Oh, one of the tough guys of the AmeriKan MSM.
JERUSALEM — Israel was in an uproar yesterday over a refusal by Israeli theater artists to perform in West Bank Jewish settlements, and Palestinians were outraged by a virulently anti-Palestinian sermon by a Jerusalem rabbi, further fueling the atmosphere days before the expected resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks in Washington.
You know, I have noticed it is OKAY for JEWS to SPEW HATE SPEECH!
Anyone else, no, but Jews can run off at the mouth with bile and vile hatred and NO PROBLEM!
And may GOD BLESS the ISRAELI PERFORMERS for their PRINCIPLES in the face of a Nazi government.
The artists’ protest awakened internal debate in Israel over the legitimacy of the Jewish settlements.
Yeah, I'm not surprised this article is from the Israeli viewpoint. That's the way she started the whole thing.
The Palestinian government condemned the sermon delivered by the influential rabbi on Saturday in which he described the Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, as “evil’’ and called on God to strike “these Ishmaelites and Palestinians with a plague; these evil haters of Israel.’’
Excerpts of the sermon were broadcast on Israel Radio yesterday.
The Iraqi-born rabbi, Ovadia Yosef, 89, is the spiritual leader of the ultra-Orthodox Shas Party, which is a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government coalition.
A widely respected religious authority, Yosef is also known for his incendiary pronouncements against Arabs and homosexuals, among others.
Oh, he is a GAY-HATER, too?
Referring to Abbas, the Palestinian Authority president, by his popular name, the rabbi said that “Abu Mazen and all these evil people should perish from this earth.’’
Actually, I agree with the statement -- with this a**hole first in line.
The chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, said in a statement that the rabbi was “literally calling for a genocide against Palestinians’’ and “for the assassination of President Abbas.’’
Well, it IS OFFICIAL ISRAELI POLICY!
Netanyahu stopped short of condemning the rabbi’s remarks....
Of course he did; it's government policy!
And imagine if a Muslim had called for wiping out all the Jews.
Then Netanyahu would be front and center condemning it, blah, blah, blah.
Sorry, readers, but I have lost my enthusiasm for this s*** Zionist propaganda.
More than 50 Israeli actors and playwrights signed a letter Thursday to the managements of six Israeli theaters protesting plans to stage productions in a new performing arts center scheduled to open in the urban settlement of Ariel in November.
The artists asked the theater managers to limit their activity to sovereign Israeli territory within the 1967 lines.
:-)
Which just goes to show you what TRULY VITUPERATIVE and PUNITIVE A**HOLES run the state of Israel!
No wonder NO ONE LIKES THEM!!
