Folks, Russia confirms it’s own placement on the list of country-nations-regions who have extreme bias and prejudice against Judaism:Russia’s state prosecutor has ordered an examination of Shulhan Arukh – a code of Jewish halakhic law compiled in the 16th century – to ascertain whether it constitutes racist incitement and anti-Russian material.Jerusalem sources following the affair said this is the first time since Stalin’s regime that Russian officials have described holy Jewish scriptures as prohibited incitement. The affair has been covered widely by the Russian news media, eliciting sharp reactions from Jewish organizations in Russia.
The state prosecutor’s last move has increased Israel’s concern for the Jews in Russia, following the recent increase in anti-Semitic incidents there. These incidents include attacks on Jews and damage to Jewish property.
