Comment by sott.net: Damning new evidence came to light last month that clearly implicates the Blair government in covering-up the murder of British scientist Dr. David Kelly. And this month it was announced that the UK's Attorney General would investigate a dossier submitted by a former KGB agent, now resident in the UK, detailing how the scientist was "exterminated in a planned assassination."
So can we expect the British government to overturn the 70 year timelock it placed on files related to Kelly's postmortem? Unlikely. When SOTT.net pulled on the threads related to his murder several years ago, it unravelled a series of connections that made plain why this man had to be silenced and why his murder had to be covered up.
With the new British government acknowledging that the case is far from closed, it seems timely to revisit the dark activities unearthed by Kelly's death.
Israel is working on a biological weapon that would harm Arabs but not Jews, according to Israeli military and western intelligence sources. The weapon, targeting victims by ethnic origin, is seen as Israel's response to Iraq's threat of chemical and biological attacks.
A scientist there said the task was hugely complicated because both Arabs and Jews are of Semitic origin. But he added: "They have, however, succeeded in pinpointing a particular characteristic in the genetic profile of certain Arab communities, particularly the Iraqi people."Read More...
"The attacks on New York and Washington were an Israeli-engineered attempt at a coup against the government of the United States"
General Hamid Gul
General Hameed Gul was director general of the Pakistani Intelligence Services ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) and a close ally of America, working hand in hand with the American CIA. Gul was also a great supporter of the "American Way Of Life" and Western democracy. General Gul turned against America for betrayal and countless broken promises.
He is, "still today very influential in Pakistan" according to the German daily DIE WELT (Sep. 28, 2001, p. 7).
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan -- The retired Pakistani general who is closest to the Taliban and Osama bin Laden contends the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington were the work of renegade U.S. Air Force elements working with the Israelis. Gen. Hameed Gul led Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence during the war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Gul serves as an adviser to Pakistan's extremist religious political parties, which oppose their government's decision to support the United States in any action against Afghanistan's Taliban regime. Gul contends bin Laden had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, saying instead that they were the work of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service -- a version of events that has been endorsed by Islamic fundamentalist clerics and is widely accepted by Muslims throughout the Arab world.
Here is the transcript of the exclusive interview Gul gave to Arnaud de Borchgrave, United Press International editor at large:NEWSWEEK WEB EXCLUSIVE, Sep. 14, 2001
Transcript: UPI United Press International, Sep. 26, 2001 interviews General Gul
"The attacks against the twin towers started at 8:45 a.m. and four flights are diverted from their assigned air space and no air traffic controller sounds the alarm. And no Air Force jets scramble until 10 a.m. That also smacks of a small scale Air Force rebellion, a coup against the Pentagon perhaps? Radars are jammed, transponders fail. No IFF -- friend or foe identification -- challenge. In Pakistan, if there is no response to IFF, jets are instantly scrambled and the aircraft is shot down with no further questions asked. This was clearly an inside job. Bush was afraid and rushed to the shelter of a nuclear bunker. He clearly feared a nuclear situation. Who could that have been? Will that also be hushed up in the investigation, like the Warren report after the Kennedy assassination?"
De Borchgrave: So who did Black Sept. 11?
Gul: Mossad and its accomplices. The U.S. spends $40 billion a year on its 11 intelligence agencies. That's $400 billion in 10 years. Yet the Bush Administration says it was taken by surprise. I don't believe it. Within 10 minutes of the second twin tower being hit in the World Trade Center CNN said Osama bin Laden had done it. That was a planned piece of disinformation by the real perpetrators. It created an instant mindset and put public opinion into a trance, which prevented even intelligent people from thinking for themselves.
Q: So you're already convinced bin Laden didn't do it?
A: I know bin Laden and his associates. I've been with them here, in Europe and the Middle East. They are graduates of the best universities and are highly intelligent with impressive degrees and speak impeccable English. These are people who have rediscovered fundamental Islamic values. Many come from the Gulf countries where ruling royal families have generated hatred by the way they flout divine law, wasting billions on gratifying their whims, jetting around in large private jets by themselves, and sailing the Mediterranean in big private boats for weeks on end. Osama's best recruits come from feudal areas that are U.S. protectorates and where millions of poor people are seeking human dignity. I have even visited a Christian convent school in Murree, 60 miles from here, where my 13-year-old daughter is studying. The young girls there have told me Osama is their hero. Osama's followers identify with Mujahideen freedom fighters wherever they are defending Islam and its values.
Q:So what makes you think Osama wasn't behind Sept. 11?
A: From a cave inside a mountain or a peasant's hovel? Let's be serious. Osama inspires countless millions by standing up for Islam against American and Israeli imperialism. He doesn't have the means for such a sophisticated operation.
Q:Why Mossad?
A: Mossad and its American associates are the obvious culprits. Who benefits from the crime? The attacks against the twin towers started at 8:45 a.m. and four flights are diverted from their assigned air space and no air traffic controller sounds the alarm. And no Air Force jets scramble until 10 a.m. That also smacks of a small scale Air Force rebellion, a coup against the Pentagon perhaps? Radars are jammed, transponders fail. No IFF -- friend or foe identification -- challenge. In Pakistan, if there is no response to IFF, jets are instantly scrambled and the aircraft is shot down with no further questions asked. This was clearly an inside job. Bush was afraid and rushed to the shelter of a nuclear bunker. He clearly feared a nuclear situation. Who could that have been? Will that also be hushed up in the investigation, like the Warren report after the Kennedy assassination?
Q:At this point, someone might be asking what you've been smoking. What is Israel's interest in such a monstrous plot, which, of course, no one believes except Islamist extremists who concocted this piece of disinformation in the first place, presumably to detract from the real culprits?
A: Jews never agreed to Bush 41 (George H.W. Bush, the 41st president) or 43 (his son George W. Bush, the 43rd president). They made sure Bush senior didn't get a second term. His land-for-peace pressure in Palestine didn't suit Israel. They were also against the young Bush because he was considered too close to oil interests and the Gulf countries. Bush senior and Jim Baker had raised $150 million for Bush junior, much of it from Mideast sources or their American go-betweens. Bush 41 and Baker, as private citizens, had also facilitated the new strategic relationship between Saudi Arabia and Iran. I have this from sources in both countries. So clearly the prospect of a Bush 43 was a potential danger to Israel.
