Israeli court releases racist rabbi
Posted by on August 26, 2010
Yossi (Yosef) Elitzur, a resident of the hardline Yitzhar settlement in the north of the occupied West Bank, was arrested on Thursday for incitement to racism and violence, AFP reported.
But a court in Rishon LeZion, near Tel Aviv, ordered that the rabbi be released the same day, saying police had failed to call him in first for questioning.
The King’s Torah, a controversial book Elitzur co-authored with another rabbi, says Jews are allowed to kill “those who, by speech, weaken our sovereignty,” adding that it is permissible to kill a non-Jew who threatens Israel even if the person is classified as a Righteous Gentile.
The book says is okay to kill children if they “stand in the way.” “They stand in the way of rescue in their presence and they are doing this without wanting to.”
“Nonetheless, killing them is allowed because their presence supports murder. There is justification in harming infants if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us. Under such circumstances the blow can be directed at them and not only by targeting adults,” Ha’aretz quoted the book as saying.
Published in November 2009, the book has drawn strong criticism from numerous rabbis who say it contradicts the teachings of Judaism.

To actually discuss and make plans that involve killing infants, babies, toddlers, is completely antiethical, inhumane and a reminder of how easily we humans slip into cruel barbarism.
Murdering babies because of their ethnicity.
Killing because a baby may possibly want justice when they are of an age to demand it.
Killing because the zionist land theft didn’t go as the zionist intelligensia promised it would: the old will die off and the young will move on & forget.
Sad is it not that Obama threatened ‘predator drones’ to any young man who made improper advances towards Obamas little girls, doesn’t he realise that according to zionists his daughters are as killable as a flea with the same moral discomfort of swatting us gentile insects.
Isn’t it crazy that such things don’t make an international incident but if you say I’m against Zionism they all accuse you of wanting to kill Jews.
