Secretary of State John Kerry reacted to a report Thursday that Jews in one restive Ukrainian city were sent notices telling them to register, a development he called "grotesque."
Kerry's comments follow a report in Israel's Ynet News that a leaflet was circulating in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk, demanding that Jews register -- as well as provide a list of property they own -- or else face deportation and revocation of citizenship. Pro-Russian activists have asserted partial control over some government buildings in that city.
Ynet reported that the notices, sent as the Passover holiday began, were signed by Denis Pushilin, chairman of Donetsk's temporary government -- though Ynet reports that Pushilin confirmed the flyers came from his organization, "but denied any connection to the leaflet's content."
The notices reportedly were sent to areas where pro-Russian activists have declared the region as a "people's republic" in defiance of the central Ukrainian government.
While questions circulated about the origin of the flyers, Ynet reported the flyers said that because Jewish community leaders supported a Ukrainian nationalist movement and "oppose the pro-Slavic People's Republic of Donetsk," the interim government has decided: "that all citizens of Jewish descent, over 16 years of age and residing within the republic's territory are required to report to the Commissioner for Nationalities in the Donetsk Regional Administration building and register."
The notices reportedly demand Jews pay a $50 registration fee.
Kerry addressed the flyer reports..
"Just in the last couple of days, notices were sent to Jews in one city indicating that they have to identify themselves as Jews," he said. "In the year 2014, after all of the miles traveled and all of the journey of history, this is not just intolerable -- it's grotesque. It is beyond unacceptable."

But the people doing the registration here are RUSSIAN nationalists.
The Galician SS division was in opposition to the Russian Communists.
So the people accusing the Ukrainian Right of being Nazis are themselves persecuting Jews...for opposing Russian nationalism...which is motivated by the supposed resurgent Ukrainian Nazis. Who of course would persecute Jews...or are...or will...
Clear now?
No, it’s not too early. It’s on the cusp of being too late.
Sad. But true. Russia is rebuilding the USSR.
I bet the Eastern Europeans are a little nervous right now.
Do something? Really do something?
Kerry's done nothing but run and talk his entire life and has been rewarded handsomely by the Democrats for it. He knows nothing about "doing".
Wait! Wasn’t this proven to be a hoax?
Clear now?
********
Unsold. Besides, the United States State Department is confirming it now. That makes it a lock that it is bogus.
Sad. But true. Russia is rebuilding the USSR.
*********
What are the “Western” Ukrainians rebuilding?

The ‘dirty Jewess’ commentator is a member of Kiev... ‘government’, to abuse that already unimpressive term.
..................
Ukraine already registers gunowners and restricts ownership. I’m sure Kerry would love registration of components of society, Obama certainly would. Tea Partiers should be registered, but the gun thing makes it inconvenient.
Horse faced doofus is probably behind it. It was not all that long ago he blamed Israel for his failed peace initiative.
I bet Obama made Jeremiah right proud. LOL
I partly blame the German citizens for the WWII atrocities.