Jews were stunned by the way Bush stole the election in Florida. They had put big money on Al Gore. Israel has given its imperialist guardian parent opportunities to turn disaster into a pretext for imposing an all-encompassing military, political and economic agenda to further the cause of global capitalism. While Colin Powell is cautious and others are reckless and want to make up for their failure to defeat Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War 10 years ago, the global agenda is the same.
Israel knows it has a short shelf-life before it is overwhelmed by demographics. It is a state that was born in terrorism that terrorized Palestinians into the exile of refugee camps, where they have now subsisted in squalid refugee camps, and is now very much afraid of Pakistan's nuclear capability.
Israel has now handed the Bush family the opportunity it has been waiting for to consolidate America's imperial grip on the Gulf and acquire control of the Caspian basin by extending its military presence in Central Asia. Bush conveniently overlooks -- or is not told -- the fact that Islamic fundamentalists got their big boost in the modern age as CIA assets in the covert campaign I was also involved with to force the Soviets out of Afghanistan. Bush senior was vice president during that entire campaign. And no sooner did he become president on Jan. 20, 1989, than he summoned an inter-agency intelligence meeting and issued an order, among several others, to clip the wings of ISI (Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence) that had been coordinating the entire operation in Afghanistan. I know this firsthand as I was DGISI at the time (director general, ISI).
Q:So how do you read U.S. strategy in Pakistan?
A: The destabilization of Pakistan is part of the U.S. plan because it is a Muslim nuclear state. The U.S. wants to isolate Pakistan from China as part of its containment policy. President Nixon's book "The Real War" said China would be the superpower of the 21st Century. The U.S. is also creating hostility between Pakistan and Afghanistan, two Muslim states to reverse the perception that the Islamic world now has its own nuclear weapons. Bush 43 doesn't realize he is being manipulated by people who understand geopolitics. He is not leading but being led. All he can do is think in terms of the wanted-dead-or-alive culture, which is how Hollywood conditions the masses to think and act.
All summer long we heard about America's shrinking surplus and that the Pentagon would not have sufficient funds to modernize for the 21st century. And now, all of a sudden, the Pentagon can get what it wants without any Democratic Party opposition. How very convenient! Even your cherished civil liberties can now be abridged with impunity to protect the expansion of the hegemony of transnational capitalism. There is now a new excuse to crush anti-globalization protests.
Bush 43 follows Bush 41. Iraq was baited into the Kuwaiti trap when the U.S. told Saddam it was not interested in his inter-Arab squabbles. Two days later, he moved into Kuwait, which was an Iraqi province anyway before the British Empire decreed otherwise. Roosevelt baited the Pearl Harbor trap for the Japanese empire, which provided the pretext for entering World War II.
And now the Israelis have given the U.S. the pretext for further expansion into an area that will be critical in the next 25 years - the Caspian basin.
Q: Were you a fundamentalist in the days of the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan when you worked closely with the CIA?
A: Not as much as I am today.
Q:What turned you against America?
A: Betrayals and broken promises and what was done to my army career.
Q:And what was that?
A: President Ishaq Khan, who succeeded Zia ul-Haq after his plane was blown out of the sky, wanted to appoint me chief of staff, the highest position in the Pakistani army. The U.S., which by then had clipped ISI's wings, also blocked my promotion by informing the president I was unacceptable. So I was moved to a corps commander position. As ISI director, I held the whole Mujahideen movement in the palm of my hands. We were all pro-American. But then America left us in the lurch and everything went to pieces, including Afghanistan.
The U.S. pushed for a broad-based Afghan government of seven factions and then waved goodbye. Even in the best of democracies, a broad-based coalition does not work. So we quickly had seven jokers in Kabul interested in only one thing - jockeying for power. The gunplay quickly followed, which led to the creation of Taliban, the students of the original Mujahideen, who decided to put an end to it.
Q:What happened to the 1,000 shoulder-fired Stinger anti-aircraft missiles that were supplied by president Reagan in 1986 and 87 to the Mujahideen, and that literally grounded the Soviet air force?
A: After the Soviets pulled out, the CIA allocated $60 million to try to buy them back. This just drove the black market price up for one Stinger from $100,000 to $300,000. The Taliban still have about 250 of them for the kind of situation they face today against U.S. aircraft.
Q:Is the U.S. now your enemy?
A: Is the U.S. national interest in contradiction with the Muslim world? The U.S. needs oil, as do its European allies. You have between 6 and 8 million American Muslims and their ranks are growing. About the same number in Europe. Israel aside, we are America's natural allies. Prof. Sam Huntington in his "Clash of Civilizations" puts Confucius and Judeo-Christians in one corner, and us in the other. His prescription is wrong but is being adopted by Bush 43 who has now put 60 countries on his hit list. This is the diabolical school that wants to launch an anti-Muslim "crusade." Muslims understood what Bush meant when he used that word.
We need a meeting, not a clash, of civilizations. We are on the brink of disaster. It is time to pull back from the brink and reassess before we blow ourselves up. The purpose of Islam is service to humanity. The time for like-minded people to have a meeting of the minds is now.
Q: But you are against democracy, so how can there be a meeting of the minds?
A: Democracy does not work. Politicians are constantly thinking of their next election, not the public good, which means, at best, constantly shading the truth to hide it from their constituents. Their pronouncements are laced with lies and the voters are lulled or gulled into believing utter nonsense. The Koran says call a spade a spade. It is the supreme law and tells right from wrong. There is no notion of "my country right or wrong" under divine law. The creator's will predominates. All if subservient to Allah's will and adherence to a set of basic, fundamental values.
Q:So what kind of a system are you advocating?
A: The world needs a post-modern state system. Right now, the nation-state and round the clock satellite TV lead people to imitate America's way of life. Which is mathematically impossible. You have 4 percent of the world's population consuming 32 percent of the world's resources. The creator through Prophet Mohammed said equal distribution. Capitalism is the negation of the creator's will. It leads to imperialism and unilateralism.
Q:So what does this post-modern state system look like?
A: A global village under divine order, or we will have global bloodshed until good triumphs over evil. Islam encapsulates all the principal religions and what was handed down 1,400 years ago was the normal evolutionary sequel to Judaism and Christianity. The prophet's last sermon was a universal document of human rights for everyone that surpasses everything that came since, including America's declaration of independence and the U.N. Charter of universal rights. If you superimpose true secular values on true Islamic values, there is no difference. So surely divine law should supersede man-made law. Islam is egalitarian, tolerant and progressive. It is the wave of the future.
