Influential Israel Rabbi: Palestinians Should Perish with a Plague
An influential Israeli rabbi is coming under criticism after he gave a sermon Saturday in which he prayed for all Palestinians to perish in plague. Rabbi Ovadia Yosef is the founder of the Shas party, part of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government.
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef: "May our enemies and haters end. Abu Mazen and all these evil people should perish from this earth. God should strike them and these Palestinians — evil haters of Israel — with a plague."
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef’s comments come just days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas are scheduled to begin direct talks in Washington. Palestinian Authority spokesperson Ghassan Khatib condemned the Rabbi’s remarks.
Ghassan Khatib: "The statement that we heard from Ovadia Yosef is a racist incitement statement that is responsible for increasing the hatred and deepening the racist attitude among the Israeli society." http://www.democracynow.org/2010/8/30/headlines#8306
And any rabbi who does not condemn Rabbi Yosef's genocidal remarks should be considered to be in his league! I ask all Jews to resign from that 'religion", that Farrakhan calls a gutter one.

That was August 30, 2010.
Quite ironic, and telling, that democracynow doesn't make provisions for readers to comment on their blog posts or the news they publish.

Another dead video. Should be able to find the same one uploaded by someone else.
