Rabbis call for extermination camps for Palestinians.

    Another source...
    Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party on Sunday accused Jewish rabbis in Israel of calling for religious conflicts and "racial terrorism."

    The "racist, bloody tone" in the Israeli religious speech implies "actual dangers" on the Palestinians, said Jamal Nazzal, a member of Fatah Revolutionary Council.

    His remarks came after an Israeli news website published some quotes from a decree signed by major rabbis in Israel, calling for the creation of "death camps" for the Palestinians.

    The news site, Ynet, highlighted a weekly magazine distributed in synagogues across Israel. The magazine published the decree, which considers the concentration camps for the Palestinians as a religious duty.

    The settlers are the most extreme Israelis you can get.This is like quoting the BNP and passing it off as British policy.

    The Palestinians and other Arab states have a stated goal of destroying Israel and driving the Jews into the sea.They have actually tried it a few times with sneak attacks such as Yom Kippur and we are outraged by a few radical rabbis ?:rolleyes:

    We're "outraged" by the settlements whereby these kind of people get to occupy land and are backed by a modern state.

    The article does point out that these are extremists, and thus not exactly representative of the Israeli population as a whole.

    Every society will have its nutters. As long as they're just preaching to each other, no great harm done.

    NTM
    The problem is that it is Rabbis who are preaching this crap, and not just some nutter on their verson O'Connell street on a Saturday afternoon.

    Rabbis, as if you did not know, are held in very high esteem by the Israelis. This is akin to a Catholic priest of the 1970's calling for death camps for NI protestants.

    They're all a shower of bleed'n nutter's over there.

    Let 'em all at each other for all I care.

    Honestly never thought I'd hear you call Israelis "nutters".

    Once again, this isn't being done by radical politicians. It's religious leaders.
    If there is one country in the West with experience of religious leaders holding sway over political matters, it's Ireland.

    What you have in Israel is a state created by former colonial powers. It's no different to most of Africa.
    What's sad is that African countries were created in a similar way.
    Indigenous people being displaced from their homes.
    The only difference is that Africans don't have a Hitler to cite for their troubles. They're also mostly black, so they have very little say in U.S. politics, and don't have the power of the Jewish lobby.

    Israel, in my opinion is no better than Germany under Hitler. They're just more insidious in their ways.
    They walked onto Palestinian land in 1948, told the people living there to GTFO and then cried when the locals fought back.

    **** Israel.

    Israel is a racist/apartheid state, and it got where it is today through military might, a historical programme of ethnic cleansing and ongoing policies designed to put the Palestinians under intolerable pressure.

    However, there are many moderate and dissenting voices in Israel, and the worst extremists (who for example regard the Palestinians as the ancient Amalek enemy and therefore a legitimate target for extermination), while influential in certain quarters, are by no means a dominant group.

    The BNP analogy does not hold up though, in my opinion, because the BNP does not have the same level of power and influence as their 'equivalents' in Israel.

    Same old anti Israel rabble.The Israelis were driven off that land hundreds of years before.Who was there first,no one knows.If you stand an Israeli and a Palestinian side by side I would like to see you tell which is which,they are the same tribe divided by religion.(surprise surprise)

    No one is addressing the issue of all the Arab states that preach for the outright destruction of the Jews and Israel itself. It is government policy and religious edict in some states.

    The settlements are on land that was kept as a "buffer zone" such as the golan heights to prevent the Arabs carrying out sneak attacks.I dont agree with the settlements but there are two sides to this conflict.Try living in Iraq as a practising Catholic,in fact try it in most Arab countries and come back and tell us about the racist Israeli regime.

    In many cases I probably couldn't distinguish by appearances.

    But stand them side by side and compare their socio-economic status, educational opportunities, working & living conditions...

    And mullahs are held in high esteem by Afghans. That's not say that if one is a little 'out there' that the locals will not form their own opinion of him, even if he is guaranteed a certain amount of immunity by virtue of his position.

    Even then they can go too far. There was one that was evicted from his 'parish' by his 'parishioners' in our area.
    Honestly never thought I'd hear you call Israelis "nutters".

    I'll call anyone a nutter if I think, in my untrained layman mind, that they are one. The fact that this particular nutter is an Israeli is a bit beside the point, what's more important is his apparently rather uncharitable opinion towards his neighbours.

    NTM

    ....

    ......

    For one thing, thats primarily the non-Arab Iran you seem to be describing. Its under a ream of international sanctions and its a persona non-grata with the majority of the developed nations on the planet, particularily those in the West. Syria is also under a number of embargos.

    Israel, despite its activities, is not under any form of sanction at all. Why should people be worked up about a pariah state thats constantly being dealt with and ignore another malefactor that seems to be immune to consequence?

    There are peace treaties between Israel, Egypt and Jordan. The only thing preventing Syria signing up is the Golan, and negotiations are conducted in secret.

    Besides all that, and even if the worst excesses of Iran were true of all the Arab states (and I don't recall anyone here championing them as somehow noble and worthy examples of how nations should be run), how would that excuse the systematic colonisation of the Occupied Territories and the brutalisation of the Palestinians therein? If the next door neighbours batter their children, do I get a free pass to batter mine?

    International borders and states are not defined by 2000 year old land claims. Many groups have resided in the land over the millenia, it doesn't give a claim validity. What gives legitimacy is what you are entitled to under contemporary international law.

    Also, the Jebusites, a Caananite tribe, were in the area before the Israelites. It is a miconception that Jerusalem was established by the Israelites.

    With the exception of a Palestinian Israel, I'd probably make a good stab at telling the difference between a Palestinian and an Israeli and would probably be right 9 times out of 10.

