The distinction in our world should not be jews vs goyim, but good vs bad! P.S. This is the distinction, by which God will judge us! Do not fall to satan's trap into dividing human beings into jews vs goyim! All of us are one! And each human being will bear the weight of his own deeds! Be fair to others and to yourself! Be good, do not be bad! Believe in God, do not be of disbelievers! May the light of truth remain with you!

"So, some Jews were criminals and mass murderes, how does this have any impact or even make any kind of commentary on Judaism" replace: Jews with Germans or Arabs and Judaism with Christian or Muslim... Consider what will happen when the russians will open the Cheka/NKVD/KGB records that cover the 80 year-holocaust not only in the Soviet Union but its satellites...

"Does that mean the world is justified seeking the destruction and elimination of the entire Jewish people? " The world isn't and doesn't. This sad Reader is exercising transference which shows the ugly side of those who know the truth and would rather project it on another, because truth acknowledged tears down the illusion of a lifetime of indoctrination and induces with fear of the guilty.

"you may find out that your grandmother’s grandfather was also a Jew". My Grandmother's family left the shtetl and the faith in response to the intolerable ignorance, racism and violence. She's my role model.

My thanks to Mr. Sever Plocker's incisive and truthful account of some of the Stalinist henchmen responsible for the death of millions.

that stuff like this never appears in the "American" press, isn't it? But of course, we all know why that is.

ghengis hun, hitler, himmler, lenin, dzierzynski, stalin, beria, Mao, Pol Pot, yagoda and his deputies? is this a true list od "greatest murderers of our times"? where is this tendency to go to the confessional coming from? all world knows for quite long time that Hitler's murderous machine was aimed externally and Stalin's internally, and finally, thanks to Dr. Halfin, Tel Aviv knows it too. It is not that we don't want to know about the Jews who served those mass murderers like Stalin, but why we should be the only ones to self-flagellate? 38.5% of top echelon of the GPU was Jewish? And what did the remaining 61.5% do? Play cards? I don't recall any other ethnic or national group feeling guilty about some of their group being part the bolshevik murderous empire? why should we? And what should we get from the "Yezhov was blessed with a active Jewish wife"? Or, "Stalin was surrounded by beautiful, young Jewish women". Was that an example of criminal, murderous activity? You lead your life life according to Jewish ideals if you don't do to others, what you don't want to be done to you. There was nothing intrinsically Jewish about those communist villains. We do not have to ask for forgiveness because of them. They do.

I am not Jewish in any way, and don't pretend to be. I see a lot of people saying that this article supports anti-semitism, and those people are stupid. If you can't accept the truth for what it is then you are living in a dream world. I am not saying that anti-semitism doesn't exist or even that this article won't be used by people with anti-semitic beliefs, but the truth is the truth you can't hide from it.

This article does bring out some historical facts. Let’s not start pointing fingers at any specific nationality because people in general are capable horrible acts. Jews or anyone else who does not abide by The Word of God the Bible will not understand the concept of evil. Soviet system was a godless society which allowed evil to flourish and Jews and others were just part of this evil machine.

As a Jew, I found this article very useful , besides being interesting. Good for Ynet for publishing it. These historical facts do not take away anything from Jews as people and that anti-Semites use them does not make any difference to me. History is history. Stalin's commissars acted as communists and not as Jews. I have grown up in that country as many other Jews, and only thing I remember is a rampant anti-Semitism from every fiber of that society. I never knew and never was taught in school that we , Jews , were such great contributors to the Soviet power, the only thing I knew that we are anti-Soviet element and that Dora Kaplan , a Jew, shot Lenin (that I was told in the first grade). I don't know what those Stalin's Jews were more: idiots or bastards. I think equally both, let them rot in their graves and I spit on them.

This has been the very root cause of anti-semitism, Jews Kill. They kill intellectually, economically and physically.

The Bolsheviks were financed by the banker Schiff out of New York. As is well known, the Schiffs and the Rothschilds shared the same house in Frankfurt's Judengasse. Therefore, while certain Jewish elite may indeed be blamed for Bolshevism, it is not correct to blame all Jews.

Truth about these crimes will set the world free. Truth and honesty about the millions murdered in Russia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe et al = end terrorism, murders, deaths and lead humanity to real true peace.

I'm a christian woman that was raised in the 50s. It seems that for most of my life I've heard read and seen stories about the Holocaust. My heart bled when as a little girl, I read "The Diary of Ann Frank". I really believe that the atrocity of the holocaust was presented to me as the worst genocide of all time. Since the onset of the internet I've learned of many genocides. When I learned of the jewish participation in the Russian revolution, my general feeling was one of betrayal and distrust. Covering up, hiding facts and portraying one's own group as being the most oppressed simply isn't a good idea. It will, I think, hurt jewish people in the long run.

How can anybody accuse the writer of this article of being anti-semitic? He is only trying to give an honest opinion of something that happened in the past. It is silly to ignore history, or be selective about which parts we learn our lessons from. If Sever Plocker has made mistakes, then point them out to him.

