Russian POWs look nothing of the kind after returning from captivity in Ukraine.
I’m not posting the really hardcore images to spare people’s sensibilities.
Don’t let childish contrarianism erase the evidence that’s right in front of you. Civilization versus barbarity is a conflict that always existed and it exists in our times, too.

Reminds me of how Palestinian prisoners look after spending just a few months in Israeli jails. Israeli hostages taken to tunnels come home looking well-fed and in good health, but Pal ones come emaciated after being raped, tortured, and almost left for dead. It is a horrific war crime in front of us. Ukraine treats Russian prisoners well, lets them exercise, etc. Palestinian “terrorists” keep Jewish captives in great shape in hopes of a prisoner exchange. But the barbarians on the other side never reciprocate.
Yes, it’s a clash of civilizations, and anyone who would do that to a prisoner, be it Putin or Netanyahu (and his ilk of barbarians) deserve their time at the Hague.

So you don’t care about the treatment of P.O.Ws then unless they’re Ukranian? Shame, cos Putin is a ghoul, same as Netanyahu. I won’t stop saying it just because the truth pisses you off.

“Reminds me of how Palestinian”
Of course it does…. Palestinians are your weapon of choice against western values and those who defend them.
Meanwhile russian state media tells russian soldiers to kill themselves rather than be taken prisoner and a russian officer said he didn’t want pows back because they should kill themselves.
Twist that into another love letter to the Palestinians…

Sorry if I happen to believe that the ethical treatment of prisoners is a Western value. Neither Netanyahu nor Putin respect that.
If you believe that raping and starving prisoners are Western value as you’ve implied, please feel free to say why. That sounds perverse and perverted to me. And if it’s not a Western value, why are you defending it?
I’m amazed at the cognitive dissonance I hear whenever the treatment of Palestinian prisoners come up.

It’s a point of honor in Ukraine to not mistreat POWs. People are holding on to their humanity because that’s the whole point. Why fight if you’ve already become like the enemy?
These are vast cultural differences we can observe. One day there will be studies explaining what caused this hire civilizational rift.

“to not mistreat POWs”
I saw a picture of russian pows on their way ‘home’ and they looked, healthy and simultaneously miserable…. they were probably treated better in Ukrainian captivity than at any time before in their lives…. (judging from the pow calls that have been filmed… in one horrible case the parents pretend to not recognize their son…. just hideous).

The conscripts in Kursk that were taken prisoners were downright happy because finally they were liberated from the abuse of the Chechens. This is why it drives me nuts when people call Putin a Russian nationalist. What Russian nationalist would handle over Russian boys to be raped by Chechens? It’s insane.

Genuine question: is there a reason that Ukraine treats prisoners better than Israel does? And why is Ukraine not the US ally with whom we have a strong unbreakable alliance? They seem to uphold Western values that Israel trashes every day without consequences. Is it Zelensky? Or is there something more fundamentally good and decent in Ukranian societies?
I’m genuinely curious. I’ve never heard one instance of Ukrainian soldiers raping prisoners or any such depravity that Israel does. Yet Biden would send arms to Israel without condition yet hold Ukraine back from doing what they need to do.

When I lost my son, a colleague was asked to substitute for me (for money, of course). But that meant her schedule would be less comfortable. She threw a fit, crying and yelling that nobody respected her trauma over my loss and that this reminded her of torture experienced by the victims of the Argentinean junta. She was not one of those victims, of course.

Oh, if only you could read, I answered this question already: the Russian treatment of Ukrainian prisoners is horrible, atrocious and inhumane — same as how Israel treats Palestinian prisoners. Both war crimes.
In this way, you’re right that I’m a single issue weirdo: I believe in ethical treatment of prisoners.

