What's this?
Chief Rabbi of Safed Shmuel Eliyahu called on the state of Israel on Wednesday to hang the sons of the terrorist who killed eight yeshiva students at Mercaz Harav.

"A state that really respects the lives of its citizens would have hung the ten sons of the terrorist on a tree 50 amot [25 meters] tall so that others would see it and be afraid," wrote Eliyahu, referring to the Book of Ester's depiction of the way the Jews of ancient Persia took revenge against Haman and his ten sons by hanging them.
Eliyahu's comments will appear this weekend in a Hebrew-language pamphlet called Eretz Yisrael Shelanu [The Land of Israel Belongs to Us] that is distributed in thousands of synagogues across the nation.
"I am not talking about individuals," stipulated Eliyahu. "I am talking about the state of Israel that needs to make them hurt until they scream 'enough'. Until they lay sprawled on the ground groveling 'help us'...We have to extract a revenge that is so painful it will burn into their souls the message of all our enemies that Jewish blood is more valuable than gold and platinum."
Eliyahu stressed that the aim of the revenge was solely to achieve deterrence. He added that the Torah's prohibitions against revenge referred solely to individuals, not to states.
On the national level "revenge is necessary. Every state that is attacked takes revenge. The US, Russia, Turkey and India, all European state and even Third World countries take revenge. Does the entire world have it wrong and only the Israeli Left have it right? The Israeli Left is tired. It has lost its will to live. We have to remove those tired Leftists from political leadership and send them to the old age home and choose leaders that know true morality."
Rabbi Gilad Kariv, legal advisor for the Reform Movement in Israel said in response that "Jewish history is full of zealots whose zealotry has brought tragedies upon the people while bringing about the moral corruption of the Jewish people.
"Unlike deterrence, revenge should be shunned by Israel as a democratic country of law and order and as the state of the Jewish people. It is hoped that the Jewish people, enjoying a renaissance in its land, will have the sense to expel from its midst dangerous extremists like Rabbi Eliyahu.
"Rabbi Eliyahu's recent comments prove once again that the Attorney General made a big mistake when he decided to rescind an indictment against him for incitement to racism in exchange for a dubious retraction."

Zealots at least had good intentions; althou sometimes they brought the harm Gilad Kariv acts like clasic Hellenist bowing to the idols of (post) western humanitarism aka cultural marxism. Torah aside when you're fighting A-rabs muslimes you must use A-rab methods or you'll be outmanuvred and terrorised.

True it's the only language they understand

An unusually righteous message coming from Israel. Of course, this is Rav Shmuel Eliyahu! Yes, it's time to wipe out the Amalekite's seed.
-
He is the son of Harav Mordechai Eliyahu Shlita, Former Sephardic (Of course) Chief Rabbi of Israel. They both supported Rabbi Kahane.

Yes, this is a man with common sense. O0

Great article Mord! I Love it!! I feel good just reading it. And this Rabbi is right on the money. I have a feeling, this is the kind of Rabbi that won't let a man down and give a man good advice on things. I don't have a Rabbi, and I'm not religious, but a Rabbi like this would get me to join his synogogue in a heartbeat. A Rabbi like this could get me to do something, and I'm not the toughest guy on the street.
I hope those Bolshevik kikes don't put him in jail for saying it and writing it.

Rav Shmuel Eliyahu is a tzadik. I wish the Rebbe would have said things like this. People listened to him. When he asked for something it was done. If only JTF had this power.

One of the only true Rabbis out there. Too bad he wasn't around last generation, as he appears much more direct than his father and would have actually come to the Rav's aid when the Rav needed it.

That and Arabic! I made a joke like that one time. My friends thought it was hilarious!

Rav Eliyahu, what a tzaddik and what words of truth.
Why does that reform "rabbi" think he's an authority on anything Jewish? Israelis laugh at his pathetic movement. He can't fool them like he can fool American Jews, and comments like these will reduce membership to zero in Israel. What a fool.

Makes sense since the sons and family of the dirty filthy terrorist DOGS are celebrated! They should suffer and will suffer in this life and the next.
They already suffering to the point I'm almost sorry for them they coud live as decent human beings instead of being koranic zombies; then i turn on TV on another bloody offering from the religion of piss and I want them suffer more phisicly. I always said we coud do the good thing for muslims by nuking the Mecca and their other "Holy sites" and buldorising every mosque and madrasa to brake the yoke of sharia on their societies but now after Iranian islamic revolution it's too late for such subtle actions.
