World Zionist Organization (WZO) Vice Chairman Yaakov Hagoel responded to the arson fire set at Moscow’s Torat Chaim yeshiva during a Passover Seder on Friday. According to the Interfax news agency, the fire was set in a storage area for kosher meat and swastikas were drawn at the yeshiva’s entrance.
“The anti-Semitic arsonists do not want to allow Diaspora Jews true freedom,” Hagoel said. “This serious incident at the Torat Chaim yeshiva in Russia’s capital is another red light in the righteous fight in the war against anti-Semitism and terror in Europe.”
“I call on Russia’s President Putin, a true friend of the State of Israel, to help and protect the Jews in his country, so that they are able, specifically, to proudly fulfill the holiday’s commandments, and in general are able to fulfill the other commandments without fear.

“I support the Jewish community in Moscow and hope they will be able to continue their work faithfully, without fearing such instances. I wish them a happy and kosher Passover holiday.”

MOSCOW, Russia — Jewish officials said Friday an arson fire was set at the largest yeshiva in Russia just ahead of the Passover meal celebration. Swastikas were also sprayed on the seminary.
No one was reported injured in the early Friday fire at the Torat Chaim school in an eastern Moscow suburb.
Olga Esaulova, a spokeswoman for Moscow’s chief rabbi, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying the fire was set in a storage area for kosher meat and that swastikas were drawn at the yeshiva’s entrance.
There were about 60 students, rabbis and guests in the building at the time, the state news agency RIA-Novosti reported.

While Russia has a long history of anti-Semitism, it has noticeably declined under Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Putin has made considerable efforts to reach out to Russian Jewish communities, both within his state’s borders and in Israel. His country’s chief rabbi, Berel Lazar, is a close confidante.
He has encouraged the restoration of dozens of synagogues destroyed under communism and taken a hard-line on anti-Semitism.

It’s not Islam Pam’s about. It’s misanthropy. In any
of its (today) forms. Call it what ever you will. She
understood the principle, the eternal same method.
Let’s try to analyze your answer: You accuse Pam of
being “so fixated on Islam that she forfeited the right to
address all other anti-Semitic threats”. If you don’t no-
tice your own stupidity, you can’t be helped anymore.
I even agree partly. Today’s most hostility to-
wards Jews comes from so-called “liberals”
and from so-called “Jews” themselves. They
lure anti-Jewish Muslims into our countries.
And Putin has been foolishly going soft on jihadis. Its Just a matter of time churches become target like in EU.
And Macron threatens Hungary , poland for not selling out their countries to islamonazis like he and his party has been doing in france https://tinyurl.com/y6vlqtwq
Whats wrong? Simple, they are inbreeds produced by parents who are inbreeds of inbreeds and so on. No wonder that they have a very low I/Q and an animal instinct. They cannot be helped, they should be eliminated.
I am constantly fascinated by people who will have a verbal rant —with which I have no problem at all!!!. I too, rant and rave over the deprived AND depraved minds of these muslim fanatics. But constantly refering to them as animals or animal behavior also shows the inepttitude of the commentator. Inbreeding?? Yes I agree whole heartedly!! C’mon folks .Animals don’t behead for sport, or drown for fun, and then put it down to honouring their religion. These fanatics do it because of indoctrination, fear, and crowd bravado. Put one of these miscreants in a wresling match or boxing match. or even a knife fight—all on a ‘one on one’ confrontation, and you will see see the yellow juices of cowardice flow across the floor But, Hans! I do fit in with your thinking.
Yes, we are supposed to keep pretending that there is no obvious pattern to the hatred of the infidels – especially Jews and Christians. Muslims are in conquering mode while the average person is oblivious and the multi national corporations and banks are salivating with dreams of cheap labor having the corrupt politicians do their bidding. Wait till they discover Muslims have no intention of being subservient to the infidel. Muslims have a different vision.
European Churches: Vandalized, Defecated On, and Torched “Every Day”

…
In France, two churches are desecrated every day on average. According to PI-News, a German news site, 1,063 attacks on Christian churches or symbols (crucifixes, icons, statues) were registered in France in 2018. This represents a 17% increase compared to the previous year (2017), when 878 attacks were registered — meaning that such attacks are only going from bad to worse.

