15 August 2008, 11:08Congress of the Jewish Organizations compares Saakashvili to Nebuchadnezzar
Moscow, August 15, Interfax - Congress of the Jewish Religious Organizations and Associations in Russia believes, when Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili initiated military operations in South Ossetia, he committed the sin of Babylon king Nebuchadnezzar, whose army had destroyed Old Testament Temple in Israel.
The Congress' chair Rabbi Zinovy Kogan in his statement conveyed to Interfax reminds that approximately these days about two thousand and a half years ago "Nebuchadnezzar, obsessed by Satan, demolished Jerusalem temple and crowds of refugees went to the North."
"Thus the community and the oldest synagogue in Tskhinval was established 2600 years-old, the rabbi says. Nowadays Georgian President Saakashvili seized by Satan razed old Tskhinval to the ground."
As thousands years ago, blood was shed, people perished, Kogan's statement says.
"Saakashvili repeated the sin of Nebuchadnezzar, but now Christians, Muslims, Jews - children of Abraham seek salvation on the roads leading to North, to Russia. As 2600 years ago, the Lord urges people to give up hatred and calls those who are blind with anger for the insight," the rabbi said.
He stressed, today "Russians and Georgians should rather restore the bridges instead of cutting trenches no matter how hard it seems."