I am the child of holocaust survivors, whose family was murdered in Poland. But I knew nothing about the Ukrainian holocaust until I read some books about it much later, in the Ben Gurion University library of Israel of all places. Then I understood why so many Ukrainians collaborated to murder so many of our Jews when the Nazis first came in. We have to admit the truth. Many Jews willingly, and some Jews unwillingly, were used in Stalin's scheme to collectivize and to murder millions of peasants who were in his way. The Jewish Left should know they have a lot of blood on their hands, whether they know it or not. While most of those Jews who were involved ultimately were destroyed in Stalin's later purges, the facts are the facts, and they are not deniable. We ask Germans to admit and repent of their crimes. We ask Turks to recognize what they did to the Armenians. The Jewish Left too must learn, own up, and repent as well. Jews are not blameless. My grandparents had nothing to do with Communism, but they paid the price with their lives nonetheless.

my grandmother was jewish from balkans in so called croatia/ she loved yagoda and people that hit the catholic and uniate swine like the west ukrainians and nazi tatars and croats and lithuanians. you are billion per cent in the wrong mister. just go to croatia or ukraine and say you are a jew. the more they killed of these bastards the better. do not be such aquisling please. i thought so too until i visited these parts r

I aplaud your partial honesty in describing the Jewish involvement with Bolshevism and its horror. However, according to Solshenitsyn and many others the Jewish nature of the torture apparatus was far worse than you so dantily describe it It is after all a Lenin statement which said: No one is as cruel as a Jew. Your incessant harping on `the other´ criminals´ (meaning the Germans) also is supspect, since it was World Jewry which declared war on Germany in 1933, thereby making every Jew his mortal enemy. Furthermore, the Jewish population which had lived like Croesus in Germany at the expense of the indigenous population, did not speak out against this Jewish outrage. And I could go on and on. The crimes committed by Jews against the world are so heinous, so all-inclusive, so terrible, that no matter how many of you acknowledge monsters like Kaganovich, it will matter not. Incidentally, if you are so concerned, why don´t you extradite Morel to Poland to stand trial as one of the supreme monsters of the post-war era? and while we ae at it, why don´t you draw me a plan for a working gas chamber and how do you explain 6 million dead which did not leave behind even a single bone, much less the 15.000 tons of bones and ashes they should have? And how come no arguments are ever advanced but merely name calling, character asassination and blackmail when asking simple questions like `How?´ You are hypocrits, liars and embezzlers, no more. Gerry Frederics

Yes, see Revelation 3:9 also. Only these two Churches new who these people were and the Lord had favor with them AND NOT THE OTHERS.

Blaming Jews for crimes committed during the Stalinist era is unethical because those who committed the crimes are now dead. It's immoral and self fulfilling to carry forward generational grudges.

Jews played a big role in Stalin's murderous regime. Currently, it appears blacks play a big role in US crime. If today's Jews are to suffer for yesterday's Jewish crimes, why not make today's blacks suffer for today's black crimes?

Are you implying that you are racist against non-Jews. Look at history, don’t ever forget history, because it always repeats itself, and you will get yours.

Very honest and worth reading article. A lot of Jews have hard time to face the truth but we must. Thank you again.

This is a very interesting topic, and it's about time someone started writing about it. History must be investigated impartially, regardless of the light it shines on the subject at hand - a negative or a positive one. Unfortunaley, writing about heinous moments in history that jews were responsible for...that's a no-no. You know Mr. Plocker is probably going to lose his job, his house will be set on fire, and he will be cast out of Israel. And, most definitely, certainly, no doubt about it whatsoever, we will never see Spielberg (or any Hollywood director, for that matter) make a movie on this topic.

To all those who criticised Mr Plocker, I think it was a carefully reasoned argument. No nation or group of people is always innocent. I am of Irish extraction and it was terrible what happened to us over 800 years but once we ruled all of NW Europe and invaded Great Britain. No one is innocent. Please try not to feel sorry for yourselves and please try to face reality. Shalom

the author's honesty is refreshing

Very similar views expressed in the 1920's well know Russian antysemite V.V. Shulgin 'Chto nam v nich ne naravitsya'. see also Yuri Slezkin The jewish century. Very good read!

I commend you for your courage and integrity. Living in Miami, FL and NYC, I was enjoyed the friendship of many Jews. But as I grew more aware of the dark side of what has really happened historically and what is happening now with Israel and the USA "neocons", I find that I need to bite my tongue among the Jews I know here in San Miguel de Allende. Of course, the same could be said for Christians and Americans, especially Americans. All of whom refuse to acknowledge reality. Speaking the truth is a courageous act in these times.

soviet security forces were established by Polish aristocrat Leon Dzerdzinsky its first name was Ochrana {security} in some places it contained up to ninety percent of Jews. GPU was and is Soviet and Russian military security.Anything between 40-50 million were murdered.