Q:Marxism also believed that the nation-state would eventually wither away.
A: Socialism jumped the rails when it was co-opted by the imperialist Soviet state. Islam believes in dynamism, Christianity stands for static statism. The pope in all his pronouncements has expressed a dogmatic attachment to the status quo. Why are so many black Americans converting to Islam? Because they are looking for true equality which they cannot find under capitalism. Allah has no gender, neither male nor female. Islam has no indirect taxation in an interest-free economy. Usury was a Jewish concept.
Q: Is Iran your model?
A: There isn't a single true Islamic state in the world today. Iran has moved forward from its 1979 revolution, but I am not sure whether it's the right direction.
Q:And Taliban?
A: They represent Islam in its purest form so far. It's a clean sheet. And they were also moving in the right direction when this crisis was cooked up by the U.S. Until Sept. 11, they had perfect law and order with no formal police force, only traffic cops without sidearms. Now, in less than two weeks, they have mobilized some 300,000 volunteers to fight American and British invaders if they come.
Q: And your reaction to U.S. demands on Pakistan?
A: If Pakistan gives the U.S. base rights we will have a national upheaval. And if the U.S. attacks Afghanistan, there will be a call -- a fatwa -- for a general jihad. All borders will then disappear and it will be a no-holds-barred Islamic uprising against Israel and American imperialism. Pakistan will be engulfed in the firestorm. So I can only hope that cooler heads will prevail in Washington.
Q: What about the other U.S. demands?
A: Overflight rights are meaningless since the U.S. violates air space daily all over the world. As for intelligence sharing with ISI, you can't even catch your own terrorists. And what ISI gives you will be of marginal value anyway.
Q: President (Pervez) Musharraf has made strong statements supporting the U.S.
A: He was my student in the army. He is a good man, but he doesn't understand Islam. The army will never fight the masses. If push comes to shove, Musharraf will say no to the Americans rather than turn against the people. He is not just facing a handful of angry people. By his own admission, it's 10 percent to 15 percent of the population, or at least 10 million people willing to fight. For openers, they would close the port of Karachi. A country cannot breathe without lungs.
Q: Back to Osama's terrorist network. Who was behind the bombing of the U.S. Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya?
A: Mossad is strong in both countries. Remember the Israeli operation to free hostages in Entebbe (Uganda)? Both Kenya and Tanzania were part of the logistical tail. A so-called associate of Osama was framed at Karachi airport. The incidents took place on Aug. 8, 1999, and on the 10th a short, clean-shaven man disembarks at Karachi airport and presents the passport of a bearded man. Not your passport, he was told. He then tries to bribe the clerk with 200 rupees. A ludicrously small sum given the circumstances. The clerk says no and turns him in and he starts singing right away. Not plausible. Osama has sworn to me on the Koran it was not him and he is truthful to a fault. Pious Muslims do not kill innocent civilians who included many Muslim victims. The passport must have been switched while the man was asleep on the plane in what has all the earmarks of a Mossad operation. For 10 years, the Mujahideen fought the Soviets in Afghanistan and not a single Soviet embassy was touched anywhere in the world. So this could not have been Osama's followers.
Q: What if bin Laden has been lying to you and is guilty. Is that inconceivable?
A: If Taliban are given irrefutable evidence of his guilt, I am in favor of a fair trial. In America, one is entitled to a jury of peers. But he has no American peers. The Taliban would not object, in the event of a prima face case, to an international Islamic court meeting in The Hague. They would turn extradite Osama to the Netherlands.

Gordon Duff, staff writer for Veterans Today, wrote recently:
"Today's Israeli National News Service quoted a study on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from BaMachaneh, the Israeli version of Stars and Stripes, stating that IDF soldiers don't get PTSD due to combat, making them vastly superior to their American counterparts."
The study states:
"Compared to their counterparts around the globe, IDF soldiers are less likely to develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) due to combat, according to a study published in the most recent edition of official military magazine BaMachaneh.
The study compared research into PTSD in IDF soldiers to similar research done in other countries. Less than five percent of the soldiers who fought in the Second Lebanon War and in Operation Cast Lead in Gaza showed signs of post-traumatic stress, researchers found."
The IDF study cites that up to 30% of American veterans and active duty alike, suffer flashbacks, outbursts of anger and a host of other symptoms which do not plague Jews who are subjected to similar combat circumstances.
Gordon is skeptical of the claim that IDF troops, unlike American soldiers, don't suffer from PTSD. If this is true, Gordon says, maybe it's because American soldiers are fighting and dying for a Zionist-orchestrated series of lies, and are treated like "broken toys" when they come home; while Israeli soldiers are committing genocide for their own national benefit, and are relatively well-treated by their US-taxpayer-funded regime.
But there is a simpler explanation: In claiming that its soldiers are immune to PTSD, Israel is implicitly confessing that its troops are psychopaths.
In Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman shows that throughout history, 5% of the soldiers -- the psychopaths and borderline psychopaths -- have done 95% of the killing. As Grossman explains, studies by S.L.A. Marshall and associates showed that the vast majority of World War II infantry soldiers found ways to avoid firing at the enemy; and archeological evidence suggests that the same was true of previous wars.
Normal human beings can only kill at tremendous psychological cost, and thus find ways to avoid killing on the battlefield, even if it means losing their own lives. A non-psychopath who kills in wartime will almost certainly suffer some form of PTSD upon returning to civilian life.
Marshall's studies spurred the development of intensive Pavlovian conditioning methods that raised the shoot-to-kill ratio to 50% in the Korean war, and 90% in Vietnam. That, Grossman suggests, is why PTSD rates skyrocketed. Normal, non-psychopathic men were being effectively turned into killers for the first time in history. When they came home, they couldn't live with themselves.
It is a tribute to the American character -- to the fact that only about 5% of American men are psychopaths -- that our troops suffer from so much PTSD.
The Israelis, on the other hand...how to put this politely?
Andrzej Lobaczewski, in his seminal study of political psychopathy Political Ponerology, writes:
"The pathocratic phenomenon [a society ruled by psychopaths and those who catch the psychopathic contagion] has appeared many times in history...[it sometimes] occurs when the religious association itself succumbs to infection...succumbs to destruction from within, its organism becomes subordinated to goals completely different from the original idea, and its theosophic and moral values fall prey to characteristic deformation, thereby serving as a disguise for domination by pathological individuals. The religious idea then becomes both a justification for using force and sadism against nonbelievers, heretics, and sorcerers, and a conscience drug for people who put such inspirations into effect."
