Jews emerging from a synagogue say they were handed leaflets that ordered the city's Jews to provide a list of property they own and pay a registration fee "or else have their citizenship revoked, face deportation and see their assets confiscated," reported Ynet News, Israel's largest news website.
Wow. Just wow. I cannot believe a complacent world will sit around while this happens again. :mad5
Barry will tell them to stop it just like he told Putin.

And if that doesn't work, he'll tell them in no uncertain terms.

He's BA-ACK!

The person identified as a russian special forces soldier in the OP of this thread has reappeared in another city as a "concerned citizen". More details on the rifle:
The rifle in question is semi-automatic Z-15 (AR15-clone), as manufactured by Zbroyar in Kiev, Ukraine. It has the following modifications:
  • Adams Arms gas piston conversion (US)
  • Daniel Defence rail system (US)
  • Magpull collapsible stock and fore grip (US)
  • Hogue/RRA grip (US)
  • Tactical Systems silencer (Ukraine).

The one and same weapon has been fitted with different optics in Crimea and in eastern Ukraine:
  • EOTech XPS2-0 (US) w/
  • Vortex VMX3 magnifier (US) in eastern Ukraine
  • Zeiss 6,5-20x50 Conquest (Germany) in Crimea

That is not a rifle of a Russian SpN or hard-core operator, but of a 42-year-old avid firearms (and air gun) enthusiast and hunter from Simferopol.

And that is not a guess.

So Mr Breedlove and Mr Ripley,

Mr Silencer and I may both drive SUVs, but neither of us works as a truck driver. If your own analysts really can’t figure out his license plate’s number, you can always call me.
