Russia orders Jewish Agency to cease operations, stops Jews from immigrating to Israel. With the closure of the Jewish Agency, the remaining Russian Jews will not be permitted to leave the country, effectively making hostages out of Russia’s approximately 500,000 Jews. (Frankly, I had no idea there were still 500,000 Jews in Russia)
Post Millennial(h/t Gila K) Sources in Russia’s Jewish community told the Post that “people from the Jewish community have been feeling the Iron Curtain setting on them and they fear they won’t be able to escape the country” and that “a number of Jews have said that the Russian authorities are trying to arrest them and that they fear for their lives.”
The Jewish Agency rescued approximately one million Jews from the former Soviet Union in the 20th century. Approximately 16,000 Jews have immigrated to Israel since Russia invaded Ukraine.
The move against the largest Jewish non-profit organization in the world followed criticism of Putin’s war in Ukraine, by then Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, who accused Russia in April of committing war crimes. Since then, Lapid has been named Israel’s interim Prime Minister pending the upcoming election.
According to The Post, the Russian Justice Ministry sent a letter to the Jewish Agency earlier this month with a list of alleged violations of the law and their consequences. Russia accused the Jewish Agency of illegally collecting information about Russian citizens. It also recently expanded its definition of a foreign agent to include anyone who receives support from abroad and engages in actions that the authorities determine are against Russia’s national interest.
Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Minister Nachman Shai said on Thursday, “Russian Jews will not be held hostage by the war in Ukraine. The attempt to punish the Jewish Agency for Israel’s position on the war is pathetic and insulting. The Jews of Russia will not be detached from the historical and emotional connection to the State of Israel.”

Look what happened to Pharoah when he wouldn’t let His people go.
Bonni, you are correct. There are not 500,000 Jews in today’s Russia. Perhaps 185k a number I’ve seen on several sites. Prior to the current war
estimates for Ukraine were between 250k-330K. So perhaps Ukraine and Russia combined reached 500K. It is not known how many Ukrainian Jews have fled the country, thousands to Israel and others to eastern Europe. Sources at an organization to which I have donated to liberate Jews from Ukraine, estimate perhaps 200k remain in the country.

BIG MISTAKE.
In view of the satanic treatment of Jews by rabid GOD HATERS for thousands of years, Lapid shouldn’t have said a word. He should have contacted all Jewish leaders in Russia to urge Jews to get out of Russia immediately, without delay.
I have said repeatedly Jews need to get out of Britain and Europe because of constant attacks by Muslims.
Please God, Make a way where there is no way. Please get Your people, the Jews out of Russia. Surround them with Your Holy angels.
The GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the GOD of Israel will bring His people home!

Nothing surprising from the land of the Black Hundreds and the writing of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and multiple blood libels.
