute equipment to Russia and FOR Russia. I am asking you to do this in order to cause the maximum possible damage to the Russian economy. The sale of parachute equipment is a high-margin business. It includes dropzones, shops, dealers, riggers. This is the money turnover and taxes, that help to finance Russian army and the genocide of Ukrainians. This is definitely not the vital kind of business. I'm asking you to do this because the skydive fraternity talks are not working any more. 76% of Russians support the war in Ukraine. It is more than it was in Nazi Germany! Given the size of Russia, and the amount of military equipment left after the Cold War, they will be destroying peaceful Ukrainians in the occupied territories for a very long time before we kill all of them. Therefore, I am asking you to strike at the Russian economy, to make them think about the food for their families, but not about the rape. To make them return to their home and leave Ukraine. You may ask: "what does the sale of one parachute mean for the economy"? Perhaps, nothing, or, perhaps, it might matter a lot. Such kind of letters are now written to all businesses operating in Russia. Those letters are already working against the Russian economy and are destroying it. Of course, one parachute sold will not destroy the Russian economy,but it will show your attitude towards the genocide in Ukraine. There are still some corporations that are trying to do business as usual with Russia or looking for workarounds. You can see them suffer reputational losses,because of that. Even one sold parachute will be noticed by the skydiving community in such a small industry The skydiving community will appreciate the side you took. Please choose the correct side. Help us defeat ruscism!

There is. But it's not called that - it's called Holocaust studies. And yes, there are plenty of republicans who want to cancel that. I experienced it myself in high school, where several Marianist teachers (including my history teacher) explained that Jews made a really big deal over the Holocaust for some reason, when in fact more Catholics died during the war and so they should get more attention and sympathy. Arthur Jones, a GOP candidate from Illinois, has claimed that the Holocaust was "the biggest, blackest lie in history" - "nothing more than an international extortion racket by the Jews." Chuck Johnson, a political adviser (and former Breitbart writer) who regularly meets with republican lawmakers: “I do not and never have believed the six million figure I think the Red Cross numbers of 250,000 dead in the camps from typhus are more realistic. I think the Allied bombing of Germany was a war crime. I agree with David Cole about Auschwitz and the gas chambers not being real.” David Cole, meanwhile, is a Holocaust denier and a Hollywood republican (and remarkably, a Jew) who ran the social group Republican Party Animals for years. Marjorie Taylor Greene: wearing a mask is "exactly the type of abuse" experienced by Jews during the Holocaust. (Now, most republicans are not Holocaust deniers because it doesn't play well, especially with them cozying up to neo-Nazis and white supremacists. That's been a bridge too far for most republicans - fortunately.) Why do they do this? Because by minimizing or denying the Holocaust they can act against Jews more freely. Alex Jones: several US Jews "are the head of the Jewish mafia in the United States. They run Uber, they run the health care, they’re going to scam you, they’re going to hurt you.” And unfortunately it's working. Most Americans don't know how many Jews were killed during the Holocaust. 55% of people in Texas can't name a single concentration camp. 23% of Americans think the Holocaust was either entirely faked or greatly exaggerated. 11% of Americans think the Holocaust was engineered by the Jews. All victories for anti-history republicans. As George Orwell says, "he who controls the past, controls the future." There are as many Jewish people who wear their oppression on their sleeves (just ask any Palestinian) as there are black people who wear their oppression on their sleeves (just ask FOX News.)

Then it must be Republican regulations that are hindering refinery capacity.

So toxic they are all experiencing record profits?

13 minutes! At least you’re improving. Make it an hour and you get a cookie.

I know I know!!!!! Pick me!

No angst here - you are the one who can't help himself from responding. You clearly subsist on a diet of right wing UK media nonsense and haven't quite yet realised you are the mark in the BoJo con.

Yet here you are. Pop off back to 'spoons now.

You mean those freeloading Ukrainian refugees who’ve just passed through all of Europe to get here? Hmm, I wonder why you think they’re ok but others aren’t. What could possibly be the difference?

Might I suggest that, if you feel that that's an example of a great 'own', that perhaps not supporting the sort of people who started the Holocaust (which was based on demonizing a group of people as inferior and lazy parasites who "feed off a host nation") would be wise.

The look of the new device comes across more as a DIY project a friend of mine created with a 3D printer, vs the more finished (injection molded) devices you tend to see from other manufacturers.
