Sixty people were arrested, 150 identified. The Israeli authorities are organizing their departure to Moscow as soon as the airport can reopen. Zelensky: Not an isolated incident, but part of the widespread Russian culture of hatred towards other nations
Dagestan, autonomous republic of the Russian Federation with a Muslim majority. This is where the anti-Semitic fuse much invoked by Hamas lights up on Sunday evening.
The Time.news of the hunt for the Jew in the videos promptly released online by the protagonists themselves. In dozens of videos we see anti-Israeli fanatics who learned of a plane arriving from Tel Aviv at the airport of Makhatchakala, the capital. And who en masse decided to rush there to attack the passengers of that flight. They won’t succeed in the end.
The Russian National Guard and law enforcement agencies — who were initially caught unprepared and overwhelmed by the crowd — manage to restore order: the leadership of the Russian Interior Ministry for the Caucasus Federal District reports 60 arrests and more than 150 identified.
The Israelis and Jews are safe inside the airport, the news leaked late at night. The Israeli authorities are organizing their departure to Moscow as soon as the airport can reopen. Meanwhile, Tel Aviv is asking Russia to protect all Israelis and Jews on the territory of the Federation and to punish the threats they face.
Israeli Ambassador to Russia Alex Ben Zvi is working with Russian authorities to ensure the safety of Israelis and Jews. Revolt tamed, then. But the concern about what happened remains. And those images remain. Enraged people shouting Allahu Akbar and brandishing sticks in the direction of the plane. A little boy who asked: what did you come here to do? he responds by killing Jews with a knife.
A police car attacked because it was thought to be transporting Israelis to safety. A terrified man who is surrounded by the crowd and who, in order to escape alive, keeps repeating I am Uzbek, I am Uzbek. Groups of men in blind rage who break down the entrances to the airport, who enter the offices, who arrive on the runway running in search of the enemy.
A page of anti-Semitism written in a moment of great tension between Moscow and Israel. In recent days a Hamas delegation had gone to Moscow for talks and just yesterday the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem had summoned the Russian ambassador to Israel, Anatoly Viktorov, to protest and to tell him that it considers it serious that Moscow does not express a clear condemnation of the terrorist organization Hamas.
White House National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson says the United States unequivocally supports the entire Jewish community as we witness a global surge in anti-Semitism. And the Moscow-Kiev clash also fits into this whole scenario.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky speaks of frightening videos and stresses that it is not an isolated incident, but is part of the widespread Russian culture of hatred towards other nations. Over the past year, the Russian Foreign Minister has made a series of anti-Semitic statements, and the Russian president has also made anti-Semitic insults.
This is the Russian response entrusted to the Ria Novosti agency: according to the head of the republic of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, the disturbances at the airport were managed by Ukraine. Melikov also suggested that those detained following the riot at Makhachkala airport go to the special operations area (in Ukraine, to fight) to wash away the shame.
