Anti-Semitic Flier in Eastern Ukraine Denounced as Provocation 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
Masked men in Donetsk reportedly handed out fliers to Jewish people this
week calling for them to register and pay a fee of $50. While the
leaflets purported to be from a pro-Russian leader, the group has denied
any involvement. Secretary of State John Kerry condemned the fliers.

Secretary of State John Kerry: "In the year 2014, after all of the miles
travelled and all of the journey of history, this is not just
intolerable, it's grotesque, it is beyond unacceptable."

The pro-Russian separatists have denounced the fliers as a provocation,
and the supposed order has not been enforced.