Clearly the "religious idea" of Zionism has undergone this kind of pathological shift.
Israel is a psychopathic state par excellence. Its soldiers slaughter innocent Palestinian children by the hundreds as they play on sidewalks and schoolyards as a de facto national policy:
"Two thirds of the 621 children (two thirds under 15 years) killed at checkpoints, in the street, on the way to school, in their homes, died from small arms fire, directed in over half of cases to the head, neck and chest - the sniper's wound...Clearly, soldiers are routinely authorised to shoot to kill children in situations of minimal or no threat." (British Medical Journal 10/16/04)
There are countless eyewitness accounts of these child-killings. For example, Chris Hedges, one of America's most respected journalists, wrote in Harper's magazine (October 2001) that he had been in several war zones, but he had never seen soldiers luring children within range of their guns, then gut-shooting them for sport, until he saw Israeli soldiers doing it in the Occupied Territories.
The Israeli soldiers who gut-shoot Palestinian children for sport apparently feel no remorse, and therefore suffer from no PTSD. Israeli society and its judicial system feel no remorse either, which is why they never prosecute the child-killers, and why polls show that more than 90% of Israeli Jews approve of the criminal destruction of Gaza by Operation Cast Lead.
A society that slaughters innocent children without remorse is a society of psychopaths.

Des douzaines de rabbins signent une déclaration condamnant l'arrestation du rabbin Yitzhak Shapira, l'auteur principal du livre "La Torah des Rois" (King's Torah).
Ces rabbins attestent que Shapira a énoncé une vérité de la loi juive ("Halakha"), une vérité que plusieurs tiennent cependant à maintenir sous le boisseau. ("Tu ne tueras point" serait donc un commandement qui ne s'applique qu'entre juifs!)
La franchise du rabbin Shapira lui vaudra-t-elle la prison?
Rabbis oppose Yitzhak's arrestDozens of rabbis, National Religious figures sign condemnation of Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira's arrest over book. Rabbi Aviner tells Ynet: I am opposed to book, but religious laws governing killing non-Jews outlined in it are legitimate, must be dealt with halachically'
Le rabbin d’Yitzhar, entre les mains de la police Par YAAKOV LAPPIN La police a arrêté le rabbin d’Yitzhar, Yossef Elitzur-Hershkowitz, dans la nuit de mercredi. Elle le soupçonne d’incitation à la haine raciale et de possession de textes racistes.
Cette arrestation s’inscrit dans une enquête plus large sur le livre Torat Hamelech (La Torah du roi), co-écrit par Elitzur-Hershkowitz et le rabbin Itzhak Shapira de l’implantation d’Yitzhar, en Judée-Samarie. Le livre traite des règles de guerre et notamment des conditions dans lesquelles des non-Juifs peuvent être tués sans enfreindre les lois religieuses. Entre liberté de religion et incitation
Depuis sa publication en 2009, l’ouvrage suscite la controverse. La police a interrogé Shapira le mois dernier. Elle a également confisqué des copies du texte, dans la yeshiva d’Yitzhar.
Le rabbin Dov LIOR
Les rabbins Dov Lior de Kiryat Arba et Yaacov Yossef, fils du leader spirituel du parti Shas, Ovadia Yossef, soutiennent l’ouvrage et ses auteurs. Ils ont toutefois refusé de répondre aux questions de la police.
Pour le représentant du ministère public, Shaï Nitzan, s’en est trop : "Le fait d’être rabbin en Israël ne donne pas l’immunité. Ils tombent aussi sous le coup de la loi", a-t-il expliqué à la radio de l’armée. "La liberté de religion ne permet pas de faire n’importe quoi. Si quelqu’un incite à la haine raciale, une enquête doit être ouverte contre lui. Il y a des limites à ne pas dépasser."
Des centaines de rabbins d’extrême-droite ont pris part, mercredi, à un séminaire "en l’honneur de la Torah et de son indépendance". Sans être d’accord avec tout ce qui est écrit dans l’ouvrage controversé, ils demandent à l’Etat de "ne pas se mêler des affaires des religieux". Des figures tutélaires, comme le rabbin de Ramat Gan, Yaacov Ariel, et le rabbin Haïm Druckman étaient également présents lors de l’événement.
NDLR - Les communiqués diffusés dans certaines synagogues d’Israël, démentent les implications des rabbins Dov Lior et Yaakov Yossef, et indiquent même que les préfaces publiées en leur nom dans ce livre seraient des faux. Un grand nombre de rabbins du mouvement sioniste pour la plus part ont signé des motions de soutien aux rabbins Dov Lior et Yaakov Yossef, qui sont des sommités de la Torah. D’autre part la question posée serait la suivante :
Est-ce qu’un rabbin qui enseignerait les lois de la guerre en se basant sur les textes du corpus rabbinique serait en infraction avec la loi ?
Un grand nombre de rabbins affirment que non, et que ce serait là une ingérence de la politique dans le rôle du rabbin dont la mission est la transmission du savoir rabbinique.
pour exemple nous soumettons un verset qui peu faire débat : nombre chapitre 33 verset 55. Soirée de solidarité à l’Hotel Rmamada de Jérusalem, avec le rav Lior et Yaakov Yossef.
Près de deux cents rabbins, du courant sioniste-religieux, se sont réunis jeudi soir à l’hôtel Ramada de Jérusalem pour exprimer leur soutien à leurs confrères, menacés d’être soumis à une enquête policière pour ce qu’on pourrait appeler un « délit d’opinions ».
Des poursuites ont en effet été engagées contre certains d’entre eux en raison du soutien qu’ils auraient apporté à un livre, Torat Hamelekh, dans lequel il serait écrit notamment qu’il est permis de tuer des non-juifs mettant en danger la paix d’Israël. Les rabbins concernés ont refusé de répondre à la convocation de la police, arguant du fait qu’il s’agissait d’une enquête politique et que la Torah ne pouvait en aucun cas faire l’objet d’investigations ».
Lors de cette soirée de solidarité, le Rav de Kiriat Arba Dov Lior, qui est l’une des personnes impliquées dans cette affaire, a notamment déclaré « qu’il n’était pas question de laisser quelques fonctionnaires donner des directives et décréter ce qui est permis et ce qui est interdit ».
