- "So I believe that I act in the spirit of the Almighty
God. By defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of
the Lord." - Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, 1924

- "A thousand non-Jewish lives are not worth a Jew's fingernail"

- "We will carry out a greater holocaust against the
Palestinians," - Matan Vilnai, Deputy Defense Minister, 1 March,
2006
-
- Ovadia Yosef, the spiritual leader of the ultra-orthodox
Shas party, which represents Jews from the Middle East, has urged Jews
around the world to pray for Israeli soldiers, not only on the
Jewish Sabbath, Saturday, but also on Mondays and Thursdays.
-
- According to the Israeli newspaper, Ha'aretz, Yosef told
his followers that Israeli soldiers need to be blessed by the Almighty
for killing and maiming hundreds of Palestinians, mostly innocent civilians,
in the past few days.
-
- "Had it not been for them, would we have time to
study the Torah? To turn the books," Yosef was quoted as
saying Saturday night during his weekly sermon in Jerusalem.
-
- It is really lamentable that Yosef thinks that it is
only through murder and genocide of Palestinians that Jews can
sit down and study the Torah.
-
- Jews, after all, have been studying the Torah for
many centuries without "Jewish soldiers" engaging themselves
in mass murder, mass terror and mass oppression. Does the rabbi think that
linking Torah studies to mass murder in Gaza brings honor to
the Torah and to Judaism?
-
- Yosef, who on several occasions called Palestinians "rats," is
considered by many in Israel as one of the greatest living sages of the
Torah. However, his enthusiastic support for ethnic cleansing
and genocide against the Palestinians caricatures a sinister man who quotes ancient
texts to justify every conceivable crime against humanity and every
abomination against God and man.
-
- Yosef is not unaware of the Nazi-like atrocities the soldiers
he is blessing have committed and are committing in Gaza.
-
- He knows too well that an army that murders
innocent civilians, including babies in their mothers' laps, is not an
army of righteous soldiers, but rather an army of thugs and criminals,
not unlike the Gestapo and SS and wehrmacht.
-
- I understand that some Zionist rabbis tend to believe
in the horrible idea that in war time, there is no such a thing as "innocent
civilians of the enemy." In other words, "All's fair in love
and war."
-
- But this is a stunningly immoral concept that
degrades man to cannibalistic savagery. Because then every mass murderer
from Adolph Hitler, to Joseph Stalin, to Ariel Sharon, to Ehud Olmert and
Ehud Barak could justify the mass murder of civilians on the
ground that in wartime, no holds are barred. Indeed, this would be the
most comfortable justification for all the holocausts,
genocides, pogroms and inquisitions in the world since Adam and Eve.
-
- Well, I really wonder how these rabbis of evil, people
such Yosef, Dov Lior, David Batsri, and many many others, would
react if a Nazi apologist argued that the mass killings of Jews during
the holocaust was a perfectly justified and legitimate act "since
we viewed European Jewry as our number-1 enemy, and we were at war, and
in wartime there is no such a thing as innocent civilians of the enemy."
-
- Now, what is the difference between a rabbi praying for
and blessing an army that has just murdered and maimed hundreds of innocent
people in Gaza , and a German Nazi priest praying for and blessed
Nazi killers who had just carried out one of those pacification raids
in central or Eastern Europe?
-
- Does the rabbi think that a holocaust by Jews is kosher?
Does he think that non-Jewish children and women and men are un-human,
or lesser humans? What kind of Torah is he studying? What kind of God is
he praying to? Does he think that the Torah prohibition against
murder covers only "Jews"?
-
- Rabbi Yosef is more than just an unenlightened old man;
he is actually an evil man. He is evil because in the name of the Torah
and in the name of Judaism, he tries to make evil look good, ugliness look
fair and cardinal sins against God and man look as great acts of charity.
-
- It is really hypocritical that while many Zionists don't
stop denouncing Catholic religious leaders for supporting the
Third Reich and for keeping silent in the face of the Holocaust,
rabbis, even prominent rabbis, such as Yosef, are more of less indulging
in the same evil behavior they are denouncing.
-
- Yosef may be a learned man in matter of Jewish theology.
But he seems to be a dwarf in understanding the moral messages of the Torah.
Because if he were truly faithful to the true spirit of Judaism,
he should realize that murdering innocent people-non-Jews as well as Jews-
is the greatest crime under the sun.
-
- Doesn't he read "Thou Shall not murder"? Doesn't
he read "thou shall not oppress?" Is this his way of making "Tikkun
Ha'olam," or fixing the world, by blessing and encouraging child killers
and mass murderers?
-
- It is sad how men of religion who think they are hallowing
the name of God are actually doing Satan's work.
-
- And we wonder why the world is in such a mess!
