>> Rabbis Who Bring Shame to Judaism
>> by Khaled Amayreh / August 6th, 2008
>>
>> Religious extremism is very dangerous. It means that every thinkable vice
>> under the sun can be committed, "sanctioned" and "justified" in the name
>> of the Almighty. In Israel, rabbis with hundreds of thousands of
>> followers, many of whom serve in the Gestapo-like Israeli occupation
>> army, openly teach that non-Jews are only human in form but animals in
>> substance. These racist teachings can't be dismissed as "innocuous" or
>> "esoteric." Very often, they constitute "a manual for action" for many
>> Jewish settlers roaming the hills of the West Bank, searching for an Arab
>> prey to kill, or attack or tie up to a power pole.
>>
>> The teachings also serve as a direct inspiration to numerous Israeli
>> soldiers operating in the West Bank who, thanks to the racist
>> indoctrination they receive from their rabbis, have come to view the
>> estimated 3.7 million Palestinians living under Israel's military rule,
>> not as real human beings, but rather as animals walking on two feet. The
>> often barbaric treatment meted out to the Palestinians in the occupied
>> territories testifies to the rampantly racist indoctrination soldiers and
>> settlers receive at the hands of religious Zionist rabbis. Last year, a
>> Jewish immigrant from France, who murdered an Arab taxi driver after
>> luring him to his home north of Tel Aviv, told police interrogators that
>> he didn't kill a human being; he only killed an animal.
>>
>> "Merkaz Harav"
>> Merkaz Harav (the Rabbi's Center) is the ideological and theological
>> central nervous system of religious Zionism in Israel. Established in
>> honor of Rabbi Abraham Kook, Israel's first Chief Rabbi, the center,
>> which is actually a religious college, teaches students that God Almighty
>> created the entire universe for the sake of "the Jew," and that all
>> non-Jews ought to be slaves laboring for the "chosen people." As to the
>> Palestinians, Merkaz Harav teaches that "non-Jews living under Jewish law
>> in Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel) must either be enslaved as water
>> carriers and wood hewers, or banished, or exterminated."
>>
>> Some rabbinic authorities associated with Merkaz Harav have been
>> preaching the view that Palestinians are descendants of the Amalek, or
>> Amalekites, whom the Bible says must be totally exterminated. Such
>> hateful views are actually espoused by hundreds of thousands of Jewish
>> settlers in the West Bank. This is the religious doctrine of religious
>> Zionism. This is the theology taught in hundreds of Yeshivot (religious
>> schools) throughout Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.
>> Settlers as well as the increasingly Settler-dominated Israeli army may
>> very well act on these doctrines in a more wanton manner if the world
>> goes into a slumber. They are only awaiting the opportune time to do it.
>>
>> According to Rabbi Kook, "The difference between a Jewish soul and souls
>> of non-Jews-all of them in all different levels-is greater and deeper
>> than the difference between a human soul and the soul of cattle." The
>> late Israeli philosopher, Yisrael Shahak, pointed out that the teachings
>> of Kook were based on the Lurianic Cabala, one of whose basic tenets is
>> the absolute superiority of the Jewish soul and body over the non-Jewish
>> soul and body "so much so that the world was created solely for the sake
>> of Jews."
>>
>> In 2003, Rabbi Saadya Grama, an alumnus of Beth Medrash Govoha, the
>> renowned Yeshiva in Lakewood, N.J., wrote a book titled Romemut Yisrael
>> Ufarashat Hagalut, which can be translated as "the Majesty of Israel and
>> the Question of the Diaspora," in which he argued that non-Jews were
>> "completely evil" and that Jews constituted a separate, genetically
>> superior species. The book was condemned by many reform and conservative
>> rabbis in the US as manifestly racist and incompatible with normative
>> Jewish religious thinking. However, major Jewish organizations in Israel
>> and North America, such as Agudat Yisrael, refused to condemn the book.
>>
>> In Israel, numerous Orthodox Zionist rabbis, many of them graduates of
>> and lecturers at Merkaz Harav, continue to teach the theologically
>> dubious concept that the ten commandments don't apply to non-Jews and
>> that, therefore, the Biblical commandments against committing murder,
>> theft, and lying don't cover non-Jews. For example, Rabbi Dov Lior,
>> Chairman of the Jewish Rabbinic Council, teaches that "there is no such
>> thing as enemy civilians in war time" "The law of our Torah is to have
>> mercy on our soldiers and to save them. This is the real moral behind
>> Israel's Torah and we must not feel guilty due to foreign morals," he was
>> quoted as saying by the Hebrew newspaper Ma'ariv in 2004.
>>
>> "A thousand non-Jewish lives are not worth a Jew's fingernail."
>> Lior is not a marginal figure in the Zionist religious establishment. I
>> asked Rabbi Menachem Froman, who himself has taught at Merkaz Harav,
>> about Lior's religious credentials and he told me that the man "is
>> considered among the most learned sages of the Torah." Earlier this year,
>> Rabbi David Batsri told followers that "it is impossible to mix the pure
>> with the impure. They (the Arabs) are a blight, a devil, a disaster. The
>> Arabs are donkeys, and we have to ask ourselves why God didn't create
>> them to walk on all four. Well, the answer is that they are needed to
>> build and clean. They don't have any place in our school."
>>
>> In May, 2007, Mordechai Elyahu, a former Chief Rabbi of Israel, issued an
>> edict that would permit the Israeli army to murder hundreds of thousands
>> of Palestinians . "If they don't stop after we kill 100, then we must
>> kill a thousand. And if they don't stop after 1,000, then we must kill
>> 10,000. If they still don't stop we must kill 100,000. Even a million.
>> Whatever it takes to make them stop."
>>
>> I don't believe that this repulsive extremism represents true Judaism,
>> the Judaism that is based on the Ten Commandments. Jewish traditions
>> relate the story of a heathen who came to Shammai with the request to be
>> accepted as a convert on condition that he was taught the whole Torah
>> while he stood on one foot. Shammai drove him away with the yard-stick he
>> was holding. Then the man went to Hillel with the same request. Hillel
>> told the man "what is hateful to yourself don't do to your fellow human
>> being. That is the whole of the Torah and the rest is commentary."
>>
>> Unfortunately, the rabbis of religious Zionism, including the so-called
>> Chabadim who have effectively replaced the Torah with a notoriously
>> racist manual called "Hatanya," pay no attention to such traditions. And
>> when they are reminded of them, they arrogantly claim that words such as
>> "man" or "human being" refer solely and exclusively to the "Jew."
>>
>> Besides, it is obvious that these fanatics only select the most racist
>> and most hateful texts from a huge body of scriptures, Biblical and
>> Talmudic, while utterly ignoring and shunning authentic texts, including
>> biblical texts, that urge Jews to treat kindly and justly non-Jews who
>> live in their midst.
>>
>> In addition, one wonders if these so-called religious leaders and "holy
>> men" understand what it means to rule that in wartime no holds are barred
>> and there is no such a thing as enemy civilians.
>>
>> Well, Adolph Hitler could have made the same argument to justify his
>> genocidal onslaught against Jews and non-Jews in Europe?
>>
>> Finally, I hope that moderate Jewish religious authorities will move to
>> challenge these extremist rabbis who I am convinced misrepresent Judaism
>> by presenting it as a religion of fire and blood and hate. God-fearing
>> rabbis should make it abundantly clear to Jews in Israel-Palestine that
>> harming innocent people is wrong.
>>
>> This is a paramount issue because if the ideology and theology of Merkaz
>> Harav are allowed to prevail, then Judaism itself will suffer immensely.
