Hundreds of people stormed into the main airport in Russia’s Dagestan region and onto the landing field Sunday, chanting antisemitic slogans and seeking passengers arriving on a flight from Tel Aviv, Israel, Russian news agencies and social media reported.

Russian news reports said the crowd surrounded the airliner, which belonged to Russian carrier Red Wings.

Authorities closed the airport in Makhachkala, the capital of the predominantly Muslim region, and police converged on the facility. Dagestan’s Ministry of Health said more than 20 people were injured, with two in critical condition. It said the injured included police officers and civilians.

Jew-hate is alive and well in the country purporting to be stamping out neo-nazis in Ukraine. The irony needs no seasoning.

It doesn’t seem like neo-Nazism in this case but rather the long standing hate by Muslims if it makes any difference. From the news coverage I’ve seen of this, it seems like it was a mob of Muslims waving Palestinian flags.

As far as I understand; nazi, in russian, translates to “western European russophobic”. I suspect many Russians are scarcely aware that Nazi Germany did something to Jews.

Nazi more or less translates to “anyone who is against us, like the Germans”.

Dagestani under Kadyrov are their own kind. I’ve seen some public signs of support to Hamas. I have no doubts it’s orchestrated by local administration.

Dagestani people are mostly Sunni Muslim. So I would call the group in this instance Islamic extremists, or just conservative Muslims, and not Nazis. Antisemitism is kind of baked into the Quran, sadly. Not to mention modern history between the two groups kind of fuels that fire.

That’s not to say that there aren’t actual Nazis in Russia, and there may have even been a few involved here. To be fair, its getting hard to tell the difference between Nazis, and extremely conservative people of most every religious denomination nowadays. So I guess your point still stands.

Not totally true. Arab Muslims and Arab Jews lived mostly peacefully together for many hundreds of years. It’s like saying antisemitism is baked into the Bible. It sortof is, but not really. You have to stretch things and manipulate it to do that, and try to force people to care. Most people just want to live their lives. Making any of this Israel stuff about religion just plays into Israel’s playbook. Arab Jews lived in that region without murdering the Muslims for a long time. It’s the European colonial Zionists that started murdering and saying Muslims couldn’t live there with them peacefully.

I would also absolutely say that antisemitism is baked into the Bible. Antisemitism is baked into a lot of things throughout history, too. I am not trying to say that all Muslims and Christians are antisemitic, but their writings most definitely are, and it gives people an excuse to be that way whenever is convenient. Also, none of this excuses what Israel has done and is doing to Gaza.

Bruh, you think race riots ever went away. They’ve just been gone for the Jews. There was literally a race war between Hindus and Christians in Manipur, India earlier this year. Muslims have been actively cleansed in Burma for a half decade now. There was a decades long war between the Sinhalese and Tamil people in Sri Lanka. There were the 2002 Gujrat Riots where 2000 Muslims were killed where the government condoned the violence and actively refused to intervene. The same man is in charge of India now with the largest mandate ever.

wtf?! What has this got to do with India?! But then I checked your profile, looks like you are a Pakistani.

Pakistan has already killed more Muslims than Israel:

  1. More than 23,000 Shias have been killed since 1963 according to this video: https://youtu.be/KjdsKVRAbPU

  2. Bengal genocide

  3. Here your PM Imran Khan himself said that the army is bombing the Balochi Muslims: https://twitter.com/navneet_mundhra/status/1168770123412340737?s=20

  4. Pakistani constitution has anti Ahmediyya laws in place, which says that Ahmediyyas are not muslims. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-pakistan-religion/pakistans-ahmadi-community-releases-damning-persecution-report-idUSKBN1HZ06R

  5. Many Ahmediyyas flew to Nepal because of the persecution https://themuslimtimes.info/2019/06/20/ahmadis-in-pakistan-face-persecution-flee-to-nepal/

  6. Pakistan accused of dumping over 1000 bodies of Balochi Muslims https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-38454483

Now, let us dismantle this political correctness when it comes to Jews vs Muslims conflict.

Islamic holy scriptures literally have antisemitism enshrined in their doctrines, like Nazism is part of Islam. That’s why they have been at war for 1000s of years now.

Muslims aren’t even allowed to wish their Islamic greeting to Jews and Christians, that’s how antisemitic their scriptures are.

Here a Muslim refuses to wish their greeting to a Jew: https://x.com/israel_advocacy/status/1519731950902300673?s=20

This is also the reason why Hitler was appreciative of Islam and many prominent Muslim leader allied with him because of their mutual hatred for Jews.

The point is that similar events have been happening in recent history. Nothing about your sources disproved this, in fact it’s all good info to validate what they’re saying.

I will say that using a Twitter video from the Israel advocacy group to validate your claim about Islamic scripture comes across as very tenuous and hard to take seriously at face value.

It’s very interesting because all the sources you provide for talking about Pakistan all seem very solid.

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
