@BenRossTransit anti-xxx is always a “factor” in any irredentism. the Russians go on about “khokhols”. in a war, there is always anti-enemy. the Russians become “vatniks”. the bigotry, as it usually is, is downstream from more material conflicts rather than the source of the conflicts. Jews are not as special as we think we are about these things, and we do ourselves disservice analytically and psychologically by pretending we are.
