Is not this the same "rabbi" who blamed most of the Jewish problems on masturbation and claimed that if not for masturbation it would be 500 million Jews alive nowadays?

Leading Rabbi... LOL. More like leading kook.

Just Googled him: First 3 hits tell me he leads "anti-mosquito" prayers, performs exorcisms and is an all round entrepeneur. The only people who take him seriously are his fellow ultra-orthodox crazies

Here's a sample from Google cache - "Holy Hands-off Job:

The Holy Land is credited with being the birthplace of all three major monotheistic religions. But in recent years, it has become a magnet for unorthodox interpretations of scripture. That's where Rabbi David Batzri of Tel Aviv, Israel, comes in. It seems that the Rabbi recently began advertising his services to a special group of sinners. He specializes in blessing designed to save obsessive masturbators from being possessed by the devil.

Homosexuals and lesbians are not only a sickness, they are an abomination ....

So far so good.

OK OK I know this might be a minor point but gays and lesbians are homosexuals. Gay and lesbian are their words. Homosexual is what they are: male or female. . Not lesbians and homosexuals or gay homosexual or lesbian homosexual. It is simply homosexual

No way this guy is a "leading Rabbi". We also have our embarassments in the Christian faith that no one pays any serious attention to.

[Double Eagle Sword of Justice]

This Rabbi is nuts if he really believes that. I don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle choice. But I would never call for executing them. No doubt the liberals are going to pounce on this and scream about what 'homophobes' religious conservatives are. There needs to be a balance between tolerance but also rebuke for their unhealthy choice.

There's no prohibition against Lesbianism in the bible. Also, the prohibition isn't against "being gay," it's against homosexual intercourse between men.

In the torah, someone can only be put to death on the testimony of two or more witnesses.

Funny, hitler thought the same way. What is next, leading Rabbi calls for the extermination of palistinians?

[RaceBannon]

That is exactly what the law says, he is right on that!
