In Ukraine capital unknown men have beaten up the leader of a local Jewish movement. Just months ago the rabbi was seen addressing the crowds in Maidan. But some Ukrainians seem to have ignored these calls for national unity. As more and more nazi graffiti appears on the walls in Ukrainian cities and ultra-nationalists are given key government posts, Kiev's Jewish community feels they can no longer entrust their safety to the police.
A group of Israel MPs has written an open letter to the President of the European Commission. They expressed their concern over the plight of Ukrainian Jews who they say are suffering from constant attacks. It's claimed this is a direct result of the rise of nationalists in Kiev. Activists from Ukraine's Jewish community have also traveled to Israel to seek support.

Everyone knows that RT's only mission in life is to spread Putin's lies and propaganda. Many Jewish leaders have publicly stated that they believe that many of these acts are provocations. Of course, no place on earth is without anti-Semitism, the Jews of Russia are the ones in real danger!