Le Rav Lior a encore souligné que « c’était le rôle des rabbins de rappeler les règles de la loi juive sans craindre les répercussions de leurs propos ». A ce stade, on ne sait pas encore si la police entamera une procédure contre les rabbins ou si elle renoncera à son enquête. Rappelons que l’auteur du livre, le Rav Itsik Shapira, de la localité de Itshar, a été arrêté à son domicile et soumis à un interrogatoire. Après lui, le Rav Itshak Ginsbourg, directeur de la Yeshiva Od Yossef Haï, a également dû répondre aux questions des enquêteurs.
[AFP] Dans son livre intitulé La Torah du roi, le rabbin israélien justifie le meurtre de non-juifs pour "freiner leurs inclinations malignes".
Un rabbin colon auteur d'un livre justifiant le meurtre, dans certaines circonstances, de goys (non-juifs), y compris des enfants, a été arrêté jeudi 19 août par la police israélienne, a annoncé la radio militaire.
Ce rabbin, Yossef Elitzur, résidant dans la colonie d'Yitzhar dans le nord de la Cisjordanie et co-auteur d'un ouvrage intitulé La Torah du roi, est soupçonné d'incitation à la haine raciale et à la violence.
Dans cet ouvrage publié au début de l'année, les rabbins Elitzur et Yitzhak Shapira affirment que les non-juifs ne sont pas, "par nature, sujets à la compassion" et que les attaquer "peut freiner leurs inclinations malignes", selon des extraits publiés par le quotidien Haaretz.
Les deux auteurs estiment également qu'il peut être licite de tuer les bébés et les enfants des "ennemis d'Israël car il est clair qu'ils nous porteront préjudice lorsqu'ils auront grandi".
"Partout où l'influence de goys constitue une menace pour la vie d'Israël, il est permis de les tuer, même s'il s'agit des Justes parmi les nations", soulignent ces rabbins en faisant allusion à ceux qui ont sauvé des juifs durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale.
L'ouvrage a été publié avec l'imprimatur de deux autres rabbins plus connus, Dov Lior et Yaakov Yossef, fils du rabbin Ovadia Yossef, fondateur et chef spirituel du Shass, un parti ultra-orthodoxe représenté au gouvernement. Ces deux rabbins ont refusé de répondre à une convocation de la police qui voulait leur demander des explications.
Mercredi soir, plusieurs dizaines de rabbins, d'éducateurs et d'activistes d'extrême droite se sont réunis à Jérusalem pour les soutenir dans leur refus de voir "l'Etat se mêler de la Torah".
Israël: Un rabbin ultra nationaliste, arrêté puis relâché quelques heures plus tard
http://www.kipa-apic.ch/index.php?pw=&na=0,0,0,0,f&ki=211118 Il est soupçonné de racisme envers les non juifs Jérusalem, 20 août 2010 (Apic) Un rabbin ultra, soupçonné de racisme envers les non juifs, a été arrêté jeudi pour être libérer quelques heures plus tard. Yossef Elitzur, rabbin colon, s’était fait remarquer par son livre dans lequel il justifiait le meurtre, dans certaines circonstances, de personnes non juives. Il est permis de tuer les bébés et les enfants des ennemis d’Israël, écrit ce religieux juif.
Yossef Elitzur, rabbin résidant dans la colonie d’Yitzhar dans le nord de la Cisjordanie occupée et co-auteur d’un ouvrage intitulé "La Torah du roi", est soupçonné d’incitation à la haine raciale et à la violence, indique vendredi l’Agence France presse.
Le tribunal de Rishon Le Zion, au sud de Tel-Aviv, a pourtant ordonné sa libération reprochant à la police de ne pas l’avoir convoqué auparavant pour interrogatoire, selon un communiqué de l’association de juristes ul …
At the conclusion of prayers, eight
major state-funded rabbis ambled up to the platform above the crowd,
most representing an official yeshiva from a settlement or major Israeli
city. With their long, gray beards, black suits, black fedoras, and
wizened appearances, they looked as though they had been lifted from the
imagination of some deranged anti-Semite. And here they were to defend a
book that openly justified the mass slaughter of gentile babies, though
to be sure, not all were willing to say that they agreed with its
contents. The only point the rabbis agreed on, at least openly, was that
the state should never scrutinize or punish the speech of religious
authorities. With their penchant for firebreathing tirades against
Arabs, homosexuals, and other evildoers, these rabbis knew they were
next in line if Shapira and Elitzur were officially prosecuted.
Yaakov
Yosef was escorted into the gathering by Baruch Marzel, a notoriously
violent leader of the Jewish terrorist group, Kach. Up at the podium,
Yosef hailed Marzel as a “gever,” or a great man of honor. Yosef was the
son of Ovadiah Yosef, the spiritual guide of the Shas Party and former
Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Israel. Despite Ovadiah Yosef’s penchant for
outrageous ravings (“Goyim were born only to serve. Without that, they
have no place in the world,” he proclaimed in a weekly sermon), he
opposed the publication of Torat Ha’Melech, calling it “racist”
and dangerous to Israel’s international image. But since joining the
extremist, cultic Jewish sect of Chabad, Yaakov had taken on a decidely
more radical posture than his father. (Elitzur was a Chabad rabbi.)
In his speech, Yosef attempted to couch Torat Ha’Melech
within the mainstream tradition of the Torah. Quoting from Psalms
Chapter 79 in order to demonstrate the book’s supposed consistency with
established Halakhic teachings, Yosef declared, “Pour out your wrath on
the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not
call on your name; for they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his
homeland.” He then reminded his audience of the Passover tale. “We asked
the Jewish people, ‘You don’t want to read from the Hagadah at the
Passover table [citing the slaughter of non-Jews]? Does anyone want to
change the Bible or the statements of the Torah?” Shapira and Elitzur’s
only crime, Yosef claimed, was remaining faithful to the oral and
written statements contained in the Torah.
Next, Rabbi
Haim Druckman, rose to speak. A former member of Knesset and winner of
the 2012 Israel Prize for education, Druckman was a figurehead of Jewish
extremism in Israel. In 1980, after a group of settlers embarked on a
semi-successful terror plot to maim the leading Palestinian mayors of
the West Bank (they crippled the mayors of Nablus and Ramallah),
Druckman celebrated: “Thus may all of Israel’s enemies perish!” Hunched
over the podium, the hoarse-throated Druckman was careful to avoid
endorsing the contents of Torat Ha’Melech, volunteering only
that he “hope[d] what happened here will end soon and that we will never
have to make such conferences again.”
