Hundreds of anti-Semitic pamphlets distributed in Novosibirsk, Russia, warning residents of supposed Jewish practice of kidnapping children to use their blood for Passover matza
Hundred of anti-Semitic announcements warning Russian parents to beware of the supposed Jewish practice of using children's blood to prepare Passover matza were put up around the city of Novosibirsk, Russia in southwest Siberia on Wednesday.
"Beware Russian parents. Keep watch over your children before the coming of April 2008, the Jewish holiday of Passover. These disgusting people still engage in ritual practice to their gods. They kidnap small children and remove some of their blood and use it to prepare their holy food (matza). They throw the bodies (of the children) out in garbage dumps," the announcements read.
"Esther", a resident of Novosibirsk, told Ynet: "I saw the announcement, however I won't be afraid of going to synagogue during Passover. In my house, we will have matzot.
"Anti-Semitism exists in the city and it never disappears. You can walk around in the streets and see derogatory sayings scrawled on the walls of houses; 'Jews go home' and such. The announcement simply disgusted me.
"These anti-Semites merely want to divert the attention of the city's residents away from the problems that exist in the area and blame the Jews for everything. I personally am not afraid because my children are in Israel."
Approximately 13,000 Jews live in the Novosibirsk area, with most living in the city itself.
Since the beginning of this year, Russia has experienced dozens of anti-Semitic acts including violent attacks on Jews, derogatory graffiti and the vandalism of Jewish cemeteries.
Anti-Semitism on rise Recently, the US government published its yearly report that stated that anti-Semitism, which promotes hatred towards Jews under the guise of criticism against the State of Israel, has increased in the last 10 years.
The report claimed that the Belarus government openly disseminates anti-Semitic material. It also said that government-controlled media outlets in Saudi Arabia and Egypt broadcast anti-Semitic programs.
Additional acts of anti-Semitism were recorded in Poland, Russia, Ukraine, France, Germany, the UK, Argentina, Australia, Canada and South Africa.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
We have a girl in our office from the old USSR...it is amazing some of the things she says about Jews....actually, about everyone but commies.
Cue Borat’s ‘Running of the Jew’ , so sad/funny.
Just a taste of what the internet would have been like in the 12th century.
Now back to Obama's minister and the evils of my ancestors. Who wore blue.
That and the little detail about eating blood being forbidden under all circumstances.
Surely the Russians are capable of better propaganda than this!
The only thing more pathetic than this kind of ridiculous belief would be the mental defectives who believe it.
You are stupid. Hamantashen must be made from Moslem blood.
I didn't know there were rural Southern American Fundamentalist Protestants in Siberia. Certainly anti-Semitism couldn't possibly come from any other source, could it?
Maybe Mr. Foxman and his good friend the Patriarch of Constantinople will issue a joint condemnation of John Hagee for his anti-Catholicism in response.
“We have a girl in our office from the old USSR...it is amazing some of the things she says about Jews....actually, about everyone but commies.”
Sounds like she deserves to live under commies.
Once again, the Russians screw themselves. To HELL with them.

Blood, still wouldn't. Makes a great story though, residuals go on for a millenia.
No, a Russian/Czarist thing. Evidently being circulated again.
Satan is alive and busy.
The Jews of the area should mount a counter-propaganda campaign. Probably the most effective thing would be to portray the anti-Semites as hating Putin and as disloyal to Russia.
Just think, Dan Rather could really run with this.
Czarist secret police thing.