There are so many poor Jews in the world, so why
should she give me a precious sum ? It wouldn’t be
bad of her, but my dignity forbids me from asking her.
It’s becoming hard to ignore…
I still want justice – Hillary. Obama etc……but as we become more lawless, that may not happen.
Mark 13:8
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. (birth pangs)
2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;…
2Timothy.4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Here’s the problem, wanting Hillary and Obama to go to prison won’t make it happen. I doubt Trump will ever go to prison either. The wealthy Washington elite are above the law.
Right wing ideology and hate activity is on the rise in Russia and throughout Europe, as well as in Canada and the US. Should people be concerned about that?
Putin is planning to use muslims to capture Ukraine, and muslims want to destroy Israel; so Putin is to blame? I suggest that Israel have some serious talks with Ukraine.

Does Putin love Muslims or hate them?
By Aleksei Kochubei
Updated Apr 28, 2018 ·
Ok, let´s see by his actions. Putin and his gov granted visa-free entry for millions of Muslims from Central Asia. Only legally there are more than 10 millions Muslims from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan plus I guess 2–3 millions illegally.
Russian media often complain about migrant crimes in Europe, but rapes and murders committed by Muslim migrants in Russia even higher, some of them not registered because police is corrupted.
Saint Petersburg during Putin´s presidency became the biggest Islamic hub in Northern Europe, also first time in the history of this european city, that was built on the Finnish soil (Inkerimaa) as a European capital of Russian Empire, Islamists (or FSB and Islamists) organised terrorist attack (2017)
Putin opened the biggest mosque in Russia, in Moscow, in 2015.
…
Putin´s handler, billionaire Usmanov, is a muslim. also Usmanov catered Alina Kabaeva (olympic gymnast/ wife of Usmanov, Irina Viner, is the head coach of Alina Kabaeva) to Putin. Now Putin and Kabaeva have 3 children together Kabaeva is a Muslim, she is tatar, her name is Älinä Marat qızı Qabayıva.
Very interesting. I didn’t know that Putin had such close ties to Muslims and even having children with a Muslim woman. Yeah….there had to be a reason why Putin has been helping the Muslims open mosques all over Russia, including a HUGE mosque in Moscow in 2015. And yet Putin has given speeches about defending Russian Christianity LOL Putin seems like a typical crooked politician. SMH
One of Europe’s biggest mosques opens in Moscow
SEPT 23 2015 TASS
The mosque will be able to accommodate up to 10,000 people simultaneously.
… Islam is the second largest religion in Russia, which has more than 7,000 mosques. Muslims constitute a majority in Russia’s regions of Adygea, Tatarstan, Bashkiria, Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia.
…
The decision to step up the construction of mosques in Moscow comes amid a significant growth of the Muslim population. Russia is home to a total of 23 million Muslims representing 38 peoples, according to the Council of Muftis. In Moscow, Muslims account for at least 2 million or one in six citizens is Muslim. https://www.rbth.com/society/2015/09/23/one-of-europes-biggest-mosques-opens-in-moscow_427127

In general, it is not clear who did it, the date was chosen not by chance – Hitler’s birthday. But no one believes the official sources in Russia; they ONLY broadcast lies. Very dark story .. It is likely to further strengthen the repression against the Russian.

For once I’m not blaming the muslims for this one. I’ve been to Russia and my fellow Christians hate the jews even more than the muzzies. Remember they lost 77 million people during the Russian revolution to the Bolsheviks (Jews)!
Then they really aren’t true Christians are they? They are CINOs (Christian in name only). I knew some of those kinds of people, some Catholics, Islamists, Methodists and in other ‘religions’, and those who GO ALONG TO GET ALONG or blame Jews for the death of Jesus. What they don’t understand is that IT WAS MEANT TO BE THAT JESUS DIED so we could all have the opportunity to accept the Savior AS OUR REDEEMER and go to Heaven at death.
Setting fires on innocent peoples’ place of worship IS SIN, so they are CINOs.
Setting fires because you don’t agree with a doctrine, religion, or ideology, IS A SIN.
DUMB will always be dumb UNTIL they actually see and know the truth. THAT will set them free. THEY NEED LOTS OF PRAYER and believe me, I have seen it when you pray for people and how they change. THE HOLY SPIRIT GETS A HOLD OF THEM and their eyes are opened. Prayer does work wonders.