    You're ignoring the fact that in 2002 EVERY Arab state offered Israel full peace, full recognition and full normalisation of relations for a return to its legal borders. This offer has been repeated a number of times but has essentially been ignored.

    I find it an incredibly odd justification for settlements that they are a buffer to protect Israeli citizens. It defies logic. How does it protect Israelis to put civilians in a hostile area to protect Israelis? There is no defensive justication for settlements.

    As for the main topic of the thread, while the view of the Rabbis is more extreme than what is normally stated, there is a insidious undercurrent gathering momentum in Israel. Rabbis stating it is forbidden to rent to (Israeli) Arabs in Safed, polls showing that employers prefering not to employ Arabs and that many people don't want to live next to Arabs or homosexuals, community committees refusing to allow Arabs to live in their areas, the proposed loyalty oath, the spiritual leader of a government party saying that the Palestinians and Abbas should perish, the same leader stating that non-Jews were born to serve the Jews, protests in Bat Yam against Jewish women dating Arab men, the current witch hunt of Israeli human rights groups, the shift to the right and growing extremism in the Israeli political system, etc....

    This is a very worrying trend and a lot of Israelis are very worried about the future diection that the country is going in. However, the population as a whole is becoming more religious and intolerant. With the collapse of the left and the strengthening of the religious right I can't see things getting better, but worse. I hope that I a wrong.



    Hopefully be back on the Lebanese/Israeli border this summer.. Lovely countries, Lebanon and Israel.
    Inshallah.

    What I think the really sad part is; if this was true and they actually set up the death camps the rest of the world would discuss it and bemoan it and talk about it and stand by and do ****ing nothing, much like Darfur :(. Rather than be outraged by possible atrocities why not be outraged by the ones that are actually occuring? Like that fact that there exists today between 12 and 20 million people held in slavery.

    What's worrying in this is the fact that the Orthodox are growing at a much faster rate than the moderate Jews in Israel. The orthodox traditionally hold a lot of political strength due to their high voter turnout and the fact its necessary to sweeten the deal for them to draw them into a usually coalition government. This in effect means that they get huge social welfare payouts to continue their non-productive way of living which increase a lot per child - hence the having many many children.

    So if this type of sentiment is growing in this community, the country could really be in for a nasty surprise in a few years. On the other hand, the ultra-orthos don't really like military and are therefore more talk than action, so if they become too powerful in the country, its probably more likely to see an actual proper split and declaration of two independent states.

    Also, the Jebusites, a Caananite tribe, were in the area before the Israelites. It is a miconception that Jerusalem was established by the Israelites. Which is my point,nobody can claim the land because it has changed hands so many times yet people only see the "legitimate" Palestinian claim


    With the exception of a Palestinian Israel, I'd probably make a good stab at telling the difference between a Palestinian and an Israeli and would probably be right 9 times out of 10.

Of course the condition based on UN Resolution 194 (which calls for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict and resolves that any refugees "wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbors" should be able to do so or if they otherwise wish to be provided with compensation)." would effectively end Jewish Israel, I would ignore it too

    The Israelis were nomads. Their holy book says so. The same holy book that says that Israel belongs to them.
    All this crap is based on a 6,000 year old book written by people eating funky Cacti.

    I will.
    They're ****. All of those preaching that crap are complete and utter *****.
    In saying that, two wrongs don't make a right.

    Yes, there are two sides to this conflict, but, once again, two wrongs do not make a right.

    The Israelis are quite clearly abusing their power over the Palestinians. How people cannot see this fact is beyond me.
    The continue to force Palestinian out of their homes, and then wonder why the Palestinians are fighting back. The ignorance and lack of action by the civilised world defies all logic.
    When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, the world ran to aid the Kuwaitis, but nothing is being done to stop Israel from doing the same thing.

    We can all sit back and criticise Hamas, but they are the SF of Gaza.
    Yeah, SF is a dirty word in today's Ireland, but it wasn't back in 1920.
    Try living in Iraq as a practising Catholic,in fact try it in most Arab countries and come back and tell us about the racist Israeli regime.
    Are you now, or have you ever been a practicing Catholic living in Iraq?

    I said "Israeli's are nutters", where?.

    Maybe we should ask the Poles to reopen Auschwitz for the Israeli's. As the camp is still fairly intact they would save a lot of money by not having to build a new one from scratch. It would also create a lot of jobs in Poland and the Israeli's could always use those ships that they pirated on the high seas recently to transport those pesky Palestinians. The last experiment in colonialism must succeed regardless of cost! :D

    These would be the exception rather than the rule really. I can assure you that I would have a pretty high average in differentiating the two.

    All resolutions call for the resolution of the conflict through the relevant legal parameters. Resolutions call for a solution to the conflict in accordance with UN 242 and 338. Does this mean that Israel will completely withdraw to the pre June 1967 borders in any peace agreement, unlikely.

    These resolutions will form the basis for an agreement but not be implemented absolutely. Many aspects of UN194 will be implemented along the lines of the Clinton parameters and the Geneva initiative such as the return of a token number of Palestinians to Israel and compensation for the rest, as UN 194 states.
    11. Resolves that the refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible;
    It is highly unlikely that every Palestinian refugee who has lived or whose decendents have lived and built lives in the surrounding countries and further afield will drop their existing lives and move to Israel. Financial compensation will most likely form the basis of the vast majority of cases.

    Even though the UN and the Quartet cite the Arab peace initiative as one of the mean for achieving a comprehensive peace, the Israeli government barely acknowledged its existence.

    A buffer zone indicates an ares by which two sides are kept seperate. Settlements fundamentally undermine this concept as they place Israeli citizens within Palestinian areas. There are ways to implemenet buffer zones militarily without requiring the transfer of a civilian population to the area, a violation of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Just look at North and South Korea for example.
