Not going to school is quite different from murder.

Gabriel, the truth is you are illiterate in terms of Judaism, and you admit so yourself. As for him not looking healthy, wait till you get to his age.
33. Rabbi says ....
Hadassa   (05.21.12)
Hmm, what a pity this is , that a rabbi thinks he is above G-D, for hwat the rabbi says is words from the Torah ????
34. dont blame the messenger...
Ze'ev ,   Nbg, germany   (05.21.12)
Blaming Ynetnews for publishing this article is like blaming the doctor who found out that you suffer on a disease! Blame the disease, not the doctor! We all know how the haredi do think about the world outside thier quarters. So this is nothing new. Its still a shame we should be aware of. But its really not new.
35. Is this an annual competition
Tomek ,   Poland   (05.21.12)
for rabbis about who will make a more demented statement? The guy who said Jews cannot lift a finger to save non-Jewish lives on Saturday was leading until this morning but he was overtaken by this one. It is still a long way to go, so I am sure another self-proclaimed authority on the word of God will come out of the woodwork with something even more bizarre.
36. Dementia
Mike ,   UK   (05.21.12)
Is he dead or alive? He looks like a dead man walking. Silly old fool, now take your tablets.

Read well the article. He says: "There are eight billion people in the world. And what are they? Murderers, thieves, brainless peopleā€¦". he is not talking of nations as a whole but individual people! Please do not distort the content of the article in support of this hateful idiot!
38. Torah, Torah and some Torah.
Con ,   Scandinavia   (05.21.12)
Hmmmm...Did this guy remember to mention the Torah in his speech? Just want to make sure that he did not forget to mention the Torah. You got that. Torah. T.O.R.A.H. :-P
39. Lovely guy!

40. Just think, if a gentile had said such things about Jews

41. people like him are what causes anti-Semitism
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (05.21.12)
Some of the main reasons people hate Jews is because of the Haredim & their elitist, narrow-minded, tribal attitudes& comments like Jews are the "chosen people".
42. Rabbi shiteinman
Harold ,   USA   (05.21.12)
Does this rabbi live on Palestinian occupied lands.
43. 2nd look
Michael ,   Houston, TX. US   (05.21.12)
You know, at first glance the story looked like a racist rant. However, after reading the entire story I take no offense at it even though I'm considered a goy. There are as a fact some pretty lost and twisted people and governments among the nations and all who truly read the Torah would benefit from it. While I might differ with the Rav on a number of things I think I'll give him a pass on this one.
44. I hope non-jews dont think he speak for us
Avi ,   Israel   (05.21.12)
This "rabbi" is an idiot, a racist and a hateful man, i wish he would go to hell, he doesn't represent us, he represent a small fanatic minority in Judaism, which i hope vanish, the sooner the better
45. Oh give me a break!
Avi ,   Israel   (05.21.12)
another idiot like the "wise" rabbi here, just another religious fanatic who thinks he can spoil for all the rest, go live in a cave with your racist ideas, "ruach hakodesh", or the spirit of divinity in free translation is the last thing that rabbi has, if this is the spirit of divinity, i don't want anything to do with it, or the idiots who preach it.

Sane ,   Manchester England   (05.21.12)
I must have missed the bit where he told everyone to go and kill other nations for their violent cultures. He was just observing the facts of Nations cultures, not speaking about every last individule.
47. Noahides
Abraham ,   Australia   (05.21.12)
Chabad has introduced me to the wonders and awesomeness of the Seven Laws of Noah for Gentiles. It is hard enough encouraging Gentiles to understand the logical, moral Seven Laws as it is, a Rabbi telling them they have no place is a great setback to any good that had been accomplished among the nations.

You and the moronic rabbi are birds of a feather !!!

Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (05.21.12)
I never admitted anything like it. As #37 says, you seem to have a problem reading. I said I don't KEEP the mitzvot, which is something different, isn't it? Oh, and for the record, why is it that I am illiterate in terms of Judaism? Is it because I don't hold with his notion that non jews are brainless thieves and I am god knows what because I don't live my life like him? I sure don't hope that's what you are implying. If it is, please feel free to defend that notion..... 'Sane', he calls himself....
50. 27 You need to take a hard...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.21.12)
good look in the mirror. I am the perverse,because i try to make comprehensible to outsiders,what this GREAT Rabbi meant?
51. Whenever I need a reason to dislike religion
A ,   Belgium   (05.21.12)
its right there waiting. Thanks, rabbi for todays lesson in ignorance.
52. I am ashamed
Sagi   (05.21.12)
to be a Jew when I am confronted by these people, when I have to listen to their nonsense. It breaks my heart that they should be considered Jewish. They disgust me to such an extent that I refuse to engage in any rapport with them or to have any truck with them whatsoever.
53. Sarah B , where are you hiding? TATA
Edithann ,   USA   (05.21.12)

courtney ,   usa   (05.21.12)
the world has no place for people like you
55. Ugly inside and out ,...
snag ,   US   (05.21.12)
Hard to find better sample of rabid hate - Anyone wonders why no one misses them in Europe ??? ,...
56. Senile old fart!
mike ,   gedera   (05.21.12)
57. your god is not my god
yossi   (05.21.12)
In your case mr. Shteinmam, the world was created for rabbis of your shrunken stature.Only an imbecile will reach your conclusion that 12-14 million Jews are god's creation to perfection, while your 8 billion non jews are only crooks, thieves, killers, deviants, etc. An advice?, have your head examined ASAP. Born a fool, your so-called hi-learning has turned you into a full fldge idiot. Poor Jews.
58. Idiot?! Most of these posts:
Yosef Y. MSc' ,   USA   (05.21.12)
Hey Maurice, (and your fellow "intellectuals") Please be careful with using the word " hateful idiot" - chances are that you are a bigger one yet. "Goyishe" brains (such as yours) at their worse - are inherently incapable of comprehending the Kedusha of a true Jew - few who are still left.
59. Why give him publicity?
AMERICAN HINDU ,   USA   (05.21.12)
By giving so much coverage to some stupid person on the fringe, you are giving ammunition to Israel's enemies who want to portray Israel & Jews as racist and bigots. Why not ignore this lunatic?
60. Rabbi Shteinman's statement
Martin van den Bergh ,   Bet Shemesh   (05.21.12)
I feel ashamed of the Rabbi's remarks. My late grandfather always said one aspect of Kiddush HaShem is how we behave towards and with Non-Jews. Before we judge others we should judge ourselves.
