It's scary that he actually believes this and that his "follower" will too. What an embarrassment to Israel and to Jews all over the world. This is such a destructive and irresponsible thing to say.

i like racist jokes. too bad this isn't a joke...

Israel has his share of crackpots, jerks, imbeciles,nuts. rabbi Lior is one of them, or all of them into one. If your god was that almighty, he wouldn't allow his sons / daughters to suffer ; I wasn't aware that that He bestowed the title of prominent to some 20 rabbis; when did this happen." The wave of antisemitism in Europe are a punishment ".Only a deranged head, an unbalanced brain could make such stupid statement.

Tzedek Tzedek T'erdof : That is to pursue truth to the best of your ability and judgement. Hashem gave you a brain, use it or lose it. Gaon Saadia, Gaon Hofni, and the other Gaonim reached such a level. Dov Lior drags Judaism into the black ages of superstition , mumbo jumbo. I'd love to see him confined with a she ass for a few weeks and then let him talk.

Like most talkbackers here who say far worse things

Anything and everything the Rabbi said about Arabs is true. It's a disgrace that there are Jews that think Arabs deserve anything at Jewish expense. Jews owe the Arabs absolutely nothing, and trying to appease Arabs, who the world knows is a just an impure, violent entity brings hatred upon us. The greatest act of Love for humanity is to pay the Arabs to go back to Arabia and any of the other 22 Muslim countries they came from.

I condemn all racists of any nationality or ethnic origin

AND THAT is not racisim? arabs kill and terrorize JEWS arab countries do not allow JEWS to enter. arabs swore not a jew will live in israel C'MON NOW, YOU MEAN A JEW CANT SPEAK HIS ANGER OUT IN DEFENCE OF HIS RELIGION COUNTRY AND PERSONAL ESTEEM? Or are you just a JEW HATER? SPEAK OUT JEWS, DEFEND YOUR DIGNITY AND RIGHTS TO EXIST

YOU DO NOT KNOW TORAH TO SPEAK AS YOU DO. NO WHERE IN TORAH DOES IT SAY JEWS SHOULD LIE DOWN AND BE STEPPED ON.

#28 well i do, it's both racist bro, nothing is better than the other.... Rabbi, your holiness , I'm allergic to Camels, so i never rode one, am I also called an evil camel rider? I have a mercedes, how about evil Mercedes rider? that's much cooler.. thanx for spreading love and joy, and I'm glad not all Jewish people are like you, that would be a mess... But Israel be happy, if you think this guy is a bit crazy, you should come to Jordan and see the Islamic brotherhood, what a wonderful bunch.... Peace

Why is it that YNET posts so many derogatory & inflamatory remarks by readers with no cities listed and when you remark in favor of Rabbi Lior or any other true derech eretz it usually is not printed?

They don't all ride camels but they ARE evil. if they aren't killing Jews, they are plotting to kill Jews. If they aren't plotting they're teaching their children to kill Jews. If they are not teaching their children they are supporting the ones who do. THEY ARE EVIL....

Now we know why the settlers are the neighbors from hell.

the faster people realize that, the better off Israel will be

Rabbi Lior forgot to mention the blatant hatred and disrespect among our own people which is the cause for all the hatred against us, along side our depraved state institutions

one of the carbuncles on the face of modern Israel. Go-al Nefesh!

Dov Lior had been indiscreet. He shows himself unfit for rabbinate. The late Dayan M Fisher Z"L of london used to make sure the door of the shul was shut and kept his voice down ,if he were talking about contraversial . THis man peretuates unecessary hatred. He is a fool. A wise man keeps his words to a minimum.

Why on earth would you go on an internet site, that you disagree with and then, take at least 10 mins of your time, commenting on their "talk back"? Secondly, I am sure you have a deep connection with Israel.Oh probably not.. I am sure the Guardian would be a better all round newspaper for you.

These Rabbis are an embarrassment to the State of Israel and their childish name calling of non-Jews such as Arabs as "Camel Riders" does nothing to move discussions on peace forward. They should keep their comments to Torah and Talmud. They do not add positively to any political or international discussion, instead, their discriminatory and inflammatory rhetoric is embarrasing to the State of Israel.

They prove that relion is the root of all evil! Money and greed are the by-products!

One could phrase things better than Rabbi Dov, but fundamentally he is correct. It is interesting that Rabbi Dov's detractors have nothing to offer in reply but insults. No rational rebuttal. Israeli retreat gives the world the false message that this land isn't really ours. Thus the world expects us to give it all up. After all, if we can't claim more than 3,500 year old Judea and Samaria; how can we logically claim Tel Aviv, which is barely a century old? Rabbi Dov is telling the truth behind the layers of leftist lies and the left is crying foul.

I propose a different solution to the Mid East problem. i think the "Rabbis" like this one and their mindless ilk should leave on one side of the border and the normal people both arabs and jews on the other.

He is looking for peace and says arabs are evil camel riders. Interesting peace activist :)

What an enemy Israel has on its doorstep when these words of the rabbi are more tolerant than the words of Islam's founder who refered to Jews descendents of pigs and apes.

#59. Your post is typical of those who demonize Rabbi Lior. You have nohing to offer but insults. Not a single rational rebuttal. Perhaps because there is none.
