“Of course, there has always been, is and will be antisemitism on the everyday level. The important thing is that it doesn't develop into what we saw in Makhachkala," Ben Zvi told The Associated Press in an online interview from Moscow."If all this is under control, I think there will be no problems."
Authorities in Dagestan said 17 people were convicted of petty hooliganism and of participating in an unauthorized mass event, neither of which is a criminal charge, sentencing 15 of them to short stints in jail, with the other two ordered to undertake correctional labor. After spending the night there, the passengers were flown — again by helicopter — to Mineralnye Vody, a city in the neighboring Stavropol region, and from there they traveled onward, he said.