A more strident
statement of support came from Rabbi Yehoshua Shapira, head of the
state-sponsored yeshiva in the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan. Yehoshua
Shapira bellowed, “The obligation to sacrifice your life is above all
others when fighting those who wish to destroy the authority of the
Torah. It is not only true against non-Jews who are trying to destroy it
but against Jewish people from any side.”
Outside the
conference hall, where the Kahanist Knesset member Michael Ben-Ari
milled around with Baruch Marzel and Itamar Ben-Gvir, another aide he
pulled from the ranks of Kach, Yossi and I chatted with a 22-year-old
settler who spoke to us in an American accent. We demanded to know if he
was willing to defend the provisions in Torat Ha’Melech
justifying the murder of innocent children. Without hesitation or any
initial shame, the young man, who refused to give his name, told us,
“There is such a concept in Jewish law as an enemy population, and under
very, very specific circumstances, according to various rabbinic
opinions, it would be seemingly permissible to kill, uh, uh....” For a
moment, he trailed off, and his eyes darted around the room. But the
settler managed to collect himself and complete his statement. “To kill
children,” he muttered uncomfortably.
The genocidal philosophy expressed in Torat Ha’Melech
emerged from the fevered atmosphere of a settlement called Yitzhar
located in the northern West Bank near the Palestinian city of Nablus.
There, Shapira helps lead the settlement’s Od Yosef Chai yeshiva,
holding sway over a small army of fanatics eager to terrorize the
Palestinians tending to their crops and livestock in the valleys below
them. Shapira was raised in an infl uential religious nationalist
family. Like Yaakov Yosef, he took a radical turn after joining the
Chabad sect under the tutelage of Rabbi Yitzchok Ginsburgh, the director
of Yitzhar’s Od Yosef Chai yeshiva who defended seven of his students
who murdered an innocent Palestinian girl by asserting the superiority
of Jewish blood. In 1994, when the Jewish fanatic Baruch Goldstein
massacred 29 Palestinian worshippers at the Cave of the Patriarchs in
Hebron, Ginsburgh lionized Goldstein in a lengthy article titled
“Baruch, Hagever,” or “Baruch, the Great Man.” Ginsburgh cast
Goldstein’s murder spree as an act consistent with core Halakhic
teachings, from the importance of righteous revenge to the necessity of
the “eradication of the seed of Amalek.”
Under the
direction of Ginsburgh and Shapira, Od Yosef Chai has raked in nearly
$50,000 from the Israeli Ministry of Social Affairs since 2007. The
Israeli Ministry of Education has supplemented the government’s support
by pumping over $250,000 into the yeshiva’s coffers between 2006 and
2007. Od Yosef Chai has also benefited handsomely from donations from a
tax-exempt American non-profit called the Central Fund of Israel.
Located inside the Marc Brothers Textiles store in Midtown Manhattan,
the Central Fund transferred at least $30,000 to Od Yosef Chai between
2007 and 2008. (Itamar Marcus, the brother of Central Fund founder
Kenneth, is the director of Palestine Media Watch, a pro-Israel
organization ironically dedicated to exposing Palestinian incitement).
In April 2013, the Israeli government finally announced it would cease
funding Od Yosef Chai, citing the yeshiva as a threat to public safety.
Though
he did not specify the identity of the non-Jewish “enemy” in the pages
of his book, Rabbi Shapira’s longstanding connection to terrorist
attacks against Palestinian civilians exposes the true identity of his
targets. In 2006, another rabbi in Shapira’s yeshiva, Yossi Peli, was
briefly held by Israeli police for urging his supporters to murder all
Palestinian males over the age of 13. Two years later, Shapira was
questioned by Shin Bet under suspicion that he helped orchestrate a
homemade rocket attack against a Palestinian village near Nablus. Though
he was released, Shapira’s name arose in connection with another act of
terror, when in January 2010 the Israeli police raided his settlement
seeking the vandals who set fire to a nearby mosque. After arresting 10
settlers, the Shin Bet held five of Shapira’s confederates under
suspicion of arson. None ever saw the inside of a prison cell.
Asked
if the students at the Oded Yosef Chai yeshiva were taking the law into
their own hands in attacking Palestinians, one of Shapira’s colleagues,
Rabbi David Dudkevitch, replied, “The issue is not taking the law into
our hands, but rather taking the entire State into our hands.”
Jewish
settler violence has been a fact of life in the occupied West Bank
since the 1970s. Since 2007, however, settler violence has spiked
dramatically. A 2008 article in Ha’aretz attributed the rise in attacks
to the 2005 withdrawal of settlers from the Gaza Strip, after which West
Bank settlers vowed to answer each state action against them by with a
“price tag” assault on Palestinians, thus establishing a deterrent
“balance of terror.”
But a detailed analysis of
documented settler attacks that occurred during the past decade by the
Washington-based research institute, the Palestine Center revealed the
violence as structural, not reactive. Staged without pretext and most
frequently in West Bank areas under Israeli security control, the
settlers acted without restraint. The report identified northern
settlements such as Yitzhar as hotbeds of violent activity, with
shooting attacks and arson on the rise. According to Yesh Din, an
Israeli human rights group, the Israeli police closed 91 percent of
investigations into settler attacks without indicting anyone, and
usually failed to locate the suspects.
According to a
March 2011 Ynet-Gesher poll of 504 Israeli adults, 48 percent of
Israelis supported settler violence in retaliation to Palestinian or
Israeli government actions, with only 33 percent stating their belief
that settler violence was “never justified.” While a vast majority of
Orthodox and religious nationalist respondents expressed strong support
for settler attacks, 36 percent of secular Israelis did as well—a
remarkably high number for a population that lives primarily inside the
Green Line.
