Yes. To be with their people. Good idea, didn't work . Not worried about jao sorry
What people? There weren't Jews there until the Oblast was formed. Are you under some bizarre idea that Jews are indigenous to the far East of Siberia? There were no Jews there before 1934 when it was formed and they were forcibly sent there.
You are trying really hard to defend the idea that there was no antisemitism in the Soviet Union and it's utter nonsense as some of my relatives could have told you before they died. But you know those lying Jews can't be trusted, am I right?
he Soviet government entertained the idea of resettling all Jews in the USSR in a designated territory where they would be able to pursue a lifestyle that was "socialist in content and national in form".
^ it was an idea for their benefit. sure - it didnt work, but the intentions here were positive.
In the spring of 1928, 654 Jews arrived to settle in the area; however, by October 1928, 49.7% of them had left because of the severe conditions.
They left Karl - means it wasn't concentration camps gun to their heads.
After the war ended in 1945, there was renewed interest in the idea of Birobidzhan as a potential home for Jewish refugees. The Jewish population in the region peaked at around 46,000–50,000 Jews in 1948, around 25% of the entire population of the JAO.[15]
Again - Karl - do you remember the climate for jews back in the days ? noone would give them land. US turned jew ship back: https://www.history.com/news/wwii-jewish-refugee-ship-st-louis-1939 and they were all killed.
USSR should get nothing but a praise for giving them land and accepting jewish refugees.
Maybe it didnt work out in the end - but the intentions here were good and pure.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Autonomous_Oblastmaking it into some anti-communist spiel doesnt hold water.
The idea that shoving all the Jews into a tiny place in the middle of nowhere in Siberia was "for their benefit" is some real fucking revisionism along the lines of "the Nazis were just protecting themselves" as a defense of the Holocaust.
And this has nothing to do with communism and everything to do with Joseph Stalin.
The idea that the "intentions were pure" to force hundreds of thousands of Jews to live in a frozen hellscape is ridiculous- unless, of course, you think Jews deserve it.
I think life was just harder back then for everyone.
Got it. That's why the Nazis had to do what they did, right? Jews were making life just too hard in Nazi Germany. And they tried to exile all the Jews, but they couldn't. Hitler's intentions were pure, right? Anyone who would say otherwise is just attacking socialism, right?
Lol. Why u so stuck on WW2?
Jews are putting Palestinians into an open air concentration camp right this moment.
Bombed out 70% of Gaza and leaving these guys to die without aid.
And israel is capitalist. And us sending them weapons to keep bombing is capitalist.
Atrocities are not inherently associated with capitalism or socialism.
Yeah, that's what I thought. This is just antisemitic bigotry couched in Israel criticism as if Jews and Israelis are the same thing (we are not).
Hate does not belong in this community.
