Arab organization calls on attorney general to launch investigation against ultra-Orthodox author of article that refers to Arabs as 'cult of murderers, savages, worse than Nazis'

Adalah, the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, has approached Attorney General Menachem Mazuz Saturday evening and demanded that he launch an investigation against the haredi author of an article that refers to Arabs as "a cult of murderers, savages, and a loathsome nation whose prophet is a false prophet."

In the article, published in the ultra-Orthodox newspaper "Hassidic World", author Yitzhak Ben-Zvi writes that "the Arabs are a people similar to donkeys… they are a vile nation of savages… they have a great desire to murder and are even worse than the Nazi enemy."

The article analyzes Torah rulings, and presents the alleged opinion of a Jewish scholar, who claims that "the hatred and cruelty of the Arabs, may they be damned, towards the Jews surpasses even that of the Nazis," and that "the hatred to the Arabs should have naturally been etched in our hearts."

Throughout the article, the writer refers to the Arabs as stupid, hypocrite, and uncivilized. in a separate clause, Ben-Zvi refers to Muhammad as a false prophet.

The affair was first revealed in the Israeli-Arab newspaper Kul al-Arab, which quoted the article. According to Adalah, the article is packed with severe racial incitement, slander, and insults to the religious sensitivities of the Muslims living in Israel.

Attorney Abeer Baker, who represents the organization, stated that "the article's messages are basically of a racist nature, and their sheer purpose is the humiliation and mockery of Arabs, especially Muslims, merely because of their national and religious affiliation."

...and..."they are a vile nation of savages… they have a great desire to murder and are even worse than the Nazi enemy."

You can't say that about a donkey!

This is fighting fire with fire. The islamofascists can dish it out but, like the wussie cowards they are, can't take it.

Arabs and democrats have a lot of similar traits.

Referring to Arabs in the collective sense and stating that they all adhere to certain negative stereotypes is the very definition of racism, if you don't believe me try inserting 'Jews' in place of Arabs and alter the stereotype to those that pertain to Jews and you should be able to understand what I mean. I'm not one for political correctness, but it is quite obvious that the article in question goes well beyond the pale.

Am I missing something?? Since when is a religious affiliation a "racial" one? Does this mean Catholics or Protestants can't quit their 'race'? ...or does it mean they can change it?

Enough of the Islamists waving this PC horsedung. If the shoe fits...

Racism? Since when are Muslims a race? I thought it was a religious ideology. I have seen Negro Muslims, Semitic Muslims, Caucasian Muslims, Asian Muslims …

What did HE (G-d) say that was not true? Nothing.
God's Word is true and His Word will never perish though men will try.

Genesis 16:12 And he shall be a wild man, his hand against every man.

Sometimes the truth hurts!

To read a good article on Islime, go to yourarmstoisrael.org and select "sermon notes" and pull up "The Final End Time Beast". Print and save for future reference.

Let's just say that the result of their policies and ideologies are the same: the destruction of Western civilization. Arabs (at least the more militant ones) would prefer to do it aggressively, while Democrats would do it non-militarily if they could.

I find this offensive. Donkeys are stubborn, but loyal servants to man, and don't attack and kill humans. Arabs are murderous savages, who kill for no reason at all. In this they are unlike any animal in God's kingdom. There is only one world for Arab Muslims: evil.

What did he say that is not true?

"And he shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against everyone, and everyone's hand against him."

It looks like Mr. Ben-Zvi has been pegged as a dangerous thought criminal. Nothing is more detrimental to the 21st Century PC society than truth.

If you like It or not saying that Arabs are people similar to donkeys IS racism according to any serious standards.
