By calling on a plague on all palestinians who persecute Israel, he in effect called for the death of all so-called palestinians, because I do not believe their is a single so-called palestinians who does not persecute Israel.
The spiritual leader of one of Israel's ruling parties has appealed to G-d to inflict the plague on Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, days before new peace talks begin in Washington.
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef is the spiritual head of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, one of the parties that makes up Israel's ruling coalition.
In his weekend sermon he said "May all the nasty people who hate Israel vanish from our world", and named Mahmoud Abbas.
"May G-d strike them down with the plague, along with all Palestinians who persecute Israel."
Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat has condemned the remarks as an incitement to genocide and questioned how he could effectively call for the Palestinian leader's assassination while the Israeli government prepares for peace talks.
The office of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed the rabbi's comments.
The US State Department said the rabbi's comments were "deeply offensive".
