Jews in danger inside Georgia too

Yes, there are some people from Israel caught in the crossfire, and even locally born Jews too:
(IsraelNN.com) As the Russian offensive against Georgia rages on, 40 Israeli teachers are trying to make their way out of Georgia, via Turkey or Armenia, and some 50 Jews have requested to make Aliyah (immigration to Israel).A factory run by Israeli investors was also bombed by Russia's army of darkness. With this declaration of war, I'd say Vladimir Putin has fully shed the mask and shown that he is as bad as the Leninists who came before him.
The 40 teachers arrived in Georgia's capital city of Tbilisi on Friday in the framework of a vacation trip organized by the Histadrut Teachers Union. Upon landing, however, they abruptly found themselves in the middle of a war zone, with no way to leave. Arkia, the Israeli airline that flew them in, has already announced the cancellation of its next flight from Tbilisi to Israel, this coming Friday, because of the war situation.
