Good to know it’s just normal Indian inter-ethnic nonsense in Manipur, not specifically related to Jew hate and the October 7 Hamas war.
[IsraelTimes] Crossed wires during a Knesset committee meeting may have led to a misunderstanding, say community leaders, stressing that their situation is dire enough without exaggerating it.Members of the Bnei Menashe Jewish community are rejecting an Israeli parliamentary report that a missile strike in northeast India killed seven community members this week. The news spread rapidly on Tuesday after Israel’s Knesset Committee for Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs put out a blurb announcing the deaths, following a meeting about potentially jumpstarting efforts by the Bnei Menashe to move to Israel amid ethnic tensions in the Manipur region of India. It cited Tzvi Khaute, director of the Bnei Menashe in Israel for the nonprofit Shavei Israel, as saying that the community urgently needed permission to immigrate, or make aliyah, and that it had "buried seven people who were killed as a result of a bomb falling next to the synagogue."
But Khaute did not make that comment in a video of the hearing reviewed by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. A Bnei Menashe member in India offered a different account of violence near a local synagogue. And the information about the deaths was false, the Bnei Menashe Council in India said in a blurb Wednesday.
