Simply Incredulous

Jews have historically had a real tough time within the Russian empire.  And that’s putting it mildly.

So when the Jewish president of Ukraine recently inspired the world by standing up to Russian aggression, truth was indeed stranger than fiction.

As British journalist Ben Judah wrote, “If you’d told many of our great-grandparents in the Pale [ghetto] that a Jewish man would be a Ukrainian war leader against a Russian invasion they would have blinked incredulously.”

Yet President Zelensky is not one to blink first.  Not even when he is number one on the enemy’s hit list.
