From the World Bulletin:
Ukrainian Rabbi Moshe Reuven Azman, called on Kiev's Jews to leave the city and even the country if possible, saying that the city's Jews may be victimized in the chaos, Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
"I told my congregation to leave the city center or the city all together and if possible the country too," Rabbi Azman told Maariv.
"I don't want to tempt fate," he added, "but there are constant warnings concerning intentions to attack Jewish institutions."
According to the paper's report Azman closed the Jewish community's schools but still holds three daily prayers. He said the Israeli embassy told members of the Jewish community to avoid leaving their homes.
Edward Dolinsky, head of the umbrella organization of Ukraine's Jews described the situation in Kiev as dire, telling Maariv "We contacted Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman requesting he assist us with securing the community."

As a Jew, one has to recognize, given current circumstances, there will soon be NO PLACE LEFT to flee.
Why do so many believe such a tormented and maligned people run the world while perpetually forced into diaspora?
My thoughts are better explained in a recent essay posted at Gates of Vienna by an Israeli contributor:
The Protocols of the Princes of Saudia Arabia
Most of this world is REALLY fucked up, isn't it?
And our president thinks WE are the ones out of line with the world
