The article says: "The oligarchs such as Khodorkovsky and Berezovsky and other prominent Russian Families of Jewish ethnicity such as the Vicefield/Litvinoffs, have all had alleged links with the Russian Mafia. Their connections with the state of Israel are extensive." Can anyone prove this? Sounds like speculation with anti-semitic undertones. 

 ==Sources?== 

 This article contains a lot of allegations concerning ethnic/religious backgrounds and very few sources to back up the claims.  
 What is the source of the obscure "estimate" that the Russian Mafia put $4 billion dollars into the Israeli economy? 
 And how is "Jewish predominance" within the Russian Mafia defined? It would be better to mark these passages as speculations since these claims can obviously not be substantiated. 

 The whole of idea of Jews in organized crime is preposterous and ludicrous. There is no such thing. I should know. Meyer Lansky, Miami, Florida. 

 == Anti-Semitism? == 

 I agree that this article needs reviewing, but to claim that it is anti-semitic is jumping the gun. 

 To claim that there are no Jews in organised crime is also ludicrous. Are we to believe, that of the whole Russian Mafia organisation, there is not one single Russian Jew involved?  

 For you to request sources from the writer of this article, and then claim that there are no Jews in organised crime without any evidence whatsoever is hypocritical at best. 

 Maybe you should look past the end of your nose at the bigger picture before making such serious accusations.
