Alot of Jewish Friends

Via Frontpage:

MOSCOW - A group of nationalist Russian lawmakers called Monday for a sweeping investigation aimed at outlawing all Jewish organizations and punishing officials who support them, accusing Jews of fomenting ethnic hatred and saying they provoke anti-Semitism.

In a letter dated Jan. 13, about 20 members of the lower house of parliament, the State Duma, asked Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov to investigate their claims and to launch proceedings “on the prohibition in our country of all religious and ethnic Jewish organizations as extremist.�

The letter, faxed in part to The Associated Press by the office of lawmaker Alexander Krutov, said, "The negative assessments by Russian patriots of the qualities and actions against non-Jews that are typical of Jews correspond to the truth ... The statements and publications against Jews that have incriminated patriots are self-defense, which is not always stylistically correct but is justified in essence."
...
“It is possible to say that the entire democratic world today is under the monetary and political control of international Judaism, which high-profile bankers are openly proud of,� the letter says.

Along with outlawing Jewish organizations, the lawmakers call for the prosecution of “individuals responsible for providing these groups with state and municipal property, privileges and state financing.�

UPDATE: Apparently the blood libel has been "withdrawn".

UPDATE: Following a tip from Ivan, we find this:

Proust was half Jewish. Dorothy Parker was half Jewish. Frida Kahlo was half Jewish. Paul Newman and Robert de Niro are half Jewish. Walter Mosley is half Jewish and half black. Adrienne Rich is half Jewish but solved it by identifying as Lesbian. Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leading Russian right winger, is half Jewish (and clearly crazy); Grigory Yavlinsky, the leading Russian liberal, is half Jewish. From my perspective, (am I the only person who has realized this?) anybody with one Jewish parent is half Jewish. Most half-Jews don't realize it: we are invisible even to ourselves...
