Get a good look at the current state of affairs in Israel, because it won't last. The anti-Torah Bolsheviks are losing their grip on the Jewish state. In due time, the real Zionist liberation will take place, and Israel will finally become a Jewish state that upholds Jewish values.

fear the future you describe: patriot, right wing secular, that beside caring about Israel care just as much about freedom are deeply worried. I am one of them. Truth be said, the religious neurotics should be left alone to run their affairs as they see fit, unfortunately in our quasi theocracy they acquired too much of REAL power based on IMAGINARY basis and therefore need to be watched& regulated since they "regulate" lives of ALL citizens, whether we like it or not.

Isn't this the same Attorney General who wouldn't take any action against Zoabi ,Tibi , and all the Balad & Hadash members who in the Knesset attack Israel !

If Eliyahu's remarks represent the Torah for you then you are as sick as he is. He and you are a disgrace to the Jewish people. I hope he never gets to run since he doesn't represent the Jewish faith.

Which part of 13 racist statements you don't understand? The guy is a racist joke and he wants to be Chief Rabbi? On second thought, that's a perfect match. As for you, Mr. Jake, please remain in the USA, from where you can spread your ignorance and silliness.

We just dont want these primitive "stone age mentality" people representing sane Israelies.

then this is a Jewish value that cannot be supported. This rabbi is a disgrace.

deny him this right, the right to defend himself in our courts? I think both have gone WAY to far.

as someone who is supposed to uphold the law, he should resign for something like that vs. his wife paying a fine. what a hypocrite...

The question is not one of a suitable candidate for the job, rather is the job suitable for the Nation, no it is not, we do not need to run and operate in Israel a Vatican and a Papacy.

The attorney general is the state's legal counsel, not a candidate's priivate counsel and as such - if he comes to the conclusion that the candidacy is unlawful - he can refuse to lend the candidate services of legal support payed for by the tax payer. In fact, he had the obligation to do so. The candidate can still hire a lawyer privately, as we still live in a free democratic society (of which the Bronze Age, primitive, racist, xenophobic and uneducated Rabbinical cleric had no clue)

the Torah is against Gays. If the Rabbi tells us what the Torah says does that mean he can not be a Rabbi?

Most of the statements attributed to Eliyahu by the secular media were taken out of context or misrepresented. He had the support of many other rabbis and he was a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council. The Eliyahu Family came to Israel from Iraq, and possibly better understand Arabs than A G Weinstein.
