I don't agree with the decree but the double standard of the radicals is quite obvious.

First prosecute Yossi Sarid and his mates who protested against renting or selling homes to Jews in the Shimon Hatzaddik neighberhood in Jerusalem! Even though that area was clearly Jewish till the arab massacres in 1929, in fact many many doors still have the dent for placing of the mezuzah yet they dared protest against Jews living there! No one is prosecuting them because racism against Jews is government sanctioned! Is this the democracy you are trying to create, that disadvantages the rights of Jews? In all the world Jews can live and buy homes except in Israel! Only there a Jew cannot live anywhere he wants!? Why don't these enlightend Proffessors etc' who are not at all racist (except against religious Jews like the protests against the chabad yeshiva in Ramat Aviv) let's see them invite some Sudanese Africain immigrants to thier nighbourhoods! They are Hyppocrates! The Rabbi's are simply tired of the crime the Arab enemy perpetuates against Jews (there is a war going on) the rich Saudi's and Iranians are financing buying up lands so as to destroy Israel from inside "democraticly" also the Rabbi's are tired of having to do dangerous rescues of Jewish girls seduced by Arabs who are now prisoners with their Jewish children in Arab villages, their "husbands" having married another arab wife and together they assault, wound, abuse and hurt the poor helpless Jewish girls! They cannot escape and are held via their kids as virtual hostages and slaves! There is nothing Racist in the Rabbis letter, this is a religious pragmactacil issue, don't rent or bring in arabs to your neibourhoods and don't let your daughters go out with them! How dare they compare this to germany nazis!?! What german was ever hurt by Jews to justify these racist unfair laws? This is not the case in Israel as everyone knows! Our daughter physical and spiritual safety is at risk, how dare they attempt to muzzle the Rabbi's mouths! First prosecute all these academics who are on government salaries, fly only business class yet call in every place around the globe to boycott Israel! If that is not hypocrasy what is?

And why did YNET give undeserved attention to a gang of bigots and brainless leftists?

The rabbi said that the reason why he refuses to show up for police interrogation is that the police do nothing about Arabs and leftists openly calling for Arabs not to rent or sell property to Jews. If that's OK, why is it not OK when a rabbi does it. Where's equality in front of the law? Or are Arabs and leftists exempt from discriminatory language and practices? So, some rabbis say Jews should not rent to Arabs. What about the uniform Arab policy of not renting to Jews? It is violently enforced. Does anyone have anything to say about it? The silence is deafening. So deafening that I googled "Arabs do not rent to Jews" and could not find anything except for "Jews do not rent to Arabs". This is rather strange considering that Jews can get killed if they try to live in an Arab town. Kochav Segal HaLevi tried to do that last year and almost got murdered. If the law is going after the rabbis, why doesn't it go after those Arabs who refuse to rent or sell a house to a Jew, or after the leftists who actively support that practice? And start spreading the word about Arab discrimination against Jews IN ISRAEL. There's nothing on the web unless you google Kochav Segal HaLevi's name.

Bleeding liberal hearts, give away Eretz Yisroel to the enemy and then try to rent an apartment.

Shulamit Aloni, Yoram Kaniuk, Dani Karavan, Zahava Gal-On and Naomi Hazan. Are the real racists.You are the ones who incite hate against the Religious people, You should be arrested and jailed

YOU NAMED THE SIGNERS We should know who the real destroyers of ISRAEL are....those who are willing to sell to tghe enemies of the people of Israel the state the holy land and the JEWISH people IN THE WORLD

Fire all who incite! Justice is blind.

Rabbis are not allowed to express their opinions; they are not liberals. Liberals are allowed to demonstrate, Rabbis must be quiet and wear black. Liberals are always correct, rabbis represent the laws of the Torah. Liberals are modern, rabbis are old relics. Liberals can love our enemies and hate us, but rabbis only can love Jews. Me thinks liberals got everything including sick minds.

and the ones who disregard the law should be "sent down" to share the already overcrowded shas block in prison

These liberal fascists once again show both their ignorence and true colors. They want to prosecute speech and thought (surprise , surprise), but they also don't even know their definitions. Arabs, even the worst terrorist are a still semites of the same caucasian stock as Jews. They are of the SAME RACE!!!!!. Use appropriate terms when describing a national conflict. The terms exist!!

anti religious and anti-Torah establishment people "Intellectuals."

B"H It is becoming more and more obvious that a rabbinate under secular, government control doesn't and cannot work. There is an urgent need for an Independent Rabbinate in Eretz Israel that can freely talk Torah.

I don’t know if the actions of these rabbis are an exercise of free speech or an actionable offence. That what has to be determined, however refusal to submit to police questioning is an actionable offence. Whatever the determination turns out to be, rabbis who do not answer the police summons should be prosecuted.

They identify themselves with the Arabs/gentiles more than they do with their Jewish brethren. Secular culture devoid of any religious principles has morally subverted Israel to the lowest point rather than making a contribution to society for better or for worse.

Every religion discourages marrying outside the faith. When your mother says, "Is she Jewish?" do you arrest your mother for racism? "Incitement to racism," is that even a real thing? Give me a break. The rabbis and their wives have a right to their opinion.

Undemocratic. Immature. Obscene. "You don't think like me, so I will deny you your right to make a living." Intellectuals? Who are they? Name names...

First Jail the Meretz Anti-Semitic racists!

Who in this country is not racist against Arabs? I am not. I was fired for saying "Welcome home" to a Palestinain as he returned home at the border. It was considered "superfluous" and "a lack of complying to policies and instructions that a rational person would understand." No one stood up and said anything. "Us Here - Them There" is the motto of the Left, Right and Center, and even then "they" are not wanted between the Mediteranian Sea and the Jordan River.

These leftist so called "intellectual elite" incite alot more hatred and racism than the rabbis do. Why are they not summoned to court? Unbelievable hypocrisy!

Are these the very same folk who call themselves "artists" in another fine piece of Ynet journalism today ("Artists protest Rabbis letter")? Oh those "intellectuals" and "artists". I also want to kick some Haredi butt --so where do I sign up to be an intellectual or an artist....or maybe....both! If I have a dozen or so friends over and we get all riled up and artistic-like, we could call up Ynet and have 'em write us up. Then we wouldn't just be a buncha nudniks gesticulating and carrying on in my apartment -- we'll be "intellectuals"!

Y'know, I've been thinking....hey! that must make me an intellectual! Wait...or does the bilge have to pour out of my mouth to qualify?

The intellectuals demand these rabbis be fired and more because their actions are not considered appropriate for being on the State payroll... however, these same intellectuals support boycotts by artists, who are also on the State payroll, against certain Israeli demographics and their cities (i.e. settlements). These intellectuals wish for an apartheid system in which the law is enforced harshly against those they disagree with, but not enforced against themselves in the same situation. Stalinist Russia and Iraq under Saddam worked the same way. Does that tell you what the Left is really about?

Jay3. Your post is ridiculous. We must all fight these racist rabbis, if Israel is not to face further shame from their immoral actions.
