When will people wake up....in most cases there has to be something negative happen before they understand the evil that is prowling around trying to destroy people.....In my opinion, God is allowing a lot of things to happen to wake people up and make them see the truth.

Jews that choose to stay in Ukraine right now are nuts.

I don't think Zyhd means kike. I had a Russian Culture professor in college in the US that said in Russian, people call Jews the Russian word for Hebrew and the actual word for Jew is used as a slur. So Zyhd probably means Jew and looks similar to Yid, the word for Jew in Yiddish. So the context is bad but the word is okay. Only an Anti-Semite would think Jew is an insult like when some Ebonics speaker says "Hey Jew". Some people are overly "politically correct" in English and think the word for a Jew is "Jewish person". I find that offensive. A Jew is a Jew. The plural is Jews. Jewish is the adjective. I only use the term People after Jewish when capitalized meaning Am Yisrael (The Jewish People).
