Kiev Rabbi Attacked on Street (Hatzalah Chief Beaten By Slur-Shouting Assailants)

..............................................................................................
The Daily FORWARD ^ | March 14, 2014

The men assaulted Rabbi Hillel Cohen, who runs the Ukrainian branch of the Hatzalah emergency services organization, on Thursday on the street, his wife, Racheli Cohen, told JTA. “They struck him in the leg, shouting anti-Semitic slurs, calling him a ‘zyhd,’ she said, using the Ukrainian word for”kike.”Cohen suffering from injuries was treated in hospital and is recovering at his home in Kiev. Last month Hillel Cohen told JTA that he believed the Ukrainian revolution increased the risk of anti-Semitic attacks.

“Things began getting really uncomfortable when the rioters started setting up spontaneous roadblocks to keep police and army troops from reaching the action zone,” he said. “It was very uneasy, being pulled over in a car full of Orthodox Jews by club-wielding Cossacks.”

In January, a religious Hebrew teacher was assaulted outside his Kiev home by four men, but escaped without serious injury. Later that month a rabbinical student was stabbed by three men while returning from synagogue, sustaining moderate to serious injuries.

Earlier this week, vandals removed part of the fence around the Jewish cemetery of Kolomyia in western Ukraine, according to a report by the HTK television channel.

In February, a synagogue in Zaporizhia in eastern Ukraine was hit with firebombs.

Another synagogue in the Crimean Peninsula was daubed with graffiti reading: “Death to the Jews” several days later. Yanukovych fled last month to Russia. The Kremlin has said that the revolution was being carried out by anti-Semites and neo-Nazis and on Thursday accused the West of condoning for political dividends the xenophobic characteristics of the ultra-nationalist and anti-Russian Svoboda party, which had a prominent role in the revolution.
