They will take part in a special welcoming ceremony sponsored by the Jewish agency on Monday, alongside 650 new immigrants.
Up to 2,000 people may have died in the ethnic clashes that have rocked the country’s south. Tens of thousands of ethnic Uzbeks have fled for their lives to squalid refugee camps during rampages led mainly by ethnic Kyrgyz.
I didn’t know there were still jews there? Didn’t they all move to queens?
How about welcoming the Emmanual parents who are already citizens of Israel? first take care of what we already have in the proper manor then look for more Korbonos.
B’H the Jews were rescued, but aside from the fact that “Kyrgyzstan is rich in mineral resources but has negligible petroleum and natural gas reserves; it imports petroleum and gas. Among its mineral reserves are substantial deposits of coal, gold, uranium, antimony, and other valuable metals.”… it sounds like hell.
