You do realize that pretty much every other rabbi has condemned Rabbi Yosef, right?
That article, as posted, contains a condemnation of Rabbi Ovadiah's statement by an American Jewish group. There have been other such statements, in regard to this pronouncement. Actually, I was not aware of him being condemned by any Israeli rabbinical groups.
Earlier, there was a milder controversy when Rabbi Ovadiah called for the death of the entire Palestinian population. The US govt did condemn those remarks as being unhelpful to the peace process (ya think?)
