Israeli police have arrested a settler rabbi who co-authored a book outlining cases in which it is permissible to kill non-Jews, including babies, army radio reports.

"Anywhere where the influence of goys (non-Jews) constitutes a threat for the life of Israel it is permissible to kill them." - Quote

Yosef Elitzur, a resident of the hardline Yitzhar settlement in the northern West Bank, was arrested on suspicion of incitement to violence.

The book, "the King's Torah," written by Elitzur and another rabbi, claims that babies and children of Israel's enemy may be killed since "it is clear that they will grow to harm us," the Haaretz newspapers said.

It further said non-Jews are "uncompassionate by nature" and that attacks on them "curb their evil inclination."

"Anywhere where the influence of goys (non-Jews) constitutes a threat for the life of Israel it is permissible to kill them," the rabbis wrote.

The book, published earlier this year, has drawn sharp criticism from numerous rabbis who say it contradicts the teachings of Judaism.

Bigotry in any shape or form must be condemned.

Whats the hebrew word for ironic?

Don't want to get into a for or against argument, but people need to wake up and realise that the Palestinians aren't the only ones in the Middle East capable of harbouring blind hatred and evil stupidity.

No! Really?

No! Really?

Like there aren't any people (especially not on this forum) who support Israel and their actions blindly as if they are entirely innocent and incapable of wrong doing. Glad it's so obvious to you though.

We could say the same for those people who support Hamas and the Palestinians. Or those who support the ANC.. .etc, etc. What's your real point? or are you just on a mission to state the obvious today?

Well, the rabbi was arrested for inciting violence

Has that ever happened anywhere else in the middle east?

I'm sorry, was it more obvious than "Bigotry in any shape or form must be condemned"? Have a cup of coffee to perk you up. It's almost home time; no worries.

So you were agreeing with my comment on the article? That's funny... I could have sworn there was some baggage attached to that agreement... as there usually is.

Say what you mean and mean what you say. Don't be scared now.

Hebrew word for Ironic is 'Ironi' (ee' ron' ee)

Yikes! I'm sorry to say it, but it's actually quite amusing watching you argue with yourself. My point is picking either side in the Israel/Palestine conflict is equally moronic. There are no good guys. Just bad guys, victims and ostriches.

Let me guess, you started this thread to prove your impartiality but secretly hoped a Palestine supporter would condemn Israel so you could get on your high horse because the Israeli government is really the good guy in this scenario?

Sorry dude, I just think the Middle Eastern conflict is sad. It's not the spectator sport a lot of you seem to think it is for me.

Cue Za1 Defcon 5

No! Really?

Nick333, ignore Gravyhd, he likes to instigate with sarcastic snarky remarks.

As for the article, IIRC the Yitzhar were responsible for attacking those tourists some time back (it was caught on camera) I'm glad the Israelis are taking a hard line on them.

Ja but, would you say the average government supported Jewish settler is a lot less militant than this *******? I'm inclined to believe that he was arrested for being too vocal. Israel definitely has the better PR department.

Perfect example of never being able to do anything right - if they do something right its for PR reasons, if they do something wrong its cause they israeli and its in their genes

No, fair enough. The Israelis did something right and deserve credit but don't pull the race card on me. I'm equally against the general Palistinian attitude towards Israel. My point is why isn't the Israeli government pushing the settlers back into Israel and bull dosing their illegally built houses?

No really, don't put yourself down. You can also take part if you want... and if you think you are capable. Don't be scared.

Actually, I was hoping someone intelligent would respond... but I'll make do with what I got.

I don't get your point?
Are you saying that Israel shouldn't be supported for arresting this retard?
Or are you saying this retard represents the Government of Israel, which he cleary doesn't!

 

[Nick333]

No really, don't put yourself down. You can also take part if you want... and if you think you are capable. Don't be scared.

You have issues.
