to destroy the Jewish state? Pres. puta is a danger to the Jewish people!

He's returning Russia to the old days when it was the Soviet Union. Putin is dangerous. Russia is moving backwards again. I hope the Russian people stop this.

No kopeck will go to Syria and suchlike. Forty years ago Soviet Union had lost a lot of money on them already. If they want they pay for it. enough about them. The news was on 1st channel yesterday. Besides Chief Rabbi Lazar I think there was also Chief Rabbi Shayevich. It was not declared the theme of this museum. I think it will not be Holocaust only. All the great history of Jews across Russian Empire/Soviet Union/Russian Federation must be shown. Might be a whole chapter about Chassidic/Chabad also. And Jews in art deserve a whole museum on their own. Let's see. This is going to be a state-funded affair, a long-due tribute to all the Russian Jewry. Could be an attraction for Israeli tourists (provided the young will shut down their cellulars :). I can't remember is there such museums in Poland or Ukraine? (except Oswiecim)

gee, thx! but could you please stop selling weapons and nuclear technology to iran et. al?

He started a programme (called a 'National Project' in government lingo) to replace all the rusty ambulance cars all over the country. Now here on the street are these sparkling new vans not unlike those you get in Israel, for example. This is a thing readily visible for everyone on the street. The medical equipment is bought in quantities. I wonder how much of it is Israel-made. You see, demographic situation has become a concern in Russia so there is work going in this direction and will be. By the way, minister for Public Health gets most of fire from Duma. Thanks to Putin personally the oil profits are going today not to Syria, palis &Co, but to the solving of vast internal problems, long-overdue too. Nuclear profits from Iran, now ceased, came handy too. 15,000 ambulance cars do not grow on trees. This is, of course, just a government work, but most governments need a kickstart to proceed... Thank you for asking.

Seems as if theJews from Russia, now in England or Israel could have contributed their gains, and made more of an impact. Has Israel ever contributed to Russia, or done anything for ethnic Russian children? Does Israel do anything for any people other than its own? Have they ever? Will they ever?

plus tax which is even less. This is so unworthy of news, what it amounts to is a insane propoganda article for putin.

George, Israel, mind you, had taken in hundreds of children from Chernobyl & outlying areas in Ukraine and Belorrusia to be medically treated. Did you know that Israel took in 500 Vietnamese boat people ? How about Israeli medical and military personnel going in and leading assistance with earthquake aftermath in Turkey and other countries ? Did you see the picture of Israeli officers from a special recovery unit who helped injured Turkes / found people stuck in ruins ?How about assisting in Kenya & Tanzania where Israelis led the recovery efforts? Israel had offered assistance to both Indonesia and Iran when those countries had tsunami & earthquake respectively (of course, assistance was turned down). George, seems like some in Texas haven't been following the world news for a while. This isn't a case here in North East US.

I must say that this was a good gesture. No, not that the money is important. But in a country where a large number of people hold racist views about many ethnic groups and Jews in particular, hopefully this gesture would make some people think.

is not just a bit of money. I don't really care what this presidential job pays today. What Putin really has given is green light for the project. So we might expect in about two years time for the museum to open. No official can refuse to Berl Lazar now. The word of Putin counts very much. At least one might expect a nice building lot to be allocated.

dictator and enemy of Israel, this is a joke.

..than to Jewish ones . This is to my bitter disappointment!! I wish they would NOT do this as we say in English "CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME " You are in USA and you dont know this fact . Go make enquiries if this is not so and come back with your statistics. Tell all of us your discovery or else dont write garbage BTW are you from a Middle East Country?You seem brainwashed!

Nope. George is just an Aall-American Jew-hater. Less of them than there used to be. But he's far from the only one.

Jews need to be returning to Israel, not building up in Russia. P.S. How do you work "Russia" and "tolerance" into one sentence? ;-[

Israel is usually the first country to offer helf whenever a disaster takes place ANYWHERE in the world. It even offered help to the Iranians after the earthquake at Qom. Many third world countries receive aid from Israel on a regular basis. Will this info help change your sentiments towards it?

Is this generosity by deception or using money to wash away your sins against Israel

Some tried. In the event the State of Israel got landed with 300,000 "Russians". Plus a number of Russian-speaking Israel citizens all over the world. This sort of things does not encourage further aliyahs. I'm sure over the years Russian Jews, along with many other our citizens, will revive their religions, renew traditions and will be considered (and consider themselves) as true, halachic Jews. This requires time, however.

If you give a Jew 1 million dollar he will hate you for not giving him 2 million.

If you give a pathetic racist a platform to speak, he will never stop finding reasons to hate us.

The amount of humanitarian operations the IDF has engaged in and the Israel Humanitarian Foundation and Aid Organization has done for non-Israelis is immense (operatiosn in Kenya, Turkey, Kazakhstan, etc). And this is ON TOP of saving Vietnamese refugees, Bosnian Muslim refugees, and Sudanese Muslim refugees.

has shown an interest in Jewish culture by donating a month's salary to the museum construction fund. Many Russians are descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who do not realize that. After ancient Israel was taken into captivity by the Assyrians, they escaped when the Assyrians went back to attack Judah. The Israelites crosssed the Caucasus Mtns. into Russia and Europe and were called Caucasians. It is sad that Ezekiel the Prophet talked about Magog and ancient name for Russia attacking Israel with countries that are Moslem. The destruction to the Russian coalition army will be horrific from the Lord's hand. I would like to see that avoided, for Russia's sake, as well as for the sake of Israel and the other countries involved.
