Prominent Israeli Rabbis Urge Jews Not to Sell Or Rent To Non-Jews.

Chief Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu: Don't Sell Or Rent To Arabs!!!
By Aitken MacleanA group of 18 prominent rabbis, including the chief rabbi of Safed, Shmuel Eliyahu, signed a call urging Jews not to sell or rent apartments to non-Jews.  Haaretz reports that a majority of the signatories are from Safed, a city whose Arab student population is growing.
Shmuel Eliyahu has been criticized in the past for offensive remarks against Arabs, such as calling on the government of Israel to publicly hang the “children” of accused Arabs in effort to achieve deterence.  He also called on the Academic College to expel its Arab students.  “You can say the word ‘racist’ 20 times,” Eliyahu once told an interviewer. “It doesn’t have an effect on me. By the way, Jewish religious law prohibits the selling of apartments to Arabs and the renting of apartments to Arabs.”Last week, Safed hosted an “emergency conference” under the banner “Quiet War: Combating Assimilation in the Holy City of Safed”.   This conferrence—funded by the city’s religious council—was held at the Yigal Allon House (the municipal cultural center),  attracting 400 participants, including Baruch Marzel, and a representative of the “Lahaba” organization, whose Hebrew acronym stands for “Prevention of Assimilation in the Holy Land.”
The rabbis’ letter urges Jewish property owners not to rent to Arabs because it would deflate the value of their homes as well as those in the neighborhood. “Their way of life is different than that of Jews,” the letter stated. “Among [the gentiles] are those who are bitter and hateful toward us and who meddle into our lives to the point where they are a danger.”   The rabbis also urge neighbors of anyone renting or selling property to Arabs to caution that person. After delivering the warning, the neighbor is then encouraged to issue notices to the general public and inform the community. “The neighbors and acquaintances [of a Jew who sells or rents to an Arab] must distance themselves from the Jew, refrain from doing business with him, deny him the right to read from the Torah, and similarly [ostracize] him until he goes back on this harmful deed,” the letter reads.

I posted this article  to shed light upon the differences in Jewish thought.  On one hand, you have these Jews in Israel who recognize that nationalism and racialism equates to survival.  On the other hand, you have these whiny Jews in the United States, Canada and Europe, such as the Jewish Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, who denounce all non-Jewish nationalists as evil bigots.  I was somewhat surprised to read that the ADL recently condemned Rabbi Ovadia Yosef for his incendiary comments about Gentiles.  But then, the ADL spends virtually no energy condemning Jewish supremacists: doing so would result in a fatal loss of donations.  Yosef was just a token for the ADL.  The ADL  focuses almost entirely upon White Gentiles (the masterminds of much demonized Holocaust™).   There’s no market for Jews condemning Jewish supremacists, but there’s an limitless market for Jews condemning White people who possess a fraction of racial consciousness of the Jewish people.
If you don’t see the nuances, try to imgine the Jewish reaction if prominent members of the Christian community in America issued a call for White property owners not to sell or rent to blacks, because it would drive down the property value and allow them to “take over.”     Enough said.
