About 20 members of the State Duma have approached the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to “ban all Jewish organizations” because, the MPs claim, they are “extremist”. The group published an open letter to the Prosecutor General in Rus Pravoslavnaya newspaper.
The MPs (representing the Communist faction, the nationalist Motherland party, and the radical Liberal Democrats) and about 500 other people, mostly journalists and editors of nationalist newspapers, called the Jewish religion “anti-Christian and inhumane, which practices extend even to ritual murders”.
“Many facts of such religious extremism were proven in courts,” the letter read.
The authors wrote that many anti-Semitic acts in Russia had been caused by the “anti-Christian” behavior of Jews or even committed by Jews themselves as grounds to “take punitive measures against patriots”.
The group blames the Jews (and not only religious Jews) of xenophobia and also of “illegal appropriation of state property” and entering the government after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Jewish influence on the country’s life has damaged the interests of all other Russia’s nations including Russian people, the letter claimed.
The authors stated that it was the Jews who were against teaching Orthodox culture in Russian schools and supported the abolition of the practice of identifying nationality in passports.
They also wrote that “the whole democratic world today is under the financial and political control of international Jewry. And we do not want our Russia to be among such unfree countries”.
What was that, Vymp? Russia is merely a dysfunctional democracy?

I'm sorry, is being anti-christian an offense now?

Sounds like Stalinists and other "AAAH MOTHERLAND!" types read some Saudi propaganda and conspiracy theories and were too dumb, too crazy, or too racist (actually, maybe all three) to realize how stupid they sound, and don't care if they do know.

This makes you laugh. This makes me happy I got out of there with my family. I am half Jewish, you know, so I have no desire to see whether Russia goes the way of Nazi Germany.
Well, this scares the shit out of me. Now we have a big nuclear-armed power with tendencies toward nazism. Whoopee.

The Liberal Democrats again, eh? Funny name for that party, considering their ideology.
BTW, isn't that Vladimir Zhirnovsky's party? whatever happened to him, anyway? The last I heard of him were his rants against NATO and the West during the '99 Kosovo bombing campaign...

Saudi propaganda? That was based on the Protocols, which were (surprise!) created by the tsarist secret police. Antisemitism has not come back to Russia, it has never left it.

Oh, he's still alive and well, and in the Duma. Nobody takes him seriously, though.

Have the Duma been using their Echelonski system to listen in on my UPF ideas?

Holding up dozens of anti-Semitic signs, hundreds of people rallied in central Moscow’s Tverskaya Street on Saturday to protest the arrest warrant out for nationalist leader Boris Mironov, wanted on charges of inciting interracial hatred.
The party that apparently organized the rally — the National Power Party of Russia — was banned by the Justice Ministry for inciting interracial hatred. On one poster held up at the rally, it identified itself as the party of “those who are ready to fight the Jewish yoke.”
While reporters from the independent Ekho Moskvy radio station found only 200 demonstrators Saturday afternoon, and no anti-Semitic signs of any kind, a MosNews correspondent estimated there were as many as 800 people gathered in Pushkin Square.
Their signs featured various accusations against the Jewish people, quoting historical figures such as Napoleon and Henry Ford.
“Jews! Disgusting types. Get your stinking paws away from Boris Mironov!” one sign read.
Another sign read that Jews were the “plague of society and its greatest foes.”
According to a new law passed earlier this year, all rallies must be registered with the Moscow prefecture. Yelena Polyakova, an official from the prefecture of Moscow’s central district, where organizers obtained permission for the rally, told MosNews that a public initiative group registered for the rally, calling itself the Slavic Journalists’ Union and wishing to hold a rally “in support of Russian Patriots.”
Polyakova said that since the National Power Party of Russia is banned, it cannot organize rallies itself. This must have been done for the party by the Slavic Journalists’ Union.
“Prosecutors were present at the rally, and they probably took note of the [anti-Semitic signs and] the presence of the party,” Polyakova told MosNews.

You now need permission to stage a rally in Russia?!?

of course. You can't have that pesky thing called "freedom of assmebly" can you? That would allow the anti-Putin protestors to have a voice.

So 20 fuckwits in the Duma reveal prejudice against Jews, that proves what about Russia's democracy, besides that yes, it is definitely dysfunctional? If the Prosecutor General actually says yes, I'd be worried.
I thought we were beyond the whole "Jews drink the blood of babies" bit? Is this Arab solidarity day or something?
