I may not like it but the same passages can be found in the Torah. Whether they should be implemented fully today and if this qualifies as 'incitement' is a good question. Under israeli law it probably is.
2. Let us see what indictment he will get
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (09.12.06)
I wonder how many years of prison he will be charged? Possibly will be released without any charge.

4. He should be locked up

Moshe ,   Beit Shemesh   (09.12.06)

8. All the arab nations can kick out Jews and that is OK with
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica,CA USA   (09.12.06)
the world, but let the Jews have one tiny country and they are supposed to share it with a twenty percent fifth column? What chutzpah, what mashuganah? Kahane was right and people like Sharon and Olmert want to give the land away so the terrorists can be that much closer. What fools.

What a ridiculous comment you made. When you say you need people like this genocidal rabbi in the government, do you mean the US government or the Israeli government? It beggars belief a) that a rabbi would write or believe such genocidal trash, and b) that a (supposedly) Jewish person from Brooklyn knows so little about Jewish history that he would write in support of this bloodthirsty maniac. And yet, the pages of YNET are full of crass idiots calling for more deaths in the name of Judaism/Zionism. It is sickening. It is unhuman. When you all call for the Moslem communities to rise up and throw out the idiots in their midst who carry out attacks, should you not also be calling upon the Jewish settler community to distance themselves publicly from people who incite murder of innocents. It is exactly the same thing. Jihadi rabbis. Ugh.
10. No. 9 is right
Alissa ,   Tel Aviv   (09.12.06)
11. What about muslim sedition and incitement?
Bernard Ross ,   St. Anns Bay Jamaica   (09.12.06)
Stop the dog and pony show. The government should spend it's time and energy protecting jews against muslim/arab incitement such as that by the wakf in Jerusalem. Where is his indictment? Every minute we hear of kill the jews. Those that utter the phrase should be killed. The arabs/muslim do not spend one minute of energy in defense of jews so why is Israel always concerned about them?
12. He was talking about WAR
Jew ,   Eretz Israel   (09.12.06)
I guess the Israeli left sees this as not war but "peace process". Looks to me like war. Does it look like "peace process" to you?
13. You kill your enemy
Itzik ,   Haifa   (09.12.06)
It is war. The Arabs tell every day that they kill us, men and women, and children. If any Jew will be near an Arab the Arab will kill her if he can get away.
14. DEMOCRATIC DICTATORSHIP
al mann ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (09.12.06)
Here is yet another example of the hypocrisy of being called democratic. People are forbidden to express their opinion about issues especially if they are against governmental sensitivities.
15. Jewish Jihadis
Eli   (09.12.06)
Love to see the same people who decry Muslim Jihadis (and rightly so) supporting this abomination of a teacher.
16. Only makes sense in Israel.
Yakov ,   Ashkelon   (09.12.06)
Israel locks up a rabbi who is only exercising his right of free speech, after we allow and help fund Arab MK traitors collaborate with Syrian enemies who want to destroy us. Then our courts order Hamas terrorists and their executive officers to be released from jail. Only in Israel could this meshuga make sense.
17. He deserves imprisonment or deportation....an evil man...
Andy   (09.12.06)
Masquerading as a rabbi. Genocide is as un-Jewish and anti-Zionist as it gets.

Your comment is rather disingenuous. A rabbi calling for the death of all non-Jews is not a question of freedom of expression or freedom of opinion. You, yourself, might agree that writing articles calling for the deaths of the totality of an ethnic group constitutes a call for genocide. this is not "against governmental sensibilities" as you so delicately put it - but a call to kill all Arabs in historic Palestine is against humanity and against Judaism. Your ridiculous little note coudl have been written by a brainwashed moron from 1939 Germany. Perhaps you don't have the intellectual capacity to grasp that.

jp ,   UG   (09.12.06)
Isreal your real enemy are sef hatin Jews. wake up and see the Emeny in your bed!
21. Being A Jewish Nationalist Is Dangerous To Your Health
Adina kutnicki ,   US   (09.13.06)
What a crock! Sedition no less. The regime has never charged the Arab MK's and all the Islamists in Israel who call for the country's DESTRUCTION with sedition. And, they think these nationalist Jews are guilty of sedition and incitement? Well, I guess in Israel if you are trying to save the country you can be indicted for sedition and incitement. On the other hand, if you are trying to destroy the country, then give the traitors a free pass. Orwell, welcome to present day Israeli 'justice'.

Rustum what is your ethnic background? Also why don't you use your real name?
23. #21 wonderland
Rustum ,   London, UK   (09.13.06)
Youa re a really sick woman if you cannot understand that calling for genocide is just about the worst thing anyone can do for their country. You manage to turn the whole issue around so beautifully, as if NOT killing all Arabs is a dangerous thing to do. As for your quoting Orwell, he would be sickened by your note.
