Settlement rabbi arrested on suspicion of incitement to racism

is a Jewish rendition of Mein Kampf?

We have killed Arabs in defence of our people and our nation. It is not only necessary, it is expected. Other than the small number of partisans, we did not kill in self-defence in Europe during WWII. Look what happened. The rabbi is only stating the obvious. We are a warrior nation and we survive.

Arrest folks to make headlines, knowing full well that they will never be prosecuted.

Is this Rabbi Yosef Elitzur looked upon as a source of moral guidance if so then the sentiments vioced by Eden Abergil are perhaps more understandable, no less repugnant of course. I'm just curious.

If non-Jews are to be killed according to the Jewish law, then Germans were right in ascribing death and genocide for opponents of the Third Reich.

What do you do when you are immersed from childhood in pre-medieval law which distinguishes between killing a Jew and killing a Gentile? While killing anybody is forbidden by Halakha, the murderer is punished by execution if he killed a Jew, but is only "punished by Heaven" if he killed a Noahide (e.g., a Muslim). Today you have rabbinic opinions that allow killing of Arabs, even innocents, that endanger Jewish control of the Land. They simply compare the importance of the various commandments and come to such conclusions. Rabin's assassination was also sanctioned by some according to Jewish law of "mosser". The settlers see no problem in burning down Arab crops, or uprooting their olive trees, just to get back at the IDF, and not for any wrong the Arabs committed. The Halakha was not updated much, certainly did not have a chance to evolve naturally under conditions of Jewish control over Gentiles. Since changes in it are extremely slow, it is best to override it wholesale, as was done in laws concerning financial issues, according to the ruling of "Dina d'malchuta dina", "the law of the land is valid." But I wonder how long it will take to also change the moral/ethical influence that goes with the outdated Halakha.

Israel's got a housing ministe who favours separate housing for Jews and Arabs. It's got a foreign minister who wants to kick Arabs out of Israel. It's got an interior minister who wants to deport goy kids to preserve Israel's Jewishness. it's got a Knesset that seems increasingly unhappy about having Arab MKs. But all that's legal? Hmmm.

Not only you are occupying people but you are also calling for them to be killed. This is worse than what the Nazis did to you. At least then you did not have the humiliation of having your whole mid-east country being stolen by european jewry

that's what the world needs... yet more religious "lawyers" peddling their interpretation of "The Law". NOT!!! Q: what do you call 500 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A: a good start.

Religious extremists are the biggest threat to true freedom, regardless of which faith they subscribe to. Israel should do to this man what they want every other country in the world to do to their extremists and hate-mongers.

What's wrong with killing someone that want's to kill you before they do it? And I thought jews were smart.

Why we have countless leaders calling for the removal and killing of us all?

Rabbi Yosef Elitzur was not "detained by police" - he was arrested and carried away. The Israeli police are waging a forceful and increasingly violent campaign against religious Jews, with the active support of the Courts of Aharon Barak and Dorit Beinish. They pointedly do NOT question the right of Jew-haters like Prof. Shternhell, Neve Gordon and other "academics" nor "artists" like Yigal Tomarkin to foment anti-Jewish hatred. Hypocrisy at work! The book in question does NOT promote the killing of anyone. It DOES however specify the theoretical pre-requisites needed in extreme circumstances before taking any such action. There are similar instructions in other contexts in many other countries intended for soldiers and policemen regarding opening fire with intent to kill and for doctors in harvesting organs from people who aren't dead yet. NONE of those writings result in arrests by the THOUGHT POLICE. Those who warned that Aharon Barak is a danger to democracy can now say "I told you". As for me, I told you.

hmmmmm.......

If you do not agree to this, then any war is illegitimate murder. The book is address when the "king' i.e. the country has the right to kill someone from an other nation. I doubt that Chaim has ever read the book.

anything they want. Perverts claim it, Christians claim it...everybody claims the Torah is behind them. That's why we have real Rabbinical leaders...who know all this stuff is trash...
