Moldovan Orthodox Orthodox Orthodox desecrated Jewish symbol
The Hanukkah candle that was situated in the middle of the capital of Moldova it was destroyed by religious extremists. A priest from the Chisinau Orthdox Church was the one to lead the antisemitic attack.
Religious extremists smashed the celebration of Hanukkah in the center of Chisinau and staged an anti-Semitic protest. The event took place on the 13th of December, a Sunday, the third day of Hanukkah. An archpriest from one the capital's Orthodox Churches was in charge of a crowd of around 100 people. Participants shouting anti-Semitic chants, they carried a lamp made of cast iron about tens of kilometers away from the spot where it was originally installed and then threw it into the monument to Stefan The Great, a symbol of Moldovan independence. This was all done in front of a multitude of pedestrians, police officers, journalists and others.

How does the struggle to defend "orthodox principle " work?

Эммануил Гриншпун Эммануил Гриншпун Anarchpriest Anatoly Chelyuk was the leader of the group that was armed only with metal bars. He expressed his displeasure at the installation of a symbol of Jewish faith in the capital city of the Orthodox nation. In his opinion, authorities should have prevented Jews from celebrating Hanukkah in such a large number. "This is illegal," Chibrik said. Chibrik also said that he did not believe it necessary for him to debate the actions of parishioners from the Church of St. Paraskeva and the Metropolia of Moldova. He stated that he did not have the obligation to speak with anyone while we fight for Orthodox principles.

The city's authorities came up with the idea of installing the Hanukkah meorah in Chisinau's Europe Square. This is where the EU flag is displayed along with the Moldovan flag. Emmanuil Grinshpun was co-chairman of Jewish Congress of Moldova. He said that Hanukkah in Chisinau was being observed for the first time in many years. "What happened on Sunday was a real surprise for us,"" Grinshpun added.

Start a criminal case it upon the state's conscience

Archpriest Chibrik was not the only person who admitted to anti-Semitic behaviour as was demonstrated at a press conference of representatives from the Jewish Community of Moldova. Grinshpun asserts that the Archpriest published leaflets about a month back, which were similar to the dark Middle Ages.

Grinshpun has confirmed that the top leadership in the country's Jewish associations did not react to the situation in any manner. In the present, the Jewish community in Moldova has voiced their displeasure about what is happening, but it will not pursue Chibrik and his adherents for inciting hatred against ethnic groups. According to the chairman of the Jewish community Alexander Bilinkis, this should be done by the state as well as the Moldovan Metropolis should be able to evaluate the conduct of its employees.

Эммануил Гриншпун Vadimkeibash Metropolitan Secretary stated that the Metropolitan Secretary was against this kind of protest. Keibash believes that all communities have the right and obligation to exhibit symbols. However , the authorities should consider the consequences. He also said it was impossible to predict the reactions of followers.

A blow against fundamental values

But, there has been no "forms of protest" in the friendly Chisinau since the notorious 1903 Jewish pogrom. Representatives from the Jewish community are not inclined to take the case as a case of the hooliganism that it was. Эммануил Гриншпун Bilinkis says that the leadership deceived Hanukkah-breakers.

Ilya Shats is the General Director of the Jewish Congress. He believes this was a carefully planned action. Participants were seen at the menorah near the first day of Hanukkah. Then, Stav Nijinsky (the first secretary of Israeli Embassy in Chisinau) lit the first candle. Shchats says that the action is designed to compromise the legitimacy of Moldova's statehood, and to encroach upon its democratic principles and European aspirations.
