""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"
Dov Lior, Rabbi of Kiryat Arba
"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!
