The group, which calls itself the “Orthodox public organization of Odessa,” distributed anti-Semitic pamphlets last week at some Russian Orthodox churches in Odessa calling for pogroms and the murder Jews and expressing regret at the collapse of the Russian Empire.
Berl Kapulkin, a spokesperson for Odessa’s Jewish community, told JTA that, according to preliminary information, the pamphlets were distributed by representatives of United Fatherland and the Union of Orthodox Citizens of Ukraine, both pro-Russian groups.
Rabbi Avraham Wolf, chief rabbi of Odessa and Southern Ukraine, called on Ukraine’s authorities to end the incitement in the Orthodox churches against Jews. Wolf said he hopes Ukrainian President Victor Yuschenko will keep his promise to combat interethnic hatred in the country.[jta]
PLEASE DONT EVER FORGET THAT WE ARE STILL IN GALUS!!! The beards, payos, garb and all the rest that comes along with it is just a show. It’s gonna hit us where it hurts most by surprise one day. Hate to be realistic, but BE PREPARED.
Anyone who has studied any European history should understand that this should not be headline news.
What should have been headline news was that for a few years the church DIDN’T call for our murder.
Christian persecution in Europe wasn’t eradicated … it was just resting.
