Rushian/Georgian conflict escalates Georgian leader Saakashvili compares Georgians to Jews 11/01/2006 Mikhail Saakashvili, the president of Georgia, compared the recent actions taken by the Russian authorities against Georgians to tsarist decrees of the 18th century, when Jews were ordered to be expelled and deprived of property rights.

The President of Georgia was talking about the recent aggravation of relations between Moscow and Tbilisi and compared Georgia to Israel. “I know what it is to try to build your own nation when danger is knocking on the door,” said he.
