CALLED RACIST RABBIS ...!!! Stooping humanity !! Utter shame.

Several Arabs have been executed “collaborating,” and the PA later admitted that it was responsible for the murders. Mohammed Abu al-Hawa, was tortured and murdered by the PA in 2006 for allegedly selling an apartment building in Jerusalem to Jews.

The act that Arabs can claim that "we are losing our humanity" because of the recent Rabbis letter of passive resistance is laughable. These sames Arabs who claim it will upset our "harmony and coexistence" are the ones who voiced support for "Palestinian" violence, took part in actions to break a legal war-time blockade around a terror entity who declared war on ALL Israelis, who ignore or even justify rocket attacks on civilians near Gaza, and who demand special laws for Arabs which would result in an Apartheid system in Israel. Just recently, we saw how Arabs feel about "harmony and coexistence" when the majority of fires in Israel were lit with their own hands in order to destroy the State and hurt Jews. One cannot disassociate the Rabbis' letter and the years of Arab intransigence and racist actions against their fellow Jewish citizens.

and land? In a massive victory for Islam, against their will, Arab Christians were cruelly placed under brutal occupation of PLO/Palestinian Authority. In the filthy Islamic Invasion of Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, Judea, Israel, Muslims tore up Bibles for toilet paper. Christian majority towns, Bethlehem & Nazareth are now majority Muslim - terrified Christians were driven out by cruel Islamic persecution. Many Bethlehem Christians' homes and land were stolen by Muslims. The Christians who remain, live in constant fear.

Coming from the same people who support the death penalty for selling property to Jews, this is a big laugh.

What they say or do is not a problem as long as they have have the Jewish peoples best interest (as divined by themselves) at heart. Screw any righteous Gentile - it's OK ask Rabbi Ovadia :)

Fact: A few months ago a Jew bought a house in the all-Arab town of Ibillin, northern Israel. He was forced to run for his life on his first evening after moving there. His name is Kochav Segal HaLevi. Google it. Fact: PA announced the death sentence a few years ago for Arabs selling homes to Jews. This is being enforced not by the Imams, but by the civil authority. Google it. Fact: Arabs do not allow Jews to move into predominantly Arab sections in mixed cities within Israel. There is no written law, but there are 'very strong discouragements' to prevent Jews from doing so. And Arab towns are off-limits even to Jewish visitors. Fact: Jews are not allowed to build in their own Jewish settlements due to government policies. Arabs, in the meantime, can build all they want. Fact: Jews who build a house or a shack in so-called non-authorized areas in the land of Israel see them immediately torn down by police. Arabs continue to build illegal housing in the tens of thousands and authorities look the other way. What Israel needs is an investigation. The rabbis have expressed an opinion and are being pilloried by the left, the media and the Arabs. It's a much more serious and urgent issue to find out why the state of Israel condones outright anti-Jewish discrimination in a country that touts itself as being "democratic" and "Jewish".

There were few such comments when recently Abbas declared that no Jews will live in the new "Palestinian" state. Why the double standard? Eye 4 eye?

If the government is to do nothing - it will destroy the efforts of many people fighting against the label attached to Israel in the world - of apartheid country. It's not a local issue - it's a bigger one. And all those who revel in calling Israel apartheid regime has just been given the perfect basis for their argument.

I have lived many years in a Muslim country .If I behaved there as some Arabs in the Land of Israel are behaving then I would have very big problems.And besides why do they not use their options in one of their 22 states if they do not like it here ?

the arab ban not to sale land comes from the koran which based not to sale land in Israel to non-jews based on a religious. prohibition. If a Jew had an apartment imn Mecca or Tripoli or London this ban has no basis. Therefore, if anyone wants to be intellectually honest first research the subject in depth before accusing others of racism. It has nothing to do with racism it has to do with ensuring that the tiny sliver of our original Country remains Jewish. After all weren't we about to give away Judea and Samaria to maintain our demographics as a Jewish state. Hmmm similar concepts. Oh by the way , what is the reason why Jews can't live under a palestinian state? Why does every inch have to be free of a jew. Once again we have become a generation of color blinded moralists.

A discussion I overheard: - What the rabbis have said is awful, just awful. It really hurts. - We've go to do something about it, man. We can't let them get away with such an outrage. - A clear violation of human rights. - Outright discrimination. - Hate! That's what it is. - This is intolerable. - Undemocratic. - Discriminatory. - So, what are we gonna do? - I don't know. What are we gonna do? - Maybe we should call those Jews, you know, those idiots... I mean those dedicated activists who speak out for our rights. - Yeah, give Yossi a call. In the meantime, I see a problem. - What's that? - What about the other Jews? - What do you mean? - I mean the Jews who want to live in our neighborhoods but can't. They'll say we discriminate. - Nobody cares, man. We've been doing this for years. Nobody cares! - Yeah, but now they'll start bleating about it. "You don't let us live next to you...." and all that. So, what do we do about it? - I know. Just bleat louder. Much louder. And use the word RACIST. Man, that works like a charm. Every time. Racist, racist, racist... Hah! Jews will start apologizing to us! This will be easier than you think. - OK, I'm calling Yossi. He'll get something organized. - Yeah, and phone the media too. And contact the United Nations, Iran, Turkey, Libya. Man, this is fun!!! - I bet that the government will end up apologizing to us! - You bet. They always do.

