1. Loyalty
Lloyd ,   Sweden   (12.23.14)
Well..nice for them! But this will also make things harsh for the jews staying. They will be blamed for being more loyal to Israel than Ukraine. How can you expect to be treated equal if you do not stand up and fight when your country needs you? This makes you no different from the millions of muslims living in Europe. Sad, since there are people like me who are trying to defend the jewish population's rights here in Europe. But I guess I'm just euro trash to you lot?
2. It is such a shame that "our People" are forced to rip up
(12.23.14)
their roots (that are elsewhere) and flee their homes as result of approaching dark clouds. Aliyah is fine when done on a sunny day, with song on the lips and heart full of joy. Not under a gun....The young children should be OK though....
3. #1 : the objects of loyalty
jd   (12.25.14)
Lloyd, Moving to Israel is a practical move here as fighting will not help these families get shelter this winter. If people who choose to stay, out of loyalty to their host country, still have their loyalty questioned, presumably because they are Jews, then perhaps they should re-consider the object of their loyalty.
4. Welcome, of course...
welcome?   (12.25.14)
"As long as the state of Israel exists and as long as there are IDF soldiers who protect us" . How old are you, man? Come on! Your sons will be the next soldiers. Israel does not grant you citizenship for free. Good luck. You will need it. BTW, learn hebrew, please.
5. Ukrainians
Lloyd ,   Sweden   (12.26.14)
Host country? They are Ukrainians, aren't they?
