Israeli, Russian officials hurried to declare that yesterday’s murder of Mrs. Anetdinova was a robbery by drug addict. We believe it is a retaliatory killing of a Jew by Russian antisemites after “suicide” (an apparent murder) of famous Russian antisemite Koptsov in jail.
According to the official version, the drug addict demanded money and jewelery from Mrs. Anetdinova, and murdered her when she refused. That story is nonsense. Drug addicts rarely kill in Russia, as their treatment in jail is horrendous; they specialize in petty theft but not murder. It is extremely unlikely that Mrs. Anetdinova would have fought an armed male at night rather than surrender her valuables. It is extremely uncommon for drug addicts to murder their screaming victims. Another official version is equally implausible: that the drug addict came from behind and immediately stubbed Mrs. Anetdinova in carotid artery. He is a trained assassin capable of professional strike, not off-the-mill drug addict.
It is clear why Russian authorities don’t want to announce another antisemitic murder. Israeli authorities, too, don’t want to link an insufficiently considered assassination of Koptsov with the retaliatory stubbing.






Anti-semitic murder seems to be the phobia of Israelis. As Americans see terroristic acts everywhere, the Jews see anti-semitism. Some addict killed some woman and this is an anti-semitic murder.
Instead of discussing what happened abroad, Israelis’d better look carefully at what’s happening in their own flags, PLO flags at demonstration in Tel Aviv seem to be more important. At first glance, at least.
Israel speaks about some compensation What for? In Israel China earthquake doesn’t stir any sympathy. Why should other people be sympathetic to Israel?
