Turns Out, No Jewish Conspiracy After All
Accusations of Jewish conspiracies in Russia. Who knew?
Russia's state prosecutor announced Tuesday afternoon that he is canceling an investigation into claims that a 19th century abridged code of Jewish law (halakha) contains incitement against non-Jews. The preliminary investigation of the Jewish umbrella organization for distributing a Russian translation of the text has also been dropped. The lawyer for Russian Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar was informed of the decision.
This is better than when they launched pogroms based on the Protocols of Zion - at least this time the Russians were using real Jewish documents. Some day, I even imagine a day in which Russians don't have to launch anti-Semitic witch-hunts at all. Maybe.
