NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – As Jews across the Tri-State area are celebrating Passover, a chilling new development is taking place in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk, which has recently been caught up in a wave of pro-Russian turmoil.

Flyers, purportedly distributed by pro-Russian rebels, are demanding Jews register with the “Nationalities Commissioner” and pay $50 or lose their citizenship and face deportation, according to a translation provided by the National Conference Supporting Jews in Russia, Ukraine, the Baltic States & Eurasia (NCSJ).  

Secretary of State John Kerry blasted the flyers, saying their distribution is “grotesque.”

According to the NCSJ, the leaflets read:

Dear citizens of Jewish nationality! Due to the fact that leaders of the Jewish Community of Ukraine support the Bandera junta in Kiev and are hostile to the Orthodox Donetsk Republic and its citizens, the main headquarters of the Donetsk Republic declares the following:

• Every citizen of Jewish nationality older than 16 years, residing in the territory of a sovereign Donetsk Republic has to go to Donetsk Regional Administrator to see the Nationalities Commissioner, Office 514, for registration. The registration fee is $50. 
• Persons should have with them with cash in the amount of $50 for registration, a passport to mark their religion, and documents of family members, as well as ownership documents for their properties and vehicles.
• In case of failure to register, the perpetrators will lose their citizenship and will be deported outside the republic, with their property confiscated.

The flyers were signed by the leader of Donetsk’s pro-Russian separatists, the NCSJ said.

The separatists denied they distributed the flyers and called them a provocation, the Jerusalem Post reported, citing news website tvrain.ru.

“In the year 2014, after all of the miles traveled and all of the journey of history, this is not just intolerable; it’s grotesque,” said Kerry. “It is beyond unacceptable, and any of the people who engage in these kinds of activities – from whatever party or whatever ideology or whatever place they crawl out of – there is no place for that.”

  1. Sounds more like something the CIA, or a local Donetsk Jew, (or just New York Jew propaganda) would do to continue to foment unrest and destabilization.

    Dear CIA and banksters:
    Gladio is dead. The corpse is in an advanced state of rot and stink. You are hereby notified to bury it forthwith.
    Sincerely,
    Humanity

    1. sounds like a dam good idea to me, and if you are a dual citizen then pay 500,000 and then get the hell out of our country!!

  2. Just kick all Jews out….PERIOD! You would be surprised how much your economy would improve with the parasites gone!!!

  3. Sounds like the Zionists are trying to start another German Holohoax. Didn’t the Germans make the Jews register or something similar to this before putting them in concentration camps in WWII? They gotta stop playing that victim game. It’s getting old. Everyone becomes a victim at some point in their lives. That’s life. The Zionist Jews are no different and they are not god.

    DEAL WITH IT, you Zionist scum! If you can’t, then just take a long walk off a short pier and don’t come back up for air.

  4. Most probably it’s bullshit done by zionists to demonize russians.
    The big give-away for me is that they ask to pay in dollars..not rubles, or hryvnia.

    Here’s a translation:

    Dear Citizens with the Jewish nationality.

    Due to the fact that leaders from the jewish society of ukraine supports the Banderskuja Junta, in kiev and acts hostilely on the sovereign territory of the Republic of Donetsk and it’s citizens.
    The headquarters of the Donetsk peoples republic stated the following:

    To bring: 50 Us dollars for the payment of the registration also passport for notes/marks about the religion, documents related to your family.
    Also documents to everything that belongs movement and means of transport.

    In case of avoidence from the registration the guilty ones will be stripped of their citizenship and deported forcibly outside the country with confiscation of their properties.
