☆ Russia's dwindling 'Mountain Jews' in spotlight after Dagestan airport riot
  + stars: | 2023-10-30 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
A rabbi walks in the courtyard of a synagogue in the ancient city of Debent on the Caspian Sea coast in Russia's Caucasus region of Dagestan August 17, 2007. Dagestan became part of the Russian empire in 1813, when Tsarist forces prised it away from Persia. Known locally as "Mountain Jews", they speak a dialect of the Farsi or Persian language spoken in Iran to the south. Some scholars believe that the first Mountain Jews, like members of many other Jewish communities, started to emigrate to a prospective homeland in what was then Ottoman-ruled Palestine as early as the 19th century. Rabbi Ovadia Isakov, the best-known contemporary Mountain Jewish rabbi, told Russian media that 300-400 families remained in Derbent.

I said please kill her because it would be better than being kidnapped,” Ovadia, 38, told CNN on Wednesday. He is one of many Israelis returning home from abroad as their country’s long-running conflict with Hamas escalates into a war not seen on this scale for a generation. But he abandoned those plans on Saturday when he learned of Hamas’ attack while in a mountain village in Nepal. Ilan FisherIlan Fisher, 29, is another Israeli expecting to be called up for reserve duty, he told CNN on Wednesday. “Being here is a lot more comforting than being away,” she told CNN.

☆ Israel deports Palestinian lawyer Salah Hamouri to France over security, interior ministry says

JERUSALEM, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Israel deported French-Palestinian human rights lawyer Salah Hamouri on Sunday, accusing him of security offenses against the state of Israel, the Israeli interior ministry said in a statement. Hamouri was escorted to the airpor early Sunday morning where he boarded a flight to France with his campaign saying there was no legal recourse for him to take. A statement from the Hamouri campaign called the deportation a "war crime" and said it constitutes a breach of international law. “Wherever a Palestinian goes, he takes with him these principles and the cause of his people: his homeland carried with him to wherever he ends up,” Hamouri said in a statement. Hamouri was most recently detained by Israel under administrative detention without charge on March 7 until Dec. 1 when Israel revoked his residency and stated he would be deported.
