EU Anti-Semitism Seen Threat To Russian Jews
Leader of Russian Jewish Congress urges government to spurn Europe
Walter Ruby - Special To The Jewish Week
In what Russia watchers are citing as a first, one of the leaders of Russian Jewry has launched a diatribe against the European Union, claiming it is now a prime source of anti-Semitism threatening Jews in Russia today.
Yevgeny Satanovsky, president of the Russian Jewish Congress, told The Jewish Week in an interview last week that the best hope of Russian Jewry — and of Russia itself — is to spurn Europe and to strengthen ties with the United States and Israel.
“We have a new phenomenon these days — anti-Semitism exported to Russia from Western Europe with the help of money from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf,” Satanovsky said. “Anti-Semitism is practically the official practice of the European Parliament, and is manifested in an ongoing anti-Zionist campaign and a so-called pluralistic view of Palestinians and Israelis.”
