Het hoofd van de sefardische geestelijk leider in Israel Eliyahu die zijn volgelingen oproept tot Joods terrorisme.Het is bekend: God's wegen zijn ondergrondelijk en zelden aangenaam. Nog onaangenamer zijn stervelingen die namens hun luchtgod anderen aansporen tot het plegen van terreur, of dit nu christenen, joden of moslims zijn. De hoogste sefardische geestelijk leider in Israel is voor bommentapijten op Gaza. Dat wordt gesanctioneerd door het heilige boek, zo heeft deze rabbijn laten weten. The Jerusalem Post bericht:
'Eliyahu advocates carpet bombing Gaza
All civilians living in Gaza are collectively guilty for Kassam attacks on Sderot, former Sephardi chief rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu has written in a letter to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Eliyahu ruled that there was absolutely no moral prohibition against the indiscriminate killing of civilians during a potential massive military offensive on Gaza aimed at stopping the rocket launchings.
The letter, published in Olam Katan [Small World], a weekly pamphlet to be distributed in synagogues nationwide this Friday, cited the biblical story of the Shechem massacre (Genesis 34) and Maimonides' commentary (Laws of Kings 9, 14) on the story as proof texts for his legal decision.
According to Jewish war ethics, wrote Eliyahu, an entire city holds collective responsibility for the immoral behavior of individuals. In Gaza, the entire populace is responsible because they do nothing to stop the firing of Kassam rockets.
The former chief rabbi also said it was forbidden to risk the lives of Jews in Sderot or the lives of IDF soldiers for fear of injuring or killing Palestinian noncombatants living in Gaza.
Eliyahu could not be reached for an interview. However, Eliyahu's son, Shmuel Eliyahu, who is chief rabbi of Safed, said his father opposed a ground troop incursion into Gaza that would endanger IDF soldiers. Rather, he advocated carpet bombing the general area from which the Kassams were launched, regardless of the price in Palestinian life.
"If they don't stop after we kill 100, then we must kill a thousand," said Shmuel Eliyahu. "And if they do not stop after 1,000 then we must kill 10,000. If they still don't stop we must kill 100,000, even a million. Whatever it takes to make them stop." '

Terroristen zijn er in vele vormen en vele maten. God zij met hen. Morgen zal ik tertugkomen op de visie van de Nederlandse rabbijn Soetendorp, die vrijdag in Den Haag publiekelijk demonstreerde dat hij volledig achter Israel staat. Tot nu toe heb ik hem geen enkele fundamentele kritiek horen geven op de Israelische oorlogsmisdaden.
