Derbent Synagogue engulfed in flames after deadly terrorist attack
Times of Israel ^ | 6/23/24 | Canaan Lidor

Posted on 06/23/2024 12:24:59 PM PDT by Uncle Miltie

The only synagogue in the city of Derbent in Russia is on fire following a deadly and coordinated terrorist attack that also included several other targets in the restive state of Dagestan.

“The synagogue is on fire,” the official news service of the State of Dagestan said in an update about Sunday’s attack, which authorities say is the work of jihadist extremists. Two people, both security officers, are dead as a result of the attack in Derbent, Interfax reports.

Footage of the burning synagogue published on Carmel News, a Telegram channel, shows tall flames completely engulfing the redbrick building of the synagogue and Jewish community center of Derbent, which was built in 2010.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry is not aware of any casualties from the local Jewish community of several hundred people, a spokesperson says in a statement, adding that the synagogue had been “burnt to the ground.”

It wasn’t only synagogue. Orthodox churches were targets. Reports of bearded men in black shouting that muzzle thing.

Any body can grow a beard, and yell aloha snackbar. It will be interesting to know if these guys are actually islamists, or some trained CIA group. You can never trust the CIA. They stick their noses into everything. Zelensky closed all the Orthodox churches affiliated with Russia. Putin has said that the Israeli/Hamas conflict could spread beyond the Middle East. Is some entity trying to help do just that?

I hate it too. It automatically turns muzzie to muzzle on me too.

Don’t blame “spell-check”.
Your problem is “auto-correct”.
They are two different things.
Do you need help to figure out how to turn them off?

Sure, the Americans did it, at least you are consistent.

The fact that you won't even consider the CIA being behind anything untoward shows you are consistently gullible.

Nope. Since I know it automatically does it with the word muzzie, I make sure it's correct before I post a comment using it.

The safe bet, the smart money, whatever one wishes to call it, would probably be that the CIA ginned it up from indigenous assholes in the region.

Prove me wrong. :)

LOL, read your post again and notice that giant exaggeration you did in an effort to make a fake insult.

You on the other hand really do pretty much always blame the Americans for everything as a first kneejerk, even terrorist attacks in Russia.

How long have you lived in this country, and you've never heard of the CIA being involved in coups like in Vietnam, assassinating Presidents, blowing up pipelines, using paid assets to do their dirty work? You do know that the CIA hired known Nazi war criminals after WWII, and used them for intelligence purposes...people like Klaus Barbie, and Nazi Intelligence Officer Reinhard Gehlen who they allowed to set up his own organization which they had no control over. Gehlen was allowed to function in anonymity, hiring other known war criminals, and using tax payer dollars to run his show. Some of the SS, SD and former German police he hired were helping other Nazi war criminals to escape from Germany. One of them was Dr. Josef Mengele.

Some members of Gehlen's group, unknown to him, were spying for Russia, while others moved to Syria and Egypt, and conducted gun trafficking to equip those countries with weapons to use against Israel. The CIA was extremely embarrassed by all of this, and dropped Gehlen and his group like a hot potato. Gehlen eventually wormed his way into becoming President of the BND under Konrad Adenauer, Chancellor of West Germany. Gehlen eventually fell out with Adenauer because his lack of leadership allowed a KGB agent to infiltrate the BND.

Today's CIA is likely as corrupt and incompetent as it was in the 50's and 60's. Even more so, because they don't have to report to anyone, and are held accountable for nothing.

There's a strong possibility of that based on the way the CIA has operated since it came into being after WWII.

Your first instinct is to blame America for everything, that is pure unthinking blindness and you can’t keep up with events in the world and actually learn, when you have such a simple knee jerk mindset.

Better to be open-minded when it comes to the possibility that the US government may be corrupt and causing problems around the world, than being gullible, and believing everything the main stream media tells them. You have no concept of what your government is capable of doing. Even worse, you are willfully ignorant to it.

LOL, I am open minded, it is what I am trying to tell you to be.
Every time you hear of something horrible don’t automatically start telling everyone it is the Americans, especially terror attacks on Jews around the world.