While Ginsburgh and Shapira provided the
halakhic seal of approval for settler rampages in the north of the West
Bank, in the south, their comrade, Dov Lior, the chief rabbi of Hebron,
has cheered on the murder of anyone, Jew or non-Jew, who appeared to
interfere with the redemptive cause of Greater Israel. At the funeral
for Baruch Goldstein, Lior extolled the mass killer as “a righteous man”
who was “holier than all the martyrs of the Holocaust.” Thanks in part
to Lior’s efforts, a shrine to Goldstein stands inside the Jewish
settlement of Kiryat Arba, where Lior presides over the yeshiva. At the
same time, Lior pronounced Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin a moser (a Jew
who snitches to the goyim) and a rodef (a traitor worthy of
elimination), helping establish the religious justification for Yigal
Amir, one of Lior’s admirers, to assassinate him.
Lior’s
penchant for overheated, fascistic tirades has not diminished with age.
He has warned Jewish women not to allow in vitro fertilization with the
sperm of non-Jews, claiming that “gentile sperm leads to barbaric
offspring,” described Arabs as “evil camel riders” and said captive
Palestinian militants could be used as subjects for live human
experiments. The short, gray-bearded rabbi has even held forth on the
evils of “boogie woogie,” declaring that rock and roll “expresses
people’s animalistic and lower urges.” He added, “Something that belongs
to the rhythms of kushim [Negroes] does not belong in our world.”
Thanks
to the growing corps of religious nationalist youth signing up for army
service after studying in hesder yeshivas, or institutions of religious
learning that train young men for the military, Lior has secured
considerable influence inside the military. In 2008, when the chief
rabbi of the Israeli army, Brigadier General Avichai Ronski, brought a
group of military intelligence officers to Hebron for a special tour, he
concluded the day with a private meeting with Lior, who was allowed to
regale the officers with his views on modern warfare, which includes
vehement support for the collective punishment of Palestinians. Ronski,
for his part, has overseen the distribution of extremist tracts to
soldiers during Operation Cast Lead, including “Baruch, Hagever,” and a
pamphlet stating, “When you show mercy to a cruel enemy, you are being
cruel to pure and honest soldiers.”
In October 2009, a
group of soldiers from the army’s notoriously abusive Shimshon Battalion
upheld a protest banner vowing to refuse orders to evacuate settlements
during a swearing-in ceremony at the Western Wall—“Shimshon does not
expel.” When the army punished the two soldiers who organized the
display of disloyalty by ejecting them from the unit, rabbis Ginsburgh
and Lior promptly planned a religious revival in Jerusalem in their
honor. A source told the Jerusalem Post that the ceremony would include
the mass distribution of the newly published Torat Ha’Melech.
Weeks after the incident, two more major Israeli army brigades, Nahson
and Kfir, decorated their training bases with banners announcing their
refusal to evacuate settlements.
Less than two years
later, Matanya Ofan, the cofounder of a Jewish extremist media outlet
based in Yitzhar, appeared in a viral online video in full army uniform,
cradling an army-issued M-16 in one hand and a copy of Torat Ha’Melech
in the other. The book had come to represent the unofficial code of the
religious nationalist soldier. Staring into the camera, Ofan declared,
“When I come at the border, with God’s grace, I will not listen to the
nonsense that the commanders will tell me, and if I see an enemy coming
towards the border I will do anything to stop him from passing and I
will try and harm him—because this is how we can save the lives of the
Jews. Only this way no Sudani or Syrian will get to Tel Aviv.” A caption
at the end of the video read, “Jews, let’s win.”
By
this time, the ranks of the army were overrun by religious nationalists,
with more than a third of infantry officers expressing a right-wing
religious point of view—a 30 percent jump since 1990. A 2010 study
showed that 13 percent of company commanders lived in West Bank
settlements. The army’s second-in-command, Deputy Chief of Staff Yair
Naveh, was the first religious officer appointed to a position on the
General Staff. He was also the officer implicated in the Anat Kamm
scandal for ordering the assassination of Palestinian militants in
flagrant violation of a Supreme Court ruling.
Another
prominent religious Zionist was Yaakov Amidror, the former director of
the analysis wing of the army’s military intelligence and commander of
its officer academies. A settler with a puffy white beard, Amidror was
appointed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to serve as the director
of his National Security Council. Besides advocating the reoccupation of
the Gaza Strip, Amidror stirred controversy by calling for summary
executions of Israeli soldiers who refused to advance in battle, and for
using disproportionate force against the enemy’s civilian population.
“What
should be said is, kill more of the bastards on the other side, so that
we’ll win. Period,” he bellowed during a panel discussion on “National
Values in the Israel Defense Forces.”
While Amidror’s views appeared to dovetail with some of those of the authors of Torat Ha’Melech,
he did not dare defend them. This was a job for rabbis Lior and Yaakov
Yosef, who became the most prominent apologists, if not the most
enthusiastic boosters, of Torat Ha’Melech. In early 2011, with
the controversy over the book still raging across Israel, Yosef and Lior
provided the supreme rabbinical stamp of approval: a haskama, the kind
of endorsement provided at the preface of Judaic works by scholars
testifying to their halakhic value and the veracity of their contents.
“I
was gladdened, seeing this wonderful creation,” Lior said of the book.
That February, the minister of Internal Security issued an arrest
warrant for Lior after he refused to come in for questioning on
suspicion of incitement to racism, a crime in Israel that is seldom
punished, but which carries a penalty of as much as five years in
prison. Lior rejected the state’s order on the grounds that he had no
obligation to abide by its rules; the Torah itself was being put on
trial, he claimed.
Thus the self-proclaimed voice of Judaism in its purest form placed himself above the law.
Meanwhile,
the arrest order provoked calls for total resistance from right-wing
members of Knesset like Yaakov Katz, who said the government was
behaving like the “dark regimes” that persecuted Jews throughout
history, casting the attorney general in the role of Nazis and Pharoahs.
Twenty-four members of Netanyahu’s coalition, including David Rotem,
the chair of the Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee,
joined Katz in denouncing Lior’s arrest. Both chief rabbis of Israel,
Yona Metzger and Shlomo Amar, issued a joint statement denouncing the
arrest of a man they called “one of Israel’s greatest rabbis.”
The
religious right’s ire exploded at a boisterous protest outside the
Supreme Court in July 2011, with hundreds of young settlers breaching a
wall outside the courthouse and attempting to storm the building. That
same month, when two right-wing activists were caught breaking into his
home, Shai Nitzan, the deputy state prosecutor, was forced to travel
with a special security detail.
