In 1928, Jews from across the Soviet Union traveled to the Russian Far East. They were trying to build themselves a promised land. They brought their families, set up schools and created a community there. It took years of hard work but finally they built a capital city. Its called Birobidzhan. Find out more about Russias Jewish autonomous region from James Brown on RT.

  • anybody knows the lady at minute 25.19 ?

  • All the money sent to the USSR went into Stalin's coffers, of course. The Birobidzhan support orgs in Canada lasted into the early 50's. The creation of Israel rather killed the movement, which had 10K members in Canada at its height.

  • It's a pity that all the comments seem to about things other than Birobidzan because it's an interesting part of Soviet history. I first heard of the place back in the 90's when I attended a talk at the U of Calgary given by a U of Toronto history prof. He had taught himself to read Yiddish and went through all the Canadian Yiddish papers of the 30's, 40's and 50's that related to the JAR. There was a big movement in Canadian Jewish circles back then to send money to the USSR for the JAR.

  • @amixofeverything I was replying to a guy who said all jews are bad and should be killed.I was trying to explain to him that its not as black and white as he seemed to think. I never claimed to know all Jews.

    I suggest you find someone else to bark at with your retarded douche bag self righteous crap ... You dont impress me and I really dont care about your opinions so dont bother. Try to find someone who cares and bark at him instead since you seem desperate to bark at someone

  • @Mankindfails Research before you speak. "Goyim" does not mean "not Jewish". It means, in Hebrew, nations. In the Bible, Jewish people are called a "goy kadosh", a holy nation. There is a bit of racism among some Jewish people, but not all. Who the fuck are you to have any say in who should live and who should die? You don't know every single Jew on earth, you racist fuck. And, no, I'm not Jewish.

  • @Mankindfails -observation.

    As for the Jews in prominent positions of power execution is the only solution. But as I said re-educating the regular Jewish populace is still just like treating a virus, it still has the chance of coming back to cause harm to it's host.

  • @Mankindfails No, but these so called 'average person' Jews still mutilate their own children, still are indoctrinated with racial supremacy, etc.

    .If we want to take a chance and a VERY large chance I suppose we can send 'regular Jews' to an isolated island to be re-educated in concentration camps for at least a generation before going back to assimilate into a decent moral society/culture. We would need people willing to act as authority figures to the Jews and keep them under close observat-

  • @G1987Jason And lots of jews call us Goyims meaning `not jewish` and not `cattle` lots of jews are married with goyims lots of them had a parent that wasnt jewish most jews arent religious but I agree with you that killing all of them would solve alot of problems but then we would be as worst as them and you dont know what times can do to a nation look at todays Vikings they're very human and all I'm sure there's a way to deal with the jews without commiting a genocide a costly one but still...

  • @G1987Jason If you fall into the hardcore racism you're not helping your cause.I dont blame you I know how jews are easy to hate when you know what you're talking about but these days you cant say anything about the jews and the Israelis terrorists without being called an anti semite (aldo Arabs and such are the real semitic peoples) So we have to rely on the good jews that you say dont exist to denounce them like Norman Finkelstein or judge Goldstone.

  • @G1987Jason Well ... what can I say there's alot of jews in alot of countries so how can you possibly believe that all of them are supremasit Nazi lots of them just go to work watch movies and dont care about all this crap Its like the USA you cant blame 300 million people cause they start wars and because most of the evil corporations comes from there its like saying there's no such things as good Americans.History shows us that jews as a whole are absolutly horrible but not each individual
