Chisinau, Republic of Moldova - Using hammers and iron bars, Moldovan patriots smashed a Hanukkah menorah while police looked on approvingly in Moldova's capital of Chisinau on December 13, 2009, the same day the Obama White House bowed before the anti-Christ Hanukkah image (Moldova is located in Eastern Europe, between Romania and Ukraine).

Led by a Christian priest of the Orthodox Church, identified as Fr. Anatoly Chirbik, the 100-strong patriotic demonstrators gathered at Stefan The Great Square where the giant menorah was erected next to the statue of the Christian ruler and military genius Stefan the Great (1432-1504). The police said they tried without success to convince the Christians not to pull the Menorah out adding that they didn't want to oppress the Christians.

Standing in front of the object of offense, Fr. Chirbik cried out: "We're an Orthodox Christian country. Placing a Jewish symbol next to the statue of Stephen the Great is an offense. Stephan the Great defended our country from all kinds of Jews and now they come and put their menorah right in the middle of our square. This is sacrilege!"

Lifting the Moldovan flag and displaying it to the television news cameras, Fr. Chirbik added, "The Cross here on our flag is our symbol. We will protect our nation with the holy Cross! No Jew will oppress us in our own nation!"

The patriots proceeded to uproot the menorah and replaced it with the Cross. They dumped the menorah behind a statue of the national hero King Stefan. On hearing this news, Christians throughout Moldova and Romania felt a deep sense of relief in seeing brave Christian patriots having the guts to finally take action against Jewry's cultural intrusion.

Jewish group denounces uprooting of Hanukkah menorah in Moldova's capital

NEW YORK (EJP)---The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) urged the government of Moldova and the leadership of the Orthodox Church to punish those responsible for uprooting a Hanukkah menorah on a main public square in Chsisinau, Moldova's capital, and replacing it with an Orthodox cross.

A video showed an Orthodox priest, identified by the Moldovan media as Fr. Anatoliy Chirbik, leading a demonstration of about 100 people Sunday at Stefan the Great Square and saying: "We are an Orthodox country. Stephan the Great defended our country from all kinds of kikes, and now they come and put their menorah here. This is anarchy."

The priest and demonstrators then uprooted the menorah and dumped it behind a statue of Moldovan national hero King Stefan the Great.

"The Moldovan government and the Orthodox Church must punish the perpetrators of this despicable anti-Semitic crime and send a clear signal to Moldovan society and to the Jewish community that the government and the church will not tolerate anti-Semitism," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL's national director.

In a letter to Moldova's Ambassador to the United States, Nicolae Chirtoaca, called on his government "to apprehend and punish the perpetrators of this anti-Semitic crime."

The League said it was particularly shocked at reports that 15 to 20 police officers were at the site during the protest, but did little to intervene.

ADL also expressed disappointment with the official statement from leaders of the Moldovan Orthodox Church, who called the attack "a sad event."

"The church needs to make clear that this sort of behavior is unacceptable, and should take action to punish any church officials who were involved in organizing the demonstration, including Fr. Chirbik," Foxman said.

Moldova''s Justice Minister Alexandru Tenase was quoted by Publik TV as saying the government would not tolerate the desecration of religious objects and "will apply the harshest penalties to discourage anyone attempting similar actions."

The Hanukkah menorah, which was erected by members of the local Jewish community, was reinstalled and is now under police protection.
