I can imagine the shrieking and hollering if this guy were mohammedan. But he's Jewish, so ...

This guy's a flaming jackass and a racist. Does his idiotic bigotry represent mainstream Judaism? Where are the Jews condemning him? Are the rest of us to take their silence as assent?

Does his idiotic bigotry represent mainstream Judaism?

I'm sure the scorched-earth apologists for Israel and all things Jewish here at FR will tell you "no." But this Yosef guy was *the* most prominent religious leader for Sephardi Jews in the world for ten years. Imagine if an archbishop or a Billy Graham had said something like that. The media would be talking about incessantly for the decade.

“Silence”?! Even in the article, there’s a Jewish organization that condemned him. You saying “where’s the Jews condemning him” is obviously wrong.

This is rediculously rare in the Jewish community, and it’s always condemned by the most prominent when words of the comments comes out.

Mainstream Judaism doesn’t have this idea. Notice that he doesn’t quote scripture when he says this; neither Torah nor Talmud or anything else. He’s just saying it from his own mouth.
