I saw it, plus there’s quasi-official statements from Russian law enforcement that the whole pogrom was “coordinated from Ukraine”.
But what does it change, even if true? IMHO nothing:
anti-semitic incidents happened over the weekend in other North Caucasus republics Karachaevo-Cherkessia (marches) and Kabardino-Balkaria (Molotov’s cocktails thrown at a synagogue in construction)
the airplane indeed came from Tel Aviv
the crowd actually stormed the airport willing to attack Jews who would be - logically - coming on the flight
Interestingly, North Caucasus has it’s own indigenous Jewish population called Mountain Jews, and it’s generally very multi-ethnic due to its complicated history.
The anti-semitic incidents on such a large scale started only after #Hamas attack on Israel followed by Moscow taking side of Hamas and unrolling an anti-semitic campaign in state media. Their support on Hamas by the way is on its own quite absurd, because during and long after the Second Chechen War #Russia FSB consistently demonized Muslims and prosecuted them mercilessly, consistently calling them “Wahhabis”.
Blaming this on Ponomaryev alone is just an excuse. Of course they won’t admit it’s their own propaganda that triggered the attacks, because they never do…
