DieHardBrownsFan Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 STATE DEPARTMENT Kerry reacts to report that Jews in Ukrainian city told to register Published April 17, 2014 FoxNews.com Facebook2420 Twitter922 Gplus16 April 16, 2014: Secretary of State John Kerry arrives in Geneva.AP Secretary of State John Kerry reacted to a report Thursday that Jews in one restive Ukrainian city were sent notices telling them to register, a development he called "grotesque." Kerry's comments follow a report in Israel's Ynet News that a leaflet was circulating in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk, demanding that Jews register -- as well as provide a list of property they own -- or else face deportation and revocation of citizenship. Pro-Russian activists have asserted partial control over some government buildings in that city. ADVERTISEMENT Ynet reported that the notices, sent as the Passover holiday began, were signed by Denis Pushilin, chairman of Donetsk's temporary government -- though Ynet reports that Pushilin confirmed the flyers came from his organization, "but denied any connection to the leaflet's content." The notices reportedly were sent to areas where pro-Russian activists have declared the region as a "people's republic" in defiance of the central Ukrainian government. While questions circulated about the origin of the flyers, Ynet reported the flyers said that because Jewish community leaders supported a Ukrainian nationalist movement and "oppose the pro-Slavic People's Republic of Donetsk," the interim government has decided: "that all citizens of Jewish descent, over 16 years of age and residing within the republic's territory are required to report to the Commissioner for Nationalities in the Donetsk Regional Administration building and register." The notices reportedly demand Jews pay a $50 registration fee. Kerry addressed the flyer reports during a press conference in Geneva, where he and other diplomats are meeting on the crisis in Ukraine. "Just in the last couple of days, notices were sent to Jews in one city indicating that they have to identify themselves as Jews," he said. "In the year 2014, after all of the miles traveled and all of the journey of history, this is not just intolerable -- it's grotesque. It is beyond unacceptable." Kerry said if anyone engages in these kinds of activities on either side, "there is no place for that." Photographs of the leaflets have been circulated by multiple media outlets. It remains unclear whether a formal or informal government body is really behind them. An Israeli official told Fox News that the issue was brought to the attention of the Israeli embassy and foreign ministry, though they presume the leaflets were handed out by local militia members as a kind of provocation. The official also said the notices were distributed by masked men. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said U.S. officials are trying to gather more information.

ballpeen Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 It is sickening. Much the same as asking gun owners to register. Ask non gun owners to register if you want to know who has guns.....and who's homes are open for invasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballpeen Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Exactly. Non-gun owners want registration. Lets see how they feel if they have to register and have their names and addresses open for public view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballpeen Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 If you are for gun registration, you are for Jew registration....and that's the bottom line. Registrate everything you aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Asking elective gun owners to register their murder machine and asking Jews who are born with no choice over what they are to register for simply being are not even close to tbe same. I know your vagina is sandy and chafing but try to fucking get real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Well, they want Jews registered so they know where they are.... the nazis required Jews to registered all the property they owned. anti gun people want guns to be registered so they know where they are. Then Jews got banned...and destroyed. There's some similarity there. Guns registered, then banned and destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Right Cal, semantically there is some similarity, except for, oh, the fact that Jews are people and guns aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
