1. he is right... sadly... but he is right. we must
David ,   Haifa Israel   (11.28.10)
be good to our neighbors... excpet when they try to kill us then we must exterminate them to the last... its in the Tanach
2. Palestinians: renting to Jews punishable by death
Brian ,   Judean Peoples Front   (11.28.10)
Any "human rights" organizations going to investigate why the Palestinians have a death sentence for doing the same thing to Jews? Anybody going to protest? No? I didn't think so... We already know that international human rights laws and treaties do not apply to the Palestinians, who can violate human rights with impunity.
3. he is right, esp if u consider economy
lukas   (11.28.10)
if more israelis were like him we would have peace
4. Discredited
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim,   (11.28.10)
B"H "Rabbi" Yuval Sherlo is a discredited figure in the Jewish world and the fact that Ynet's "Jewish World" quotes him - discredit the editors too.
5. Caring For Our Enemies? Absolutely Not
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (11.28.10)
The Arabs raising a "Palestinian" flag above a mosque in Safed showed their colors beyond the shadow of a doubt.
6. :: Renting to foreigners OK. To hateful enemies NO!
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (11.28.10)
7. renting to Arabs
Ray ,   Reno   (11.28.10)
sworn to kill you for the rent demented rubbish
8. Finally a voice of reason
R ,   Israel   (11.28.10)
9. does this one calls himself a rabbi?
disgusting ,   il   (11.28.10)
Go rent your house and what about the rabbi going to one of the arabs houses and renting and living there with his family- dont come back rabbi Herem on you
10. How about him letting the arabs use his
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.28.10)
yeshiva for a mosque? He can move his yeshiva to um al faham or taibe. Then we can hear the moslim call to prayer five times a day from the former yeshiva. Or perhaps turn the yeshiva into a church. I am sure that all the Jews in the neighborhood would like to hear the bells ringing. Take care of the stranger who is coming to murder you and steal your land,tight "rabbi"?
11. #4 YOU are discredited
Ex-Orthodox Jew ,   Israel   (11.28.10)
Hey there, settler, in you well-known extremist village of Tapuach! Rav Sherlo is indeed a respected man among the observant Israeli circles (I grew up within it). You thugs in the stachim are the discredited ones, especially in Tapuach, the fortress of anglo extremist Jewry. Sherlo is a mensch, you're not.
12. HAHAHA Lukas the apostle
lukas the apostle ,   I;   (11.28.10)
or the black lukas crazy duck
13. Why would anyone rent is apartment to his sworn enemy?
proud israeli ,   israel   (11.28.10)
We never allow arabs to do work in our house. If the company only uses arabs..we find another company. No parnassa for our enemy who shoots grads and kassams at my Yishuv.
14. actually, be thankful for your arab enemies
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.28.10)
seeing the way israeli jews talk about and to each other, having arab enemies is keeping an ugly civil war happening between the various groups and factions.
15. In Argentina,someone didnĀ“t rent to a jews couple an apartme
Ivan ,   Haifa   (11.28.10)
And was condemned to pay them a big quantity of money. Only in Israel citizens can debate such racist meassures openly.Very democratic for u, but what about arabs or african ?
16. Re: # 11 You cannot sell for Torah what Torah is not
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim,   (11.28.10)
17. Israeli Arabs are citizens, not enemies.
Susan ,   Philadelphia, USA   (11.28.10)
I thought that Israeli Arabs were citizens of Israel and not enemies.
18. Ii Chronicles 19:2 says if you help someone who hates YHWH
(11.29.10)
it will be a curse for you.
19. Rabbi Sherlo, finally!
Yossef ,   Toronto/Rehovot   (11.29.10)
Kol ha kavod rabbi. Finally a sane word in all this rabbinical cacophony.
20. # 16 Kfar Tapuach
Ex-Orthodox Jew ,   Israel   (11.29.10)
Torah, Qur'an, New Testament... a long list of "holy" books written down and kept by mortal men. Everybody has a god who's smarter, better and more righteous than the neighbour's... enough ingredients for unholy religion wars. If you were born on the other side you would most probably be a Hamasnik.
21. if we expect to be treated equal we must treat others equal
Sean Greene ,   Pasadena, USA   (11.29.10)
Now try and find an arab who pays his rent. just kidding. Not renting to them would violate the whole premise for allowing Jews to buy land in east Jerusalem. That all people have equal rights.
22. 17 Susan: Druze Palestinians are less dangerous than other
(11.29.10)
Palestinians as far as Jews in Israel are concerned. But Arabs (Palestinians) are like doctors, lawyers and police. You can't tell the good ones from the bad ones until you get harmed by them, so it is best to avoid them if you can.
23. Where are his sources?
TzVi ,   U.S.A.   (12.05.10)
No sources says it all. The contrary opinion (as held by true Hachamim) state sources, this article doesn't bring 1 source for its claim by this Rabbi. Here is one "SOURCE" Ramba"m: Laws of Foreign Worship 10 4 [3] One does not sell them houses or fields in Eretz Yisrael; but in Suriyah one may sell them houses, but not fields. One may rent them houses in Eretz Yisrael, provided that one does not make them a neighborhood -- and there is no neighborhood with less than three [households]. One does not rent them fields; but in Suriyah one rents them fields. And why were they strict regarding fields? For two reasons -- [because they would] expropriate the tithes and be allowed to settle the land.
24. Terribly Naive Rabbi
Chaya Gross ,   Akko, Israel   (12.09.10)
It is not about renting to foreigners rather recognizing that war has many faces. The struggle for the land, is the next front of the war against those that do not want us here. We are so good to the "strangers" amongst us, that we are defacto creating two nations within our people...Israelis and Jews. The tragedy is not recognizing what is "really" going on.
25. #16- The Torah is Divine. Proof is out there
TzVi ,   NY   (12.15.10)
search "Torah and science". Or "Rabbi Mizrachi- divineinformation". Plenty of logical, straight to the point proofs.
