Someone didn’t get the memo on those Judeo-Christian values
Modern anti-Semitism isn’t just for Muslims and it remains alive and well – in Moldova – among other places. An Orthodox Russian priest and his parishioners practice ‘inter-faith dialogue’ – circa Chanukah 2009. Ha’aretz:
Dozens of people led by an Orthodox priest smashed a menorah in Moldova’s capital, using hammers and iron bars to remove the candelabra during Hanukkah, officials said. The 1.5 meter(5-foot)-tall ceremonial candelabrum was retrieved, reinstalled and is now under police guard.
Police said they were investigating but there was no official reaction from Moldova’s Orthodox Church, which is part of the Russian Orthodox Church and counts 70 percent of Moldovans as members.
