Hundreds of people stormed into the main airport in Russia’s Dagestan region and onto the landing field Sunday, chanting antisemitic slogans and seeking passengers arriving on a flight from Tel Aviv, Israel, Russian news agencies and social media reported.

Russian news reports said the crowd surrounded the airliner, which belonged to Russian carrier Red Wings.

Authorities closed the airport in Makhachkala, the capital of the predominantly Muslim region, and police converged on the facility. Dagestan’s Ministry of Health said more than 20 people were injured, with two in critical condition. It said the injured included police officers and civilians.

    I would also absolutely say that antisemitism is baked into the Bible. Antisemitism is baked into a lot of things throughout history, too. I am not trying to say that all Muslims and Christians are antisemitic, but their writings most definitely are, and it gives people an excuse to be that way whenever is convenient. Also, none of this excuses what Israel has done and is doing to Gaza.
