Maybe we can learn from them and get rid of some of our rabbis from the lunatic fringe, who are constantly calling for people with whom they don't agree to be killed.
8. expulsion of rabbis
david ,   new york ny   (04.04.09)
scary evidence of how rapidly Russia is regressing .. reminds one of the Jews under the Tsars, endlessly pleading to "higher authorities" in the fact of anti semitic abuse

Avi ,   Rannana   (04.05.09)
Start with "Rav" Ovadia Yosef the cult leader himself...
16. to #5 Sure I was born Jewish, that is why
jason white ,   afula,israel   (04.05.09)
I do not live in the land that gave us hitler, eichmann and a lot of other nazis. If I am an anti semite,then why do I live in Israel? Why did I serve for 22 years in a combat unit in the I.D.F.? How about you? You sniveling little coward.
17. This is not about Anti-Semitism...
Vadim ,   Estonia   (04.05.09)
The rabbis are obviously being deported under the same set of instructions that are intended to keep, for example, Saudi preachers from indoctrinating the local Muslim youths. The rather negative experience of the past 15 years has taught the Russian authorities not to trust ANY foreigners claiming to be representing ANY religion, though the main targets of such laws are Islamists and various pseudo-Christian sects. As Russia is a multi-ethnic country, it is not surprising that the government is not willing to make exceptions for the Jews. Why should they??
18. JESUSALEN
jesusalen ,   jesusalen   (04.05.09)
Here is the man whose name is the branch,and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the lord,it is he who will build the temple of the lord,and he will be clothed with majesty and will be sit and rule on his throne,and he will be a priest on his throne and there will be harmony between the two(jews and gentiles) zejaryah 6,¡shalom mashiaj jesus!

Michael ,   New York   (04.06.09)
Hey, Bob ! In the US we tried everything to keep the Irish and their papist priests out, and it didn't help either !
22. JESUSALEN
JESUSALEN ,   JESUSALEN   (04.07.09)
Who has ascended into heaven and descended?who has gathered the wind in his fists? who has wrapped the waters in his garment? who has established all the ends of the earth? what is his name or his son´s name? surely you know(proverbs 30:4) he will be great,and will be called the son of the most high,and the lord G´d will give him the throne of his father david(luke 1:32)
23. intelligent discernment
avi15 ,   Oxford UK   (02.13.12)
That is the dumbest comment I ever read. Why are islam and Judaism regarded as identical by the authorities, then? Anyone with any accurate knowledge of the facts knows that this is not the case.
