Where are they supposed to go to be safe?

    Nobody should be attacked based on the religion, or their ethnicity. Holding an airplane of random people responsible for the actions of a country is terrible, and it’s a emotional response.

    I guess when your country is committed to a terrible action (Ukraine), you’re looking for any scapegoat to make you feel better about yourself.

    Russia has a huge security problem if they can’t maintain airport sterile zones, on the other hand a bunch of people have just demonstrated their willing to fight, enabled bodied, so that should help their local recruitment efforts for the war…

      Agree, this is getting out of hand. It’s complicated but world leaders should stop using and dividing civilians like this.

      Just acknowledge that Hamas is bad, the Israeli response is bad and that civilians on both sides are paying the price.

      The amount of people I’ve seen encouraging this attack in lemmy just makes me sad. Not surprised, but still sad.

      A lot of people don’t realise that many parts of central Russia are predominantly Muslim

      I hear they’re a tad intolerant sometimes

      Why is it only up to Russia to de-nazify everyone? They did it for Ukraine, the least they could do is return the favour.

    “The riots appear to have been inspired by a number of posts on the social media platform Telegram”

    Soooo let me guess… there weren’t even any actual flights from Israel?

    I find in kinda funny, in the darkest way, that Israel has done so much damage to the publics’ perception of Jewish folks, at least based on news like this.

    Also, that Israel seems to be taking plays out if Hitler’s book when it comes to damaging and othering their neighbors over petty shit.

    Fascism cropping up in a conservative ethnostate? You don’t say. Insert shocked pikachu meme here.

      The sole reason why Israel exists is because this kind of public perception was there for centuries…

    Israel was established as a sanctuary for Jewish people. All it seems to be doing is increasing their insecurity.
