Hundreds of people stormed into the main airport in Russia’s Dagestan region and onto the landing field Sunday, chanting antisemitic slogans and seeking passengers arriving on a flight from Tel Aviv, Israel, Russian news agencies and social media reported.

Russian news reports said the crowd surrounded the airliner, which belonged to Russian carrier Red Wings.

Authorities closed the airport in Makhachkala, the capital of the predominantly Muslim region, and police converged on the facility. Dagestan’s Ministry of Health said more than 20 people were injured, with two in critical condition. It said the injured included police officers and civilians.

Jew-hate is alive and well in the country purporting to be stamping out neo-nazis in Ukraine. The irony needs no seasoning.

[-] trebuchet@lemmy.ml 38 points 1 year ago

It doesn't seem like neo-Nazism in this case but rather the long standing hate by Muslims if it makes any difference. From the news coverage I've seen of this, it seems like it was a mob of Muslims waving Palestinian flags.

“We are the victims!” while they threaten and attack everyone that doesn’t agree

Also, pretending that they care about Arabs, who we know they hate as much or worse than Jews.

As far as I understand; nazi, in russian, translates to "western European russophobic". I suspect many Russians are scarcely aware that Nazi Germany did something to Jews.

Nazi more or less translates to "anyone who is against us, like the Germans".

Dagestani under Kadyrov are their own kind. I've seen some public signs of support to Hamas. I have no doubts it's orchestrated by local administration.

Yes, it was very late and I confused Chechen and Dagestani republics. I'd take salt on my head. My username seems fitting here.
