They decided to all back down earlier today, then this.

There's been anti semitism across Europe for centuries, I don't think it was the Nazi's who started it off. Also the Muslims have had problems, and the gypsies. It's just depressing to think it's 2014 and things still haven't changed.

chocolatesaltyballs · 17/04/2014 19:57

I'm not entirely sure I believe this is true. I sincerely hope it's just propaganda.

Northernlurker · 17/04/2014 20:00

Ladymary - this much has changed. We know it when we see it and people stand against it.

LadyMaryLikesCake · 17/04/2014 20:01

Smile Thumbs up to that, Northernlurker.

It has been confirmed as leaflets handed out by the interim pro-Russia government here

NurseyWursey · 17/04/2014 20:03

Horrible.

And it's Jewish people, not Jews - apparently!

BackOnlyBriefly · 17/04/2014 20:04

We should be protecting the Ukraine from Russia anyway.

If it had been a hoax that the Jewish people were in danger would everyone have said "phew that's ok then"

[Shock],this is bad. I've been starting to wonder if Putin is the subject of Nostradamus' last prophecy.

Don't believe it until it has been confirmed.

Maybe I shouldn't rely on the BBC, but I certainly do not rely on something called ynetnews. I've never heard of them.

Shakey1500 · 17/04/2014 20:13

Fucking hell Sad

Dawndonnaagain · 17/04/2014 20:17

other sources
Still not seen anything in the British Press though.

youthecat

This is not confirmation at all! It is just a reiteration of the original article by something called ynetnews

Wait until a reliable source has confirmed this.

Mitzi50 · 17/04/2014 20:22

This is awful if it is true. As Dawndonnaagain says I can't find anything yet in the British Press.

MoominsAreScary · 17/04/2014 20:23

Lets hope its not true

BigChocFrenzy · 17/04/2014 20:27

Seems more than just rumour mill.

Nursey

Jews is fine, they call themselves that so not an offensive term (acording to our friends who are Jewish)

Jerboa · 17/04/2014 20:31

I haven't seen any Brit newspapers, but on Jerusalem Post, it seems to be saying that the letters were handed out but the leader of the separatist movement is saying he/his group weren't responsible. Even if this wasn't true, anti semitism is a big problem in Ukraine and Russia.

BigChocFrenzy · 17/04/2014 20:32

I hope it's just some nutty local politician taking advantage of the chaos. Kerry tends to panic easily

mrspremise · 17/04/2014 20:33

Fuck. That is all.

m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-27072351

Its on the bbc website.

partialderivative · 17/04/2014 20:36

BigChocFrenzy Stop it!!

Read the article! Nothing has been confirmed and all is just rumour mill.

I read your link, and I find this final sentence informative; "CNN could not immediately confirm the reports."

SecretWitch · 17/04/2014 20:37

I am a Jew. I am the mother of a Jewish child. First the murder's in Kansas and now this. Sometimes, I feel very afraid.

partialderivative · 17/04/2014 20:38

So many people here behaving in the hysterical ways that the DM would love.
