Jews Arm
After Putin’s charges of Nazism among the Ukrainians and the assassination attempt on a Jewish mayor of a town under control of the Russian loyalists, the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine has been reported to ask that a Jewish defense force be formed comprising of men with backgrounds in the military and martial arts skills. The eight members are Israeli or Ukrainian former military with advanced martial arts skills.
Tzvi Arieli, the group’s founder, said anti-Semitic attacks used to be rare in Ukraine, however, four Orthodox Jews in the area have been the targets of physical attacks and there were two efforts to burn down synagogues.
The costumes and the baseball bats as arms make this a bizarre addition to the tragedy of Ukraine .. another area of Europe that may soon be Judenrein.
