Moscow – The head of a Russian Orthodox Church panel looking into the 1918 killing of Russia’s last czar and his family says his statement that it is investigating whether it was a ritual murder has no anti-Semitic connotations.

Father Tikhon Shevkunov said Thursday that he was only talking about the “ritual revenge of atheist Bolsheviks” and never implicated the Jews.
Earlier this week, he said many in the church panel are convinced that the killings were “ritual murder.” That drew an angry response from Russia’s largest Jewish group, which denounced the words as a revival of anti-Semitic myths.
Nicholas II and his family were executed by Bolsheviks in 1918. The speculation that they were killed by the Jews for ritual purposes long has been promoted by fringe anti-Semitic groups.
The face of 1000 years of official Tsarist antisemitism, now led by Tsar Pootin and his sycophant Trumpf. No wonder the Bolshevics overthrew the Tsarist garbage in 1918. And maybe again in 2018…
The Russian Orthodox Church has long violent antisemitic history. The latest accusation is the typical antisemitic church lie and has nothing to do with Putin. The Russian Church is inherently anti-Jewish
These people were the cause of bloody progroms in Russia and Europe where the leaders of the “peaceful” religion always managed to get their congregants to murder and plunder the Jews.
Yimach Sh’mom to all these anti semitic dogs !!!
Bishop Tikhon looks like Rausputin’s Gilgul !!!
