“The remarks, as they’ve been reported, were indeed over the top”
Oh really? Over the top only according to the modern lefty-lib standards where tolerance and non-violence are virtues even when faced with evil.
And if you don’t think the palis are evil, what do you call then a nation of anti-semitic savages, one where pretty close to every man, woman and child supports terrorist attacks aimed at killing jews any which way possible? They have made it abundantly clear time and again that when presented the choices of developing their country and securing a future for their children, and killing jews at the cost of the former, they choose the second without hesitation.
What do they deserve then? Perhaps truckloads of aid money from the UN (that is, from you) and then they will graciously accept peace? Sorry - tried that already, no good. This is not like the mob that you can pay and stay safe. This is a genocidal death cult that will not stop killing (or trying to) as long as there are jews to kill. If that does not fit the definition of evil, I don’t know what does.
Not long ago if any great power among western civilization was faced with such murderous scum as Israel is faced with today, not only would the overwhelming majority have hoped for the savages to die and not been ashamed of it, but there would be no waiting for some divine intervention to make it happen... It would be done and dealt with and the surviving savages would know better than to continue their murderous activities.
Sounds like Nazi Germany.
In fact, another one of the eccentric proclamations by this aged eccentric - when he decided to give a history lesson - was that the people who died in the Holocaust were wicked people who had been reincarnated for that very purpose.
In his recent tirade, he actually said that he wanted all the Palestinians to die of plague.
Some time ago, Chicago Hebrew said that Rabbi Ovidah ought not to be heeded, because he is too old and his mind is gone. I did not agree at that time, but by now, it does look as if ChicagoH is right.
The headchoppers and their sympathizers being “offended” is extremely hilarious.
This must be satire.
This strong conservative Republican, Jewish supporter of Israel knows enough to recognize that there are plenty of good Pals. 99% of Israelis would wholeheartedly agree and would strongly disagree with your statement.
The sad thing is that Yosef’s statements are being taken seriously. He has little clout in the rabbinical world and less in the political one.
We have to differentiate between a murderous so-called government and a whole group of people. Two very different entities.
