About 100 fundamentalist Orthodox believers gathered in downtown Chisinau today to take down a Hanukkah Menorah installed by the Moldovan Jewish community in the country.
A priest spoke during the event today, making a series of anti-Semitic statements. He said that Jewish people are trying to "dominate people" and that Moldova is an Orthodox country. The priest added that "the Jews can try to kill us, to traumatize our children," but that Moldovan Orthodox believers will resist. He used a popular pejorative word "jidov" to talk about the Jewish community.
JurnalTV has footage of the menorah being taken down.
