Former chief rabbi warns Bush against 'activity that would harm Israel'
By Nadav Shragai, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Chief rabbi 

Former Sephardi chief rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu warned U.S. President George W. Bush in a circular against "activity that would harm Israel."

Eliyahu explains in the circular, "The Jewish people will remember forever all those who do it harm."

Eliyahu addressed Bush as "a man who believes in the Bible," and quoted a biblical promise to give the Land of Israel to the People of Israel.

"Plans being published today counter God's word. They include giving the place of the Temple to those who use the Lord's name in vain as they kill women and children," Eliyahu wrote.

Eliyahu closes the circular by asking Bush to utilize his visit here "to strengthen the Jewish people and act to remove the threat on Sderot."
