What a Great Read. I was surprised to learn of the Circassians villages . I remember reading somewhere that there were Circassian villages in Israel.

Imagine the Russians commited a real genocide, something so horrific, it cant be described.

The irony is the horrors inflicted on the Circassians, and Israeli's , the two people fates have become so intertwined.

If there are any two people that truly deserve to be left alone , these are them.

Thanks Mark - just to clarify, Fassuta isn't a Circassian village.

What i was referring to was that there were Circassians in Israel.

Another reason to admire Israel.

After this Gaza war is over, Israel's biggest battle will be dealing with non-Jews on a basis of equality. Countries usually make big lurches towards social change during wars.

I hope we will make some progress in that direction.

I don't think there's a choice in the matter. Do or die.

In this case I think an analogy to the US is legit. After WW2 we simply couldn't put off dealing w/our race problem any further.
