We remind you that a week ago a crowd entered the Makhachkala airport and “searched for Jews” who were supposed to arrive on a flight from Israel. The men broke down doors in the airport area, and the men also stopped vehicles leaving the airport and checked passports.
And a few days ago, Italian neo-fascists were detained at Athens airport.
