Russia – a snide anti-Semitic video clip is stimulating Russian Jews
Only those who are well rooted into the Russian culture and history can begin
to understand the snideness of this video clip that was launched on the internet
several days ago. The photos are displayed on the background of the anthem of May 9th, the “Victory Day” over the Nazis. Soon after there are photos intended to deliver
the notion that the Jews are actually those controlling the Russian state. You may see pictures of the old Jewish Admor, the Reitz and even … Rabbi Barl Laser
is photographed with the new Russian president.

Jewish Russian organizations are demanding the removal of the clip off the internet and prosecuting those in charge of it.
Translation of the clip
The czar soldiers, oh, the czar soldiers
We have one revenge, revenge
They are rebelling and ruling
And betraying mother homeland
They look a bit different
And think of us bad
We have one revenge, revenge!
