in case you asked: no he was not trying to prove Darwin's theory http://card.wordpress.com/2007/02/26/racist-rabbi-compares-blacks-to-monkeys/
This is Rabbi Mordechai Yitzchok Friedman. Shlita, President of the American Board of Rabbis. he has a blog online: http://home.earthlink.net/~judaism/index.html
This comes from the front page of the American Board of Rabbis website: "Sometimes controversial,the American Board Of Rabbis takes on issues on behalf of Jews,Judaism & Israel that no other rabbinical organization in America has the zealous fortitude to tackle!" I guess this video is an example of their "zealous fortitude". Sounds like hate speech to me.
Attention seeking people make controversial statements Attention giving people and media make a fuss about it Media and attention seeking people make bucks from it Attention giving people waste their time and fill their own minds with hate make sense ?
This is surprising to me since most Rabbi's are known to be quite tolerent and even liberal. I am a bit shocked by this.
I really don't know anything about this or the organization this Rabbi is the president of but from what I saw on their website it appears to me that this guy represents a radical minority.
"The Arabs are Donkeys and Beasts" "The nation of Israel is pure and the Arabs are a nation of donkeys. They are an evil disaster, an evil devil, and a nasty affliction. The Arabs are donkeys and beasts. They want to take our girls. They are endowed with true filthiness. There is pure and there is impure and they are impure." --Rabbi David Batzri, head of the Magen David Yeshiva in Jerusalem [Israeli newspaper Haaretz, March 21, 2006] "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail." Rabbi Yaacov Perrin, Feb. 27, 1994 [N.Y. Times, Feb. 28, 1994, p. 1]
What is your point with these qoutes and your post? That some radical Jewish person said horrible things about Muslims? I'm sure it would not take much to find quotes from a radical Muslim who had horrible things to say about Jews. Is there a point to be made here or are you just spreading hate?
no, not all Rabbis are like these I know, there are Rabbis who are friends to Muslims, but it really bothered me, how MEMRI TV quotes Muslim clerics, and mistranslates what they say, and people here quote it without even checking and paste it here on DP then add their hateful comments, just to spread hate against Muslims, and find in it an open season to say bad words against Islam, Quran, and the prophet pbuh.
I guess he doesn't like the African Jews. http://www.freemaninstitute.com/Gallery/lemba.htm Racist are in every religion. If there are any fellow African Americans, or Africans here, don't take it personal. Most Jews are not like that. And what proof do we have that was even a Jew? He looked of Arab decent to me. With a terrible Jewish accent. Here's a better link http://www.freemaninstitute.com/TFIav.htm
Ok, I get it. People were spreading hate against Muslims so you wanted to balance it out with some hate against Jews. That will show em.
not really, those who were spreading it is MEMRI TV, belongs to the same group that Rabbi belongs to.
Israel is racist, do not try to defend them, even Ethiopian Jews says it, they stand behind MEMRI TV, they should be fair I guess and show their negativities too, not only cherry-pick, and even worse mistranslates: source
Yeah, someone who searches for this type of stuff just so they can post on DP. The link he found is the no. 1 link when you search for "racist rabbi". Gee, I wonder what he was looking for? It is an interesting person who goes looking for negative things to post about another religion, trying desperately to find anything to make his own religion look better by comparison. Somehow I don't think he is looking to find a fair representation using the search he is doing. http://www.google.com/search?q=racist+rabbi Ding Ding Ding, winner. I guess in his world, trying to make Jews look bad is his way of making Islam look better. Whatever.
