    Her husband and mother appear to be of Macedonian heritage. Her family has been in Macedonia for generations and she has a Macedonian national identity. She is a better Macedonian than Zaev.

    I think it is the broader, national identity, as opposed to the more narrow, ethnic identity. Pitu Guli fought and died with a group that used 'Macedonia for the Macedonians' as its motto and sought the liberation of Macedonia as an autonomous or independent state. Such actions indicate that he espoused a Macedonian national identity and that is why he is accepted as one of us despite having a different ethnic background. In the article, the SDS activists seem more interested in attacking Mizrahi's Jewish heritage rather than contesting her Macedonian identity. Which other defenders of Macedonian liberty do you believe weren't accepted as one of us?

    I wish more Macedonians were good Macedonians.
    I wish more Albanians were good Macedonians also.

    As Rasela Mizrahi becomes a hero to some on the right, others on the left unleash the biggest post-Holocaust torrent of hatred ever seen by the country's Jewish community of 200
