Guess who is funding the rabbi who endorses killing gentile babies?

By Akiva Eldar
Tags: Yaakov Teitel

Right-wing spokesmen, including some elected officials, rushed to place Yaakov "Jack" Teitel in the fringe group alongside Yigal Amir, Eden Natan Zada, Eliran Golan, Asher Weisgan, Danny Tikman and a few other "political/ideological" murderers.

True, they acknowledge, there are among us several lunatic rabbis who agitate to violence. Really, just a handful; even a toddler could count them.

The more stringent will note that unlike the Hamas government, our government does not pay the salaries of rabbis who advocate the killing of babies.

Is that so? Not really.

For example, government ministries regularly transfer support and funding to a yeshiva whose rabbi determined that it is permissible to kill gentile babies "because their presence assists murder, and there is reason to harm children if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us ... it is permissible to harm the children of a leader in order to stop him from acting evilly ... we have seen in the Halakha that even babies of gentiles who do not violate the seven Noahide laws, there is cause to kill them because of the future threat that will be caused if they are raised to be wicked people like their parents."

1. What a tangled web is woven, and more's the pity that most americans
won't even begin to suspect the impact of this news, much less ever hear it, see it, or read it.

2. I have thought that the road the politicians wereleading us was the battle to be fought
However everyday that goes by it seems something more is coming out of the religions.

I now feel that the battle or war is going to be fought over religion in this country. People will kill each other more and more as time goes by if something is not done. The religious go around saying anything they want and say if you question them you are infringing on their religion.

The people that follow the faith of their church are the ones that really scare me. When I say this it is the churches that promote a god of war, hate, intolerance, greed, evil. I grew up learning of a god of love, compassion, help the needy, help the sick, treat people like you want to be treated. This is not the god that these people believe in.

3. This justifiable murder theology is found in all monotheistic religions
Genocide is not genocide when sanctioned, even commanded, by GAWD.

4. Should we judge every rabbi and/or Jewish person by the actions of these fanatics?
Of course not...but that is exactly what is happening to many people of the Islam faith.

6. The only difference is that so called "progressives"
only scream if the people of the Muslim faith are painted with the broad brush (all terrorists, etc).

They seem to have no problem whatsoever judging all Jews or rabbis based on actions of a few.

It's that old double standard again.

8. Didn't GAWD order King Saul to commit genocide?
In the Book of Samuel, GAWD commanded Saul to slaughter every living thing: men, women, children, babies, the elderly, even their livestock. This genocidal GAWD was the same asshole that sat on his holy ass and did nothing while the nazis slaughtered millions of innocent people.

You can't say it is an issue of using a broad brush, when the much revered holy books have accounts of the deity ordering mass murder.

On the other hand, one could say that GAWD is a man-made creation, and as such, he is just as capable of brutality and compassion as the human race that created him is.

10. UTTER NONSENSE! If the gov't of Israel is funding these fanatics, isn't it reasonable
to ask WHY?

No one is painting anyone with anything.
