Outside his religious preaching, Rabi Yosef is against freeze on Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territories; wishes Mahmoud Abbas and "evil" Palestinian "perish from this world" preferably "with plague" -- perhaps saving Israeli bombs for Hezbollah, Hamas, Syrians and Iranians!
These are the words and prayers of "liberal" Israeli "spiritual' leader. Mind you! "Spiritual' leader -- who in piousness and godliness, far above common-place religious leaders, is perceived to be "on hotline with God.'
It should be no surprise if Rabi Yosef, together with other religious parties, known for political bargaining, bargains with Netanyahu for his life long dream of running Israel on Halakha. Why not? If, as a small minority, Jews can run their affairs for decades now according to Moses' Sharia in Brooklyn, why not in their own "democratic" country!
Obama says
"Israel wants peace with its neighbors more than anything else." Yes,
until it is fully done with oppressing half of
its own population -- women.
Also, there is a job cut for Mitt Romney for his Mormonic
beliefs should he intend to fulfill his promise and pick up phone and ask
Netanyahu or his "Spiritual" head, "What do you like me to do?" In return,
Netanyahu and Rabi Josef could oblige him finish off with his "useless eaters" through
a call to AIPAC or preferably by responding to Andrew Adler's call.
Meantime if you are surprised at America silently acquiescing Israeli government permitting open discrimination against their women and insult of legal institutions, you better re-define American concept of "democracy" and "woman rights."
