These kind of racist statements hurt your community even more.

its a violent culture and its followers are dominating the world, and because of all the oil money and, natural resources and population and lands ( all these Arab, Moslem lands) they have they are getting more and more proud and arrogant and more violent.

its not the fault of Israel if Arab Palestinians like to attack Israel on the basis of their hateful war-mongering culture.( the same culture that makes other Arabs like Syrians kill children and torture them in Syria) its not Israel's fault that Hamas like to throw rockets at Israeli kids from homes and schools. Israel has an obligation to defend its children against Arab violent culure. if Arabs want to kill each other's kids in Iraq and Syria and if they like to throw acid in the face of little girls or if they want to cut the nose of their children, if they don't agree to get married at age 8, there is nothing Israel can do to save these kids. All Israel can do is to attack the rocket launchers to stop them from killing Jewish kids. If Gaza children die in these attacks maybe their parents can to to U.N and complain against their war-mongering rulers who are endangering these kids and use them as child-soldiers. Palestinians are supporting the killing of Syrian kids by helping and supporting Assad and Iranian rulers. I haven't heard of any Palestinian people complaining to UN about the killiing of children by Hafiz Assad, while khaled Mashal has headquarters in Syria. Why Palestinian leaders support and help Assad in killing Syrian kids? Maybe Syrian kid's blood is not as good as Palis's kids?

have a number of Torah orthodox Jewish friends (ortho) who stated categorically that the idea of a chosen people purely cannot be denied by the mere fact Jews With Torah exists today in spite of people like you , not conojectures, and that there is PROOF that such a thing in practice (at least in all times) EXISTS as a special people. this SHOULD BE A belief wide spread among jews. YOUR FRIENDS NEED A FEW HISTORY LESSONS

The number #1 foreign policy issue with 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, according to a survey conducted by the Univ. of Maryland, is the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. This crazed terrorist said essentially what Khalid Shiekh Mohammed, the 9/11 mastermind said. He said essentially the same thing as what Ramsi Usef the 1993 World Trade Center bomber said. Palestinians and non-state terrorists have ample reasons to hate Israel without this Rabbis observation. Anti-Semitism, on the other hand, is caused far more by an arrogant belief that some Jews have that they are better than anyone else (especially in the eyes of God.) This Rabbis comments only reinforce that perception and create anti-Semitism. He is making himself a poster boy for the very people who could be persuaded to hate us and his comments probably push them over the edge.

What am I to envy the "Chosen Ones"???!

Nour, we all sorry when kids die but what happened in gaza were collaterla damages not like your people that goes straight to slaught kids and pregnant women. that´s the difference between you and me. we don´t do it in purpose, you do.

I am not jealous of Jews,however I do admire them greatly,and think they are a blessing to mankind because God chose them amongst all the people's of the world to bring His message and His commandments. I do think antisemites are jealous of the Jews though,and this leads to their irrational cruel,hatred.

There is no doubt Israel and the Jewish people are God's chosen. The apple of his eye. The people of the messiah. Do I envy them? Hummmmm Sure, but I chose to bless them and love them. Being that it appears the 70th Week of Daniel 1260 and 1290 is around the corner, everyone will see this to be true.

Right on, Paul, The concepts of "man-made religions", "spiritual materialism" etc., are very difficult to comprehend by rank and file Goyim (and even many Jews). The Reality is, that since Mount Sinai, we, the original Jewish nation became BIOLOGICALLY different, Creator's own Chosen people of the Book. While Goyim will righteously claim, that it smacks of outright racism (ala Nazi attitude) I would actually agree with them, as THIS is the ONLY explanation in recorded history ever - of a Nation to have survived and even prospered, with its own language intact for almost 4 000 years - PERIOD.

what an idiotic statement...

Rabbi Eliyahu is a Moroccan Jew. He does not share the same origin as the Ashkenazi Jews, and is probably the descendent of converted Berbers. Many of the attributes of "Jews," such as a high number of Nobel prize winners, are common among Ashkenazi Jews only. Jews from Arab countries have the same contribution to Nobel prize winners as Arabs of other religions, i.e.-almost nothing. Do you really believe that any European individual is jealous of Rabbi Eliyahu or of his intellectual abilities?

since they claim that they are chosen ones then ask them to wish to meet their beloved, that is Me, G-d. If you are so beloved then you'd like to meet Me at the earliest.

Your Jewish friends have no clue of what they are talking about. We are "God's Chosen People" either they like it or not.. We are the only people who are called a Nation and no one else. As for Our THORAH it's eternal, past, present and future.

there was worshipping of the sun and moon, animals, human sacrifice etc. Jews were chosen to deliver the word. No better than those that accept the word. on the other hand if you want to worship the moon, help yourself. If you believe you must spread your word by killing and terrorizing others then you never got the word.

This is religious bigotry at its finest. Go ahead Rabbi, split the religions and see what you get. To call us jealous of you is s serious stretch. Yeah, I wish all the world was against me,like you, yeah, I spit on those that love and would protect me by calling them names and spitting in their face,like you, yeah, without you the world would stop, and I really am jealous of all the rockets fired at you. This Rabbi is more rabid than Rabbi. He aint helping anybody, least of all Israel. Jealous Goyim my ass. I know there are fools in the guise of teachers all over the world. Israel has a doozy in Rabbi flatulence... Shalom Israel, Rob

...the meaning of Chosen. I have never envied Jews for being chosen, but rather there have been times I have felt some relief at not being. With choseness comes a responsibility to be a light. To teach Torah to the world---not to turn gentiles away from a synagogue!

...by Jews not fulfilling their G-d-given mission to us gentiles. We resent it in our souls because we know deep down we have been short-changed.

Somehow the idea of being a chosen people as morphed into a self-righteous superiority. Do the Koaneem feel superior to the Levites or other Jews? Yet, they were chosen to be the priests in the temple. In the same way, the every Jew was chosen to be a priests to the nations. This did not mean they were to profess superiority. This way of thinking, I believe, crept into the Jewish ethos during times of pograms as a sort of comfort and way of understanding non-Jewish brutality.

And you wonder why are Jews so hated wherever they go ?

#33- you can't steal something that belongs to you already! If anything- the backbone of Jewish identity is in fact Chevron, Shechem, Jericho- the Temple Mount! etc... and the places YOU lie about as belonging to you- The Torah is the eternal deed to the Land.

An impartial self-assessment is not a virtue or a part of Jewish character, is it ? A Jew can do no wrong, right ?

there are plenty rightouse non jews who love israel plenty in the USA and we hear them and bless them, but there are the evil non jews who will follow the jews anywhere.

people who hate the jews and want them destroyed. GOD bless you shalom

Rabbi Eliyahu is not a Marocain. He is a descendant of an illustre family of Rabbis and scholars from Irak. Most of the Jews from Morocco are descendants from the Jews who fled Spain during the inquistion. The Sepharadis Jews are called The Rishonim because they contributed largely to the Torah world and this is higher than Nobel Prize. Do not forget that Arafat also got a Nobel price. !!!!!!.... Maimonides used to sign his name Rabbi ben Moshe BEN Maimone HaSepharadi HaTahor. Get your facts straight . Avi, I feel really sorry and sad for you that you are so narrow minded.

Well, we dislike you as well Jo. You are ignorant of the meaning of Chosen. We are not chosen for a good time, nor because we are better. We are chosen to bear witness to G-d's word and to observe it no matter what crap like you (and that dead garbage in France) does to us. We are chosen to be a light unto the nations and an example of how G-d expects ALL of his children to act. No fun, no games, no first in line for the good stuff, Jo.
