Related: About this forum(Jewish Group) Jews May Have Killed Russia's Last Czar Nicholas II In Ritual Murder, Investigators C
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!! RESPECT!!)The head of Russias Orthodox Church is launching an investigation into whether the last Czar of Russia, Nicholas II, and his family were victims of a ritual murder carried out by angry Jews in 1918, Church leaders revealed in a statement Tuesday.
"A large share of the church commission members have no doubts that the murder was ritual, Father Tikhon Shevkunov, the Orthodox bishop heading the panel, told The Associated Press.
Russias top investigative agency has also said it will conduct an independent probe into the theory.
Nicholas II, his wife, and their five children were executed by a Bolshevik firing squad on July 17, 1918, less than a year after a communist revolution unseated the monarchy and launched a civil war in Russia. The Russian Orthodox Church made the Czar and his family saints in 2000.

So, who will be surprised when the pogroms come again?

(12,858 posts)1. Sounds like some people want to redo history, only make it worse
At least for victims.
They want a permanent do-over, in which they grab everything and are the permanent winners.
The US right's decades-long roll-back of the progress of the 60s - civil rights, women-s rights, acceptance of public questioning of the government - has become a model for the right everywhere.

Make that Europe in general was never friendly or safe.
But in Russia it was awful under the czars and under the soviets as well.

(3,051 posts)3. Well, I could see why Jews would want to kill Nicholas II
As would a lot of people. He was a putz.
But, what Jewish ritual do they refer to? In the ~3500 years of our religion, ritual killing of a human has never been part of the deal.
