Minister of Aliyah Absorption Sofa Landver (Israel Our Home) said Tuesday that “the witch hunt around the immigrant community from the CIS as a result of the police's solving the Oshrenko murders is no more than racism, which has no place in Israeli society in the 2000s."
Min. Landver said “various elements” in the political and media world were trying to deflect the debate in a way that besmirched the Russian speaking immigrants.
