Protesters in Cherkessk demanded that refugees from Israel be banned from entering the republic

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Participants in the action in Cherkessk demanded that the authorities not allow refugees from Israel into the territory of Karachay-Cherkessia and organize the collection of aid for Palestine.
Why in the name of all that is holy would Jewish Israelis seek refuge in the Caucasus? For that matter, why would Muslim Israelis do so?
They asked the authorities to coordinate a rally on this issue.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict evoked a response among Muslims in the North Caucasus. Thus, in Chechnya, the official clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine, and on October 17, residents of Dagestan tried to hold an action in the central square of Makhachkala, which was dispersed by security forces. On October 19, the Muftiate of Dagestan called on the imams of mosques to pray for an end to the war at Friday prayers. On October 27, mass prayers for Palestinians were held in mosques in Karachay-Cherkessia.

Who and how in the North Caucasus expressed support for Palestine can be read in the “Caucasian Knot” information “ Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus ”.

A rally in support of Palestine took place today in Cherkessk in front of the government house, the Kavkaz.Realii publication reported.

As follows from the video published today in the Telegram channel “New Dosh Magazine,” the protesters spoke with the official in a raised voice. Among those gathered there were a large number of women.

“Can you help us?” one of the women asks the official.

“Look, there is a law..." he begins to answer.

"No, can you?" she insists.

"No one will help," says a voice from the crowd.

"Can you help? Can you evict?" the woman asks again.

"By legal means..." the official begins to say.

"How can we evict them by legal means? Are Palestines being killed by legal means? They throw stones, but these throw missiles, is that normal?” one of the participants in the conversation was indignant.

The conversation between the protest participants and the official was about not allowing visitors from Israel into the region and evicting those already living there, the Baza Telegram channel reported today.

In another video published today on the Telegram channel “ChP Grozny,” a woman behind the scenes reads out the demands of the protesters.

“On behalf of the people of Karachay-Cherkessia, I ask you to limit the entry of refugees from Israel into our territory,” she says, reading a handwritten text on a piece of paper.

“Why restrict, you can’t write ban?” - another woman interrupts her.

“To limit is a ban”? - answers the woman who reads the text.

“And I also ask you not to build a building to receive Jewish refugees. We ask you to organize a collection of aid for the territory of Palestine. We also ask you to approve an authorized rally for us, five hundred or even more gathered. We, 500 people, ask you to respond within two days to our appeal officially. In extreme cases, we will be forced to gather again without permission for a rally on October 31,” the woman read the statement.

The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, including civilian targets and civilians. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching the Iron Swords military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides.
Whoops! The Kavkaz-Uzel reporter and his editor forgot to mention the 1400 Israelis and foreigners brutally murdered that day, and the 250 or so of all ages and nationalities kidnapped for pleasure and profit by the Invaders from Gaza under strict orders from Tehran
The Islamic movement Hamas  is recognized as terrorist  in a number of countries: in particular, France and the European Union added it to the list of terrorist groups after the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Russia, the movement has not been declared terrorist, since none of its representatives have been convicted in Russia, the Prosecutor General’s Office said in response to a request from a deputy from St. Petersburg.
Russia has a sentimental attachment to Hamas, because the Palestinian “liberation” movement was fostered and trained in terrorism as a Soviet project. Originally it was the Palestine Liberation Organization, an umbrella group that originally was primarily various flavours of Communist and Socialist, but the group later expanded to include the Islamofascists of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

#4  *happy sigh* I do enjoy your limericks, Zenobia F. With as many layers as a JosephMendiola post, but easier to grasp on the surface. ;-)

I saw what you did there, Penguin_of_the_Khaganate!

And, just to put a bow on the thing, I had thought the Circassians in Israel were Christians, Grom, but clearly I was wrong. I have a lovely recipe for Circassian chicken with walnuts and lots of garlic, eaten as a spread with bread — a gift from a Turkish woman I knew in Frankfurt. I suspect the recipe predates Islam.

#3  Always figured, not that I've studied it or anything, that that Khazar stuff was mostly the local version of "Baby, please come back! All is forgiven!" Speaking of inadequate attempts at reconciliation, and Clooneys...

"I'm serious! By the Rasul,
You Turks require someone to rule."
"Caucasian? Oooh, trendy."
"You betcha, effendi."

#2  They are worried that we might say, "You know, on second thought maybe we are Khazars. Lets reclaim the Caucasus!"

#1  For that matter, why would Muslim Israelis do so?
