One of eight Russian-Israeli suspects, accused of belonging to a neo-Nazi cell responsible for attacks on gay men, the homeless and orthodox Jews, is seen during a court appearance in the central Israeli town of Ramle, last Sunday. In a case that would seem unthinkable in the Jewish state, police found Nazi uniforms and regalia when they raided the gang’s homes, together with videos the group made of violent attacks on same-sex couples and other minorities. Ironically, all the gang’s Russian-born members claimed ‘right of return’ to immigrate to Israel, as they had at least one Jewish grandparent.
