Serah...
 
Just to straighten out your misconception: None of your cited and critized affirmations was "related to what happened to the Jewish population of Bukovina during WWII", but to nowadays Ukraine and Ukrainians.
 
However I'd like to reaffirm, dear Serah, that I'm sharing with you your appeal for more sensitiveness and tolerance to each other!
