Russia orders Jewish Agency to stop all operations in country - exclusive

By ZVIKA KLEIN

Published: JULY 5, 2022

An order forcing the Jewish Agency to stop work in Russia is dramatic and could directly undermine the ability of Russian Jews to make aliyah and immigrate to Israel.

Yes, but to be clear, they were not conducted by Russians, but by pro-Hitler pro-Nazi Ukrainians, like these guys.

I AGREEthat under Nazi control atrocities occured in Ukraine.

However, these inportant facts regarding Ukraine must NOT be forgotten. Immediately following the overthrow of the czar in February 1917, Ukraine set up a provisional government and proclaimed itself a republic within the structure of a federated Russia. After Vladimir Lenin and his radical Bolsheviks rose to power in November, Ukraine—like Finland—took further step, declaring its complete independence from Russia in January 1918.

In Ukraine, some of the most important Jewish religious and cultural movements, from Hasidism to Zionism, began in the territory of modern Ukraine. According to the World Jewish Congress, the Jewish community in Ukraine constitutes the third-largest in Europe and the fifth-largest in the world.

In the Ukrainian People’s Republic (1917-1920), was declared a state language, along with Ukrainian and Russian. At that time, the Jewish National Union was created and the community was granted an autonomous status.

YIDDISH was declared a state language, along with Ukrainian and Russian. Yiddish was used on Ukrainian currency in this same period, between 1917 and 1920. Before World War II, slightly less than one-third of Ukraine’s urban population consisted of Jews; they were the largest national minority in Ukraine.

In 1941, by the end of November, VIRTUALLY ALL OF UKRAINE UNDER NAZI CONTROL! the Nazis sought to implement their “racial” policies. Mass killings of Jews began in the fall of 1941 the that continued through 1944.

Ukraine rates the 4th in the number of people recognized as “Righteous Among the Nations” for saving Jews during the Holocaust.

Yes, but to be clear

All of the Russian "separatist" leaders, most with ties to the FSB, are Neo-Nazis or out and out Fascists and Monarchists with strong sympathies for Adolf Hitler. They've even posed for photographs, just before invading, posing with Swastika armbands. In comparison, the so-called Neo-Nazis in Ukraine hardly number above a thousand, and Azov has become so liberalized now that there are Jewish and minority volunteers fighting beside them.

Russia's media is also routinely anti-Semitic. Hence why Ukraine's Jews are overwhelmingly anti-Moscow.

These truths have been explained hundreds of times on this forum, yet you still insist on spreading these misleading posts.

Yeah, keep apologizing for your Azov Nazi buddies.

"They are just the good Nazis, honest. And there are only a few of them."

And I have a bridge to sell you, cheap.

I could post these all day, but you know the truth, so what's the point.

Alexander Barkashov: the creator and leader of “All-Russian civic patriotic movement Russian National Unity” (RNU). Russian nationalists – extremists and neo-Nazis – fighting in the Eastern Ukraine on the side of the separatists and against the Ukrainian army. These fighters in Donbas are activists supported by the Russian government and criminals wanted by Russian police. Some of them are just ordinary young hoodlums, some are well known politicians.

“As Vladimir Putin’s war rages on for the fifth month in Ukraine and repression suffocates civil liberties back home, Russian Jews are worried they’ll SOON become the Kremlin’s targets.”

“Soon”, so nothing’s happened. All I need to read (and yes, I’m aware of the history from the czars to the Soviets).

I’m more concerned with the actual persecution and slaughter of Christians throughout much of east and Africa.

Russian nazi emblem [Note: swastika embedded] The RNU was founded in October 1990. RNU was estimated to have 100,000 active members all over Russia. Members wear black and camouflage uniforms; the group adopted a red and white modified swastika emblem, openly expressed admiration for German national socialism and publicly celebrated the rise of the Nazis.
