A pro-Palestine mob stormed into the major airport of Dagestan, a Muslim-majority republic within the Russian Federation, trying to hunt down Jewish passengers from a plane that flew in from Tel Aviv, Israel on Sunday.
Video footage of the event captures the crowd rushing through the airport, asking attendants where they can find the landed plane. Attendants are seen directing the people away from certain rooms, telling them it was the wrong way.

The mob continued onto the tarmac to surround the plane, operated by Russian-owned company Red Wings. In response, the authorities shut down the airport, which is located in Dagestan’s capital city Makhachkala.
The crowd chanted “Allahu Akbar!” (“God is great”) and waved Palestinian flags as they ran through the terminals and searched the outside area. They also allegedly held signs that read “Child killers are not welcome in Dagestan” and “We’re against Jewish refugees.”
According to Dagestan’s Ministry of Health, over 20 people were injured and two are in critical condition, including police officers along with civilians. About 60 people were detained but it is not clear if any charges were made. Over 150 active participants were identified.

A lynch mob of men reportedly formed outside a hotel where they believed a Jewish man was staying.
A Jewish man checked into the Flamingo Hotel in Khasavyurt, Dagestan in Russia today.
Quickly a crowd gathered in front of the hotel and started shouting:
"Show your face, or we will come into the hotel and pull you out of there!”

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) confusingly decided to reveal his ignorance in geopolitics, a subject he often offers opinions on, by saying he had “never heard of Dagestan until now.”
Never heard of Dagestan until now but apparently it’s a Jew hating hell hole.

“The actions of those who gathered at the Makhachkala airport today are a gross violation of the law! […] What happened at our airport is outrageous and should receive an appropriate assessment from law enforcement agencies! And this will definitely be done!” the Supreme Mufti of Dagestan, Sheikh Akhmad Afandi, wrote on Telegram. On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin called for a meeting of top security and police officials in response to the riot.
UPDATE: More than 80 people involved in the mob riot had been detained by the Russian government as of Oct. 31. Five individuals received six to 10 weeks in jail. A criminal probe has been launched with the potential for some individuals to be charged with “mass rioting,” which is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
