Rabbi Weiss Condemns Recent Statement Of Former Zionist So Called "Chief
Rabbi" Ovadiah Yosef

Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews recoiled in disgust at the latest outburst of
hate speech from Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef, a former Sephardic so called "chief
rabbi" of the illegitimate Zionist State of "Israel", in which he called the
Palestinians "evil," and cursed them with death.

Rabbi Yisroel D. Weiss
"The Torah commands Jews to live peacefully with their non-Jewish neighbors
in all parts of the world. This sort of rhetoric is against the Almighty's
Torah, repugnant to say the least and dangerous," said Rabbi Yisroel Dovid
Weiss, of Neturei Karta International.
"This Rabbi and others like him do not and cannot represent Judaism or the
Torah, just as the Zionist State of "Israel", which is a rebellion against
the Almighty, cannot represent the Torah or world Jewry true to the Torah".
"This "rabbi" and his audience are Sephardic Jews, Jews from Arab countries.
If they only knew their own history, they would realize that Jews can and
did live peacefully with Arabs, for many centuries. When Jews were
persecuted, killed and expelled in Europe, the Arab countries provided a
safe haven and welcomed Jews with open arms. In Palestine as well, Jews
enjoyed this hospitality and Palestinians and Jews co-existed in harmony for
many centuries. It was only Zionism, with its theft and oppression of the
Palestinian people, that put an end to this co-existence".
"We are required by the Almighty, as stated in His Torah, to express our
gratitude and reciprocate for good bestowed upon us. How ironic, how tragic
and evil this is, that to expressly these Arab countries and these Arab
people, the opposite is being done and they are accused of being our
enemies".
"According to the Torah, Jews are in exile and are forbidden to have a state
of their own. Likewise we are forbidden to kill, steal and oppress etc.
another people. Therefore, as long as the Zionist state continues to exist,
we believe that there is no way true peace can be achieved. The Holy Land
must be returned to its rightful owners, the Palestinians".
"We pray for the speedy and peaceful dismantlement of the Zionist State of
Israel. At that time we will once again be able to truly co-exist in peace
and harmony, as was our long history. And at that time we will be able to
fulfill the Torah's "Mitzvah" commandment, of remembering and repaying the
good done to us".
"May we merit to see this soon in our days".
"Ultimately, may we merit to see the revelation of the glory of the
Almighty, when all humankind will serve the Almighty in harmony. Amen".

WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its full
capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not mean that I
agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL" means that I
believe it is important for the people of this planet to know about what
people think or do, even when what they think or do is completely stupid and
against our philosophy. When I selected articles in the past about stupid
Christian fundamentalists in America praying for rain, I am sure no
Rael-Science reader was stupid enough to believe that I was supporting
praying to change the weather. So, when I select articles which are in favor
of drugs, anti-semitic, anti-Jewish, racist, revisionist, or inciting hatred
against any group or religion, or any other stupid article, it does not mean
that I support them. It just means that it is important for all human beings
to know about them. Common sense, which is usually very good among our
readers, is good enough to understand that. When, like in the recent
articles on drug decriminalization, it is necessary to make it clearer, I
add a comment, which in this case was very clear: I support decriminalizing
all drugs, as it is stupid to throw depressed and sad people (as only
depressed and sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin their life with a
criminal record. That does not mean that there is any change to the Message
which says clearly that we must not use any drug except for medical
purposes. The same applies to the freedom of expression which must be
absolute. That does not mean again of course that I agree with anti-Jews,
antisemites, racists of any kind or anti-Raelians. But by knowing your
enemies or the enemies of your values, you are better equipped to fight
them. With love and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence of
the French philosopher Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you say, but
I will defend to the death your right to say it".

"Ethics"  is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.

There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history, 
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.

On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
