There's a law in Russia and other countries prohibiting removal abroad an artifacts with historical value including private ones. This law prevents rich individuals and countries to rob less fortunate ones of their history. Everyone respects and agrees with it except Jews - Now because of those black hatted jerks action the rest of decent Americans won't be able to see other exhibitions,...

Last time US attempted to apply levy on Russian art from Hermitage, on the grounds to compensate for this scumbag scheme. This whole thing is a world wide shame for US.

While Americans did nothing and American Jews did the same, Russia supplied arms via the Czech to fend off the British assault by Sir John Glubb's Arab Legion during our War of Independence. As Obama's America eventually will turn against Israel we'll may be need the new Russia's help again to survive.
