As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on October 28, a rally was held in Cherkessk in front of the government house of Karachay-Cherkessia , the participants of which called for not allowing refugees from Israel into the republic and organizing a collection of aid for Palestine. The rally participants stated that 500 people gathered at the rally. “We, five hundred people, ask for an official response to our appeal within two days,” they said. Muslims of the North Caucasus did not remain indifferent to the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Thus, in Chechnya, the clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine; on October 28, the Muftiate of Dagestan reported on thousands of participants in prayers for the Palestinians. In Khasavyurt on October 28, security forces stopped an action against the arrival of refugees from Israel. The police stopped an “unauthorized public event in the form of a rally,” which took place on October 28 in Cherkessk on Lenin Square, the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Karachay-Cherkessia reported today. According to the police, not 500, but 80 people took part in the action. “The illegal actions of those gathered were stopped by police officers. 34 violators were taken to the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the city of Cherkessk, where administrative protocols were drawn up against them on the grounds of an offense under Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (Violation of the established procedure for organizing or holding a meeting, rally, demonstration, procession or picketing). The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of a fine from 10 to 30 thousand rubles. Violation of public order and security was not allowed," says the publication on the ministry's website. The police warned of administrative and criminal liability for participation in unauthorized mass events and reminded “the inadmissibility of violations of the law during meetings, rallies, demonstrations, processions and picketing.” “Any attempts to violate public order will be immediately suppressed, and those responsible will be brought to justice in accordance with Russian legislation,” the message says. You can read about who and how in the regions of the North Caucasian Federal District expressed support for Palestine in the “Caucasian Knot” document “ Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus .” Muslims in the North Caucasus republics mostly sympathize with Palestine, but support has not become unconditional , and the topic of the conflict is not the main one in society, scientists, activists and journalists from the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District previously interviewed by the Caucasian Knot indicated. The Coordination Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus, commenting on the action held on October 28 in Cherkessk and calls to not allow refugees from Israel, called anti-Semitic actions unacceptable and called not to regard the opinion of their participants as the opinion of the people. The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, including civilian targets and civilians. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching the Iron Swords military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides . The Islamic movement Hamas is recognized as terrorist in a number of countries: in particular, France and the European Union added it to the list of terrorist groups after the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Russia, the movement has not been declared terrorist, since none of its representatives have been convicted in Russia, the Prosecutor General’s Office said in response to a request from a deputy from St. Petersburg.

| #6 Ah. Spain and Portugal tried that in 2015, calling for applicants who could document that they were direct descendants of those who’d been expelled in 1492 (Spain) and 1497 (Portugal). Of 239,000 applications between the two countries, 90,000 were given citizenship — 36,000 by Spain and 54,000 by Portugal. It will be interesting to see how many actually move there and what effect they have. |

| #2 What does he want Jews for, Grom? Given that he just called in representatives of Iran and Hamas in support of Hamas — that’s not the kind of thing that would make Russian Israelis feel welcome, surely. |

Police clad in riot gear entered the airport, detaining multiple protesters, footage circulating online suggests. Some 20 people, including at least six police officers, were injured in clashes, according to local health authorities Because Vlad really wants Jews - there are ads in all Russian language newspapers in Israel. |
