“Appalling videos” emerging from Russia show a large mob storming the Dagestan airport Sunday, as moslem men chant “Allah Akbar” while hunting for Jews believed to be on a flight from Tel Aviv, Israel.
State-run media reports indicate the airport in Makhachkala, the capital of the majority-moslem southeastern region of Russia, was closed due the situation and riot police were deployed.
This from wndnewscenter.org.
The hunt for Jews at the airport in Dagestan continues, to the soundtrack of “Allahu Akbar” screams. They even look into the plane’s engines, maybe someone is hiding there.

Israel National News reported:
The flight, which took off from Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel and was scheduled to land in Makhachkala, was rerouted and landed at a different airport.
Just the News reported:
Video posted online shows the demonstrators carrying Palestinian flags and clashing with police late Sunday evening.
One video shows the mob, numbering in the hundreds according to reports, circling around a man they suspect of being a Jew, as he claims to be Uzbek. The mob does not believe him and instead takes his passport and phone to check.

The mob reportedly stopped a bus full of children at the airport and demanded to see everyone’s passports to ensure that they are not Israeli, video shows.
Members of the crowd can be heard yelling, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ Arabic for ‘God is the Greatest,’ as they frantically search the airport for Jews and Israelis.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to the riot in his rival state in a post on X:
Appalling videos from Makhachkala, Russia, where an angry mob broke into the airport searching for Israeli citizens on the flight from Tel-Aviv. This is not an isolated incident in Makhachkala but rather part of Russia’s widespread culture of hatred toward other nations, which is propagated by state television, pundits, and authorities.
The Russian foreign minister has made a series of antisemitic remarks in the last year. The Russian President also used antisemitic slurs. For Russian propaganda talking heads on official television, hate rhetoric is routine. Even the most recent Middle East escalation prompted antisemitic statements from Russian ideologists. Russian antisemitism and hatred toward other nations are systemic and deeply rooted.
Hatred is what drives aggression and terror. We must all work together to oppose hatred.

The riot is taking place three weeks since moslem terrorists belonging to Hamas launched a surprise attack against Israel on Oct. 7, the Last Great Day of the Feast o Tabernacles, a holy day mentioned in the Bible.
At least 1,400 Israelis have been killed since Hamas initiated their most recent attack.

Final thoughts: This is far from America, but how much imagination must one have to envision this scene unfolding in Minneapolis, Minnesota, or Dearborn, Michigan, or any other moslem enclave in our once-great beloved country?
