Amid ongoing condemnation of Israeli Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot, who last month publicly declared “I don’t want a soldier to empty a magazine on a girl with scissors,” Israel’s chief Sepherdic Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef urged soldiers to ignore the Army Chief’s orders, as well as court rulings, and just kill any “armed Palestinians” they find.
Yosef argued that it was a religious imperative for all Jews to kill armed enemies and to be unconcerned with the rulings of the High Court or other officials, urging that the killings would serve as a deterrent.
Yosef’s comments came amid a sermon on whether or not it is permissible to kill Amalekites on the Sabbath. Amalekites are an enemy of the Hebrews from the Old Testament, though there exists no archaeological evidence they ever actually existed. The book of Deuteronomy admonishes Jews to exterminate all Amalekites.
Oddly, Yosef insisted it was impossible to know who is or isn’t an Amalekite, and thus urged those Israel “isn’t sure” about to be put in prison for life,, pending the return of the Messiah, who can decide if he is or isn’t Amalekite, “and then we can kill them.” This stood in stark contrast to his admonishment that the military kill people.
What a guy! Israel’s next prime minister I imagine.
The current Prime Minister is already like him.
Obviously this guy must have been living under a rock, the killing of
Palestinians armed or unarmed has been going on for years unabated.
with large zest, zeal and enthusiasm I might add.
The ultra orthodox are israel’s worst enemy.
A juden $cum, admonishes the most moral fcuking army, like they even need such an admonishment.
And Hitler was bad because ???????????/
Palestine DENIERS are Christ DENIERS.
Israel is attempting to create a MYTH that the Palestinians “do not exist”
That is called “dehumanizing prior to exterminating”
The PALESTINIANS are the descendants of HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS.
HOLOCAUST by ISRAEL.
The Canaanites/Amorites/Philistines/Midianites/PALESTINIANS were in PALESTINE long before Israel was even thought of.
The PALESTINIAN’s ancestors were there when ABRAHAM passed through from Babylon/Ur ……Israel’s “claim” to Palestine is based entirely on War Crimes and GENOCIDE.
Israel also DENIES Jesus Christ.
WHEN Israel acknowledges HIM at all
Israel calls Jesus “the BASTARD of a Roman soldier and Mary, a PROSTITUTE”
Israel claims that JESUS is in HELL, boiling in excrement.
Israel is a HUMANITY DENIER.
Actually PSEUDOchristian-zionists are worse because they are TRAITORS, betrayers of CHRIST and of HIS Followers.
Religious extremists are all the same.
Very true! Now the neoCON Zionists want Trumps scalp for saying he would try to be an honest broker for peace instead of a mindless shill for Israel like the others running for President. No one wants to see Israel destroyed; but, I think most Americans would love to see peace.
What part of looney tunes don’t they understand?
Who does he give the ultimate right to arbitrarily call someone an Amalekite?
Obviously, people who are like him. You might as well call someone a unicorn, another non-existent thing that is in the Bible. It would have been better if this old geezer had never learned to read than that he should so abuse the Good Book!
And only Antiwar reports this. While the entire world is talking of ISIS condoms, no one will ever hear about this bearded bastard.
What an anti-Semitic piece of crap!
hey rabbi, how about we just kill armed israelis, who kill babies, young children, and women
