Zlatko Zahovič, NK Maribor’s sports manager apologized for this incident.
“I would like apologize before the Hapoel Tel Aviv team and before the entire Jewish people. I was informed of the incident and the pictured that were published in Israel. I have Israeli friends and I respect them all. I do not approve that youngsters and drunks will hurt people who did not do them any harm. I ask the Hapoel Tel Aviv team to send me the photos of those people and I will make sure they will not be part of our team and I will involve the police on this matter. If the facts are true, then we will kick those 50 youngsters out of our team. I am outraged and fully aware of the Jewish people’s feelings on this matter. We will not tolerate this”.

Iran – Anti - Semitic “documentary” series aired on TV
In the past two months, an anti - Semitic documentary series called the “Armageddon Secret” is broadcast in Iran featuring “Iranian Scholars” presenting the classic anti – Semitic thesis according to which the Jews are striving to reach global destruction through the War of Gog and Magog, all with the purpose to rule and control the world. The MEMRI TV site broadcasts the relevant parts of the series.
An Iranian university professor, Ali-Reza Karimi, indicates that Israel’s goal is to “take over the world and hold its central position” is based on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and therefore, “the Jews inspire to rule the world. They encourage destruction and ruin, and we can witness such actions around us”.
Karamini says that the Jews not only believe in the promise to rule from the Nile to the Euphrates, but also that “God gave them the entire world”. Iran is usually proud of its positive approach to its Jews, however, the narrator in the series present the Jews in Iran in a different light. “The political and economic power the Jewish oligarchy enjoys has played a major roll in the history of Iran and the entire world”.
Karimi adds and says that “the entire world is aware that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion include plans and policies of the Elders of Zion to conquer the world and establish a global Jewish government, as things were discussed during the Jewish Congress in Basel in 1897”.
The narrator continued with this line saying that “these plans, which disclose the Zionists’ ideas and plans, were collected and gathered in 24 protocols. They deal with political, educational, social, economic and legal strategies that were planned to be implemented after they destroyed the economy, the civilization and religion of other nations. These strategies were intended to be realized through conspiracies that would lead to the establishment of a global Jewish government.
Another researcher, Shams Al-Din Rahmani, determines that the Zionists’ intention was to “totally destroy the Islam. They certainly know it will not be easy and therefore they want try Americanize the Islamic religion”.
Another researcher, Sayyid Hashem Mir-Louhi, says that the Russians attacked a Jewish gathering and laid their hands on this book, which was translated into many languages. Mir-Louhi says also that “the book appeared recently translated into Persian”. “There are Jids who deny the book and claim it is not theirs, but after examining the modus operandi of those Jids, you understand that it fits all that is said in the Protocols”.
Further on, the researchers refer to the term “freedom” in the Protocols and say that the Jews “will transform the crowds into blood thirsty creatures with stomachs full of blood after which they will fall asleep, whereas making it easier for the Jews to handcuff them”.
The scholars also mentioned that the Rothschild family acted as part of a secret political cult which “over hundreds of years distributed a secret network throughout the world”. The “Iranian scholars” say that the Rothschild family was the one who “implanted in the minds of the Jewish wealthy the idea that Palestine is the Promised Land ”. They claim that the majority of Jews did not have a specific country they preferred moving to. “Many considered America or South Africa as their Promised Land”.
However, they claim that the Rothschild family’s political power enabled the realization of this conspiracy. “The British government, controlled by the Zionist empire headed by the Rothschild family, was committed to realize the Zionist goal”. These anti – Semitic claims and clear and thin lies as delineated in the “documentary series” are recurrent.

Ukrain - lawmaker calls for purging Jews
Oleg Tyagnybok, a former member of President Viktor Yushchenko's parliament faction Our Ukraine, in a speech called for "merciless" action against Jews and Russians who have seized power in Ukraine.
Tyagnybok heads the Nationalistic Freedom Party, which holds several seats in the Lvov regional parliament.
Tyagnybok habitually labels Jews and Russians with the pejorative terms "kikes" and "moskali."
In a speech, Tyagnybok reportedly lashed out at Yushchenko by claiming that his surrogates are beginning to use the words such as "kike" and "moskali" in their speeches - words that four years ago got him expelled from the president's parliament faction.
"So now it's OK to use those words?" Tyagnybok asked. "But it's too late now! The kikes and moskali and their minions have seized power, and without a tough, merciless purge, there is nothing we can do about it."

USA - Terror suspect: Judge can't be fair because he's Jewish
Former Michigan resident arrested in 1998 for allegedly boarding plane to Lebanon with military equipment for Hizbullah says 'Jewish, Zionist judge, partial'
A judge rejected a Lebanese-born defendant's request that he remove himself from a case involving terrorism because the judge is Jewish.
Fawzi Mustapha Assi, 48, has pleaded guilty to providing support for a terrorist group. He addressed the court Monday against the advice of his attorney, saying he heard rumors that US District Judge Gerald Rosen is a Zionist and might have pro-Israel sympathies.
Assi said he was concerned the judge could not be impartial when sentencing him for supporting "one of the most hated enemies of the State of Israel."
Rosen said Assi's request was "a little late" and that the court "has bent over backwards" to ensure fairness.
Sentencing is expected within eight weeks.
