Watch as crowd chanting 'Allahu Akbar' storms Russia's Dagestan airport, search for Jews, Israelis
Chandigarh, October 30
Hundreds of people on Sunday stormed into the main airport in Russia’s Dagestan region in protest after rumours spread that a flight was arriving from Israel.
The mob carrying Palestinian flags approached passengers they thought were from Israel or were Jews and demanded that they return to their nation.
Russia started a war of aggression against Ukraine because they claimed they had to “denazify” Ukraine.
Meanwhile, thousands of Russian citizens formed a lynch mob in Dagestan today & stormed the airport to look for Jewish passengers.
