Belarus: President pans Minsk governor for not taking Jews 'under control'
Two remarks. Europeans love to poke fun at Jews - they are much more careful with Muslims. The number of Jews living in Belarus is ridiculous: "0.14 percent of Belarus's 9.5 million population".
The Jerusalem Post reports:
Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko criticized on Wednesday a
Jewish regional governor in Belarus for not taking the country's Jewish
population "under control" as he had ordered.
In a state-of-the-nation address, Lukashenko expressed annoyance that a popular online publication, which has a Jewish director, had criticized his decree imposing a tax on people who worked fewer than 183 days a year.
Addressing the Minsk region governor Semyon Shapiro by name, Lukashenko said the head of the tut.by website, Yuri Zisser, was "not behaving correctly".
"I told you a year ago to take all the Jews of Belarus under control," said the president, a leader who often ruffles feathers with his impromptu comments.
A 2009 census said Jews made up 0.14 percent of Belarus's 9.5 million population.
Having admonished Shapiro, Lukashenko, who has ruled the small ex-Soviet country with an iron fist since 1994, then poked fun at him, crediting his religious fervor with producing a favorable rainfall in the region. "Shapiro prayed in the synagogue. There was rain only in Minsk region. Semyon Borisovich (Shapiro) is a good guy," Lukashenko said.
Returning to the theme at the end of a three-hour summary of the economy and Belarus's international standing, he praised the Jewish population for its role in resistance to Nazi occupation during World War Two, when an estimated 800,000 local Jews died.
He went on to describe the Jews as being "white boned" meaning they did not like to do menial work. "They don't like to get their hands dirty or fight, but they did get their hands dirty with us!"

Belarus: Town discovers its built of hundreds of Jewish gravestones
A small town in Belarus has discovered hundreds of old Jewish gravestones lining the very foundations of its buildings and streets, Vice Magazine reported over the weekend.
Recent demolition work to make way for a new supermarket in the town of Brest, near the Polish border, revealed over 450 gravestones inside the foundations of homes, the report said. Around fifteen hundred gravestones have been found in the town’s houses, pavements, roads and gardens over the past six years, with more being discovered every day.
The chilling phenomenon is apparently the result of a Russian communist practice in the 1950s, that of recycling Jewish headstones from communities decimated by the Nazis for construction materials.

Belarus: Calendar features antisemitic quote for International Holocaust Remembrance Day
A youth calendar published by the Pobeda Publishing House features a quote from a 2009 speech by Ahmadinejad in which he said that "The pretext (Holocaust) for the creation of the Zionist regime (Israel) is false ... It is a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim." The quote appears for the page of January 27 - International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Pobeda says the quote is a mistake and that they'll republish the page.
