According to Gawker, USA Today, Israeli media, and other news publications, Jews in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk have been ordered by pro-Russian militants to register their identities and pay a tax. According to Gawker, "should Ukrainians of Jewish nationality fail to comply, they will lose their citizenship and be forced outside the country with a confiscation of property."
By signing this petition, you are agreeing with the assertion that it is not okay to treat Ukrainian Jews as such, and you would like to the United States to enact political pressure to end such treatment.
