Rabbi Nachman's grave desecrated with pig's head, 'blood' in Ukraine
Astonished visitors arrived to a gruesome antisemitic scene of a pig's head and red paint splatters Wednesday morning at the venerated Rabbi Nachman's grave in Uman, Ukraine.This Female IDF Soldier Fights Off 23 Terrorists in Ambush Attack After Being Shot
The act of vandalism is believed to have occurred late Tuesday night.
The Chief Rabbi of Ukraine, Moshe Asman, said in an interview with Army Radio: "We will look into it, we have ways to do this, along with the police and local intelligence institutions, we will try to reach them. Vandals threw a pig's head and shed blood."
"The question now is who did it, it wasn't easy to move it there, because the area is inhabited by a lot of Jews."
"There haven't been events like this, but there are always cases of antisemitism before the New Year. In such a small place sometimes there are incidents, but I don't have any more details, we will learn more from the investigation," he added.
Yesh Atid Chairman Yair Lapid on Wednesday morning urged the Ukrainian Ambassador in Israel, Hennadii Nadolenko, to swiftly investigate the incident and demanded that the Ukrainian government act quickly to ensure the security of the many Jewish visitors who regularly visit the site.
Captain Or Ben-Yehuda of the Israeli Defense Forces has cemented a legacy that will endure well past her lifetime. The young, decorated IDF Captain was in charge of a company of soldiers when they were violently attacked by nearly two dozen terrorists near the Egyptian border.
Due to her leadership and bravery, she and her men were able to survive.
Captain Ben-Yehuda was in charge of the Caracal Battalion which was stationed near the Israeli / Egyptian border. Three suspicious vehicles quickly approached the battalion’s position and Captain Ben-Yehuda along with a driver went to check them out.
As they approached the first vehicle, nearly two dozen armed men opened fire on their position in an ambush attack. Both Captain Ben-Yehuda and her driver were immediately shot in the volley of gunfire.
Despite suffering from a gunshot wound, Captain Ben-Yehuda managed to get on the radio and call for backup, administer first aid to her driver and return several magazines worth of gunfire back at her attackers.
Barry Shaw: Obama’s Inaction in Syria Has Disgraced the Nobel Peace Prize
Attempts to achieve peace through inaction are bound to fail. Just ask the people of Aleppo. Attempts to achieve peace through appeasement are bound to fail. Just ask Neville Chamberlain. Peace only comes from assertive action that destroys a rampaging enemy’s will to survive. Just ask Winston Churchill. World War II should have taught us that.
Doing nothing in the face of an Assad-inflicted genocide in Syria — which is supported by Iran and Russia — has shown us where inaction leads.
Obama’s promise to live up to the vain standards of the Nobel Peace Prize lies in the ashes of Aleppo.
Obama’s dereliction of his international and humanitarian responsibilities by failing to implement his infamous “red lines”warning made a mockery of the Nobel Prize. His non-violent policy and impotence to act gave the green light to the resultant Syrian genocide.
Syria is another step that follows in the awful tradition of Rwanda, Sudan and many more. Collectively, they show us that only using force against evil-doers will protect innocent lives against acts of unchallenged heinous massacre.
When good men of influence do nothing but complain, evil triumphs. Obama was a complainer, not a doer.