יום הדין על מה?
Simply not enough to run around like a chicken with its head cut off saying: “!יום הדין! יום הדין”.
What a total disgrace in the Yeshiva world! The fool rabbis fail to teach young students יום הדין על מה?. What an utter abysmal error. Answer: “יום הדין על הברית”.
To cut a Torah oath brit requires שם ומלכת. Another silly dumbass rabbinic incompetence. The rabbis take a literal טיפש פשט of these two absolutely critical undefined terms; they fail to connect the mitzva of blowing the shofar as the בנין אב precedent wisdom, of just how the Cohen Ha’Gadol pronounces the שם השם לשמה. These rabbinic morons equally fail to affix one of the 13 tohor middot, first revealed to Moshe, 40 Days after the Golden Calf,, as the required term, מלך of ברכות.
These rabbinic morons likewise fail to point out that ברכת כהנים, קראה שמע, ושמון עשרי כולם חוסר שם ומלכות…required to swear a Torah oath/brit and likewise swear a Torah blessing. Furthermore these rabbinic morons fail to teach the מאי נפקא מינא question which separates and makes the required הבדלה between תהלים כנגד שמון עשרי. The former a שבח whereas the latter a ברכה, which requires שם ומלכות – as do all sworn Torah oaths. All through the month of Elul uneducated Yidden cry out unto the 13 middot Oral Torah revelation, yet never once ask: what separates the k’vanna from אל to רחום to חנון to ערך הפנים etc.
The sin of the Golden Calf\avoda zarah translated יהוה to a word: specifically to the word אלהים. But any perversion of the רוח הקודש שם השם לשמה to word distortions, equals to –the sin of the Golden Calf. Hence the 13 middot breathe as Spirits and NOT SPOKEN WORDS.
The Thirteen Attributes of Mercy (Shelosh-‘Esreh Middot HaRakhamim) their revelation of the פרדס Oral Torah. The Breath of the Divine: they breath spirits rather than pronounce words from the lips of Man. Hence Oral Torah logic, worlds apart from the logic developed by Plato, Aristotle and later by Hagel. These attributes, not merely linguistic expressions; they most essentially serve as conduits of Divine-life energy to the Cohen Chosen People.
These tohor time-oriented commandments require k’vanna. It requires prophetic mussar to interpret the k’vanna of the 13 tohor middot. When the shofar: blown, it emits spirit middot, together with a physical sound. Words too emit sounds. But words do not compare to spirit middot. The interplay between the physical and the spiritual, the tangible and the ineffable.
When the shofar sounds, it’s as if the Divine breathes Life unto the Souls of His Chosen People. Just as the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy, Spirits more than words, so too the shofar more than just sounds. They intersect in that liminal space—the place where language meets spirit. Man lives through the spirits he breaths and not through words he speaks.
ברית means oath sworn alliance between allies. To swear a Torah oath requires שם ומלכות. No word captures the רוח הקודש שם השם לשמה. In fact word translations define the sin of the Golden Calf throughout the generations of Man Kind on this Earth.
The Hebrew term מלכות too does not translate as “king”. Swearing a Torah oath or swearing a תפילה while standing before a Sefer Torah, hence the שמון עשרי also called “Amidah”/standing prayer. Why? A person must stand before a Sefer Torah to swear a Torah oath brit. The false translation covenant does not transport this crucial idea. Hence covenant a bad translation of ברית.
The mitzva of תפילה a Man swears an oath of dedication by which he commits to behave in the future with family, friends, or people, with prophetic mussar defined middot. The prophetic vision of the NaCH prophets: they define through mussar the k’vanna of the 13 פרדסOral Torah middot revealed to Moshe Rabbeinu at Horev 40 days after the Sin of the Golden Calf translation perversion which corrupted יהוה unto the word אלהים.

No, we should never enjoy contempt towards people, no matter what religion we are or even if we are atheists. Contempt should be reserved for contemptible things, abject feelings and their expression. Towards people, even the most misguided, we must always show compassion. We can only despise things that are said or deeds that are done, not the people that say or do those things. I know it’s hard, but I try to do it even if I may not always succeed.