How dare you call our Rabbis as Racist. First clean your house and your IMAM & KHADI and your beloved racist Saudi Arabia. You TWISTER TWITTTTT

the Arabs certainly never cut a Jew any slack in this matter either. Arab behavior & mindset coming back to bite them in the *ss, I suppose.

It is really disgusting a Jew cannot rent a flat in our country called Israel in an Arab town.We Jews from Arab land use to live in fear.Israel are giving the Israeli Arabs too much FREEDOM,no respect to the law,not respecting and standing up the HATIKVA,their violence,murders,terror,not loyal to Israel,looking forward for Israel to be wiped out and the Jews to be thrown to the sea etc,.and this must be stopped,we have to learn from them how they have treated the Jews with heavy fist.

you're really funny : ) Are you a rabbi ?! You sound like them !

As others have said here, the Arab Muslims have been cruel to their Christian and Jewish neighbors, and in fact will kill you if you sell or rent land to a Jew. The main expression of this has been "what hypocrites, demanding for themselves what they do not give to others." Perhaps another way of looking at it will be more helpful: To those who are upset by the rabbinical letter forbidding sale or rent of land to non-Jews, you are right. Such forbiddance is wrong. Therefore, please do one thing: publically tell the leaders of Arab Muslim lands, like for example the would-be leaders of Samaria and Judea (what they call the "West Bank"), that you will not tolerate their wrongdoing. Then we will see you do not want to receive what you refuse to give and instead that you care about basic human rights. That way, there is no hypocrisy. That way, we can speak to each other as equals. (see, building bridges works - we just need to give it a chance!)

Not really. I am a Jew from the tribe of JUDAH the LION.

I am very proud of most of the posters here. It is at the very least a moral grey area not to sell or rent to any given race or religion. Israeli law (whether we like it or not) allows townships and municipalities control who gets to buy land in their jurisdiction. On the surface this seems extremely racist. But this is usually not targeted against Arabs, but rather used to create communities of people with a specific lifestyle. Or should i say that is how this law is used by Palestinian Jews (now called Israeli Jews BTW). But, and Salma from Jordan (or is is really Arabian?) this is for you, it seams that Arabs living in Israel take advantage of this law and use it to discriminate against non- Arabs. Thats right, is is actually illegal for Jews to own land in certain parts of Israel, even in areas that belonged to Israel pre-1967. You see in towns like Ossefia, where the big fire started, it is Illegal for Jews to own land. So Salma, what do you have to say about that? And lets not even start with how the Arabian squatters in Judea&Samaria react if Jews actually buy land there...it becomes a international crime against humanity

I am very interested to hear exactly how Salma or Observer or other Arabs respond to this fact, that in Arab communities within pre-1967 Israel, Arabs will not let Jews own land. And the fact that Arab Muslims will kill you if you sell land to a Jew in what they call the West Bank. Is this racism, Arabs? Is it wrong? Yes or no? Either way, please explain your answer.

Thank you for posting these facts. Facts are funny things, you can ignore them but they never stop being facts. I pray that Israel is given leaders who stop ignoring the facts, and who start honoring their commitment to the Jewish and democratic nation of Israel.

What is the Attorney General messing around for. The letter of the Rabbis is provocative and blantantly racist. Don't waste time Mr. A. G. PROSECUTE theres Rabbis.....Halacha! Bullsh*t. If it were how is it that so many other esteemed Rabbis are totally against the letter being complained of. The type of "Rabbi" who signed this letter are exactly the types that drive people away from our religion.Israel ius battling to make peace in the ME and these idiotic Rabbis are doing all they can to frustrate Israel's efforts.

in their attempts to defend their own brand of greed and racism. Nevertheless, a crime is a crime and a jerk is a jerk, regardless of what things you might find elsewhere. I addition, it is pathetic hearing the strong child pushing away all justified criticism of its behaviour.

How dare you call the Rabbis as Raciest ..... You look in on you on back yard, Racist fashist you iman's and you cadies they preaching hate . salma you learn from the best , Keep upthe hatred !!!!!! Am Israel Hiiiiiiii!!!!!!!

That's rich coming from you, Salma. Jews don't live in the Arab world anymore thanks to leglislation passed by Muslims! Saudia Arabia does not allow Jews or Christians to even visit, never mind live. A Jew cannot live in Jordan. Clean up your own side of the fence!