In May 2012, the
government buckled under unrelenting pressure—the right-wing caved to
the far-right—with Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein ruling that he had
insufficient evidence to conclude that Torat Ha’Melech incited
racism, mainly because the book was written in a “general manner.” Lior
walked free along with the book’s authors, Shapira and Elitzur,
consolidating their political dominance while ensuring that the tract
they produced would continue circulating freely within the ranks of the
army. Astonished by the state’s decision, Sefi Rachlevsky, a liberal
columnist for Ha’aretz, pronounced Lior “the ruler of Israel.”
Having
successfully exerted its influence on the military and the justice
system, the religious right set out into mixed cities across Israel to
promote segregation and punish miscegenation in a campaign that spread
block by block, street by street.
[American Free Press] The King’s Torah: Kill All Who Endanger a Chosen One
RABBI YITZHAK SHAPIRA, who is a “spiritual leader” for extremist Jews, is making headlines around the world for his new book, The King’s Torah, which sanctions killing non-Jews, even children and babies, in any situation in which “a non-Jew’s presence endangers Jewish lives.” This is acceptable, says Shapira, even if “the gentile” is “not at all guilty for the situation that has been created.” According to journalist Jonathon Cook, Shlomo Aviner, another of the settlement movement’s spiritual leaders, is defending the book’s points as a “legitimate stance . . . that should be taught in Jewish seminaries.” [American Free Press]
In the 230-page book, 'The King’s Torah', Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira and his co-author, Rabbi Yosef Elitzur argue that Jewish law permits the killing of non-Jews in a wide variety of circumstances. The terms 'gentiles' and 'non-Jews' in the book are widely understood as references to Palestinians, notes Jonathan Cook.
THE KING'S TORAH, ISRAELI "BEST SELLER" JUSTIFIES TERROR
LEGAL JUSTIFICATION FOR ATTACKS ON GENTILES
Conservative interpretations of Jewish law, currently being used to
justify resettlement of Palestinians and even total removal of all
non-Jews from greater Palestine and adjacent areas have long been used
to justify acts such as the attack on the USS Liberty, bombings of US
facilities in Egypt and, less openly, “false flag” terror attacks
attributed to Muslims but performed by Israeli security forces. Rabbi
Yitzhak Shapira and Rabbi Yosef Elitzur, seen as the ethical conscience
behind the Netanyahu government have taken the following position as
reported by Jonathan Cook:
“In the 230-page book, Shapira and his co-author, Rabbi Yosef
Elitzur (The King’s Torah,currently Israel’s best selling book) argue
that Jewish law permits the killing of non-Jews in a wide variety of circumstances. They write that Jews have the right to kill Gentiles in any situation in which “a non-Jew’s presence endangers Jewish lives” even if the Gentile is “not at all guilty for the situation that has been created”.
The book sanctions the killing of non-Jewish children and babies: “There is justification for killing babies if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us, and in such a situation they may be harmed deliberately, and not only during combat with adults.”
The rabbis suggest that harming the children of non-Jewish leaders is justified if it is likely to bring pressure to bear on them to change policy. The authors also advocate committing “cruel deeds to create the proper balance of terror” and treating all members of an “enemy nation” as targets for retaliation, even if they are not directly participating in hostile activities.” (false flag terrorism) Source: GORDON DUFF: FALSE FLAG NUKE ATTACK ON U.S. JUSTIFIED….”KING’S TORAH”
"Our holy Torah will not be subject to interrogation!"
Two prominent rabbis from the national-religious camp refused police requests on Monday that they undergo questioning for their endorsements of a controversial book authored by Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira of the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar.
The book, Torat Hamalech (The King’s Torah), discusses the rules of war and states that in certain situations, non-Jews can be killed. The book has attracted a firestorm of controversy since being published in 2009, and police questioned Shapira over the text last month while raiding his yeshiva, Od Yosef Chai, in Yitzhar in order to confiscate copies.
Rabbi Dov Lior of Kiryat Arba and Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, son of Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, endorsed the book and were summoned by the police’s National Serious and International Crimes (NSCIC) Unit for questioning at its Lod Headquarters.
But in a joint statement issued on Monday, the rabbis said they would not show up for questioning.
‘Our holy Torah will not be subject to interrogation!” the statement read. “The attempt to prevent the rabbis of Israel from expressing their opinion, the opinion of the Torah, through intimidation and threats is a most severe act and will not succeed. Authorities that act this way join the authorities of evil that have banned the study of Torah and lifted up their hand against the Torah of Israel.”
The rabbis defended the book, describing it as “the real instruction guide on the rules of warfare according to our holy Torah.”
Responding to the statement, a police spokesman told The Jerusalem Post on Monday evening that the authorities would “not discuss an ongoing investigation.”
Un
rabbin de Cisjordanie a publié il y a deux semaines un livre dans
lequel il autorise les Juifs à tuer les « Gentils » qui « menacent »
Israël.
Rabbi Yitzhak Shapiro, qui dirige une yeshiva (centre d'étude talmudique), précise dans son ouvrage La Torah du roi, que même les bébés et les enfants peuvent être tués s'ils représentent une menace pour la nation...
« Il est permis de tuer les Justes parmi les Nations, même si ils ne sont pas responsables de la situation menaçante », écrit-il aussi, ajoutant : « Si nous tuons un païen qui a péché ou a violé l'un des sept commandements - parce que nous nous soucions des commandements - il n'y a rien de mal à l'assassiner ».
Plusieurs rabbins éminents, dont le rabbin Yithak Ginzburg et le rabbin
Yaakov Yosef, ont recommandé le livre à leurs élèves et disciples.Il
faut dire que lorsque l'on connait le Talmud, ces thèses ne sont guère étonnantes...
Just weeks after the arrest of alleged Jewish terrorist, Yaakov
Teitel, a West Bank rabbi on Monday released a book giving Jews
permission to kill Gentiles who threaten Israel.
Rabbi
Yitzhak Shapiro, who heads the Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva in the Yitzhar
settlement, wrote in his book "The King's Torah" that even babies and
children can be killed if they pose a threat to the nation.
Shapiro based the majority of his teachings on passages quoted from the Bible, to which he adds his opinions and beliefs.
"It
is permissable to kill the Righteous among Nations even if they are not
responsible for the threatening situation," he wrote, adding: "If we
kill a Gentile who has sinned or has violated one of the seven
commandments - because we care about the commandments - there is nothing
wrong with the murder."
Several
prominent rabbis, including Rabbi Yithak Ginzburg and Rabbi Yaakov
Yosef, have recommended the book to their students and followers.
