1. More like divine ... stupidity.
Alfredo ,   Raanana   (11.25.16)
Such are our "spiritual" leaders!
2. Pray...Just which planet are they from
Tim ,   Brighton   (11.25.16)
Sounds shamefully and wickedly like an attempt to gain a few cheap column inches and PR on the back of a national adversity

To the JNF: Lets get underway an international 2for1 fund raising to plant TWO trees for every one destroyed and transform Israels 'Black Friday' to a lush and beautiful GREEN

In the words of the song
Time to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and start all over again....and also thank and acknowledge all the international help gratefully received
3. This is not Judaism
Eve ,   Jerusalem   (11.25.16)
What is preached by these Rabbis is not religion but hate and primitive superstition.
4. Talk about incitement!
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.26.16)
This rabbi should be arrested!
"Safed Chief Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, posted a ruling on Jewish law on Friday morning that permits shooting Arabs who are trying to cause fires, even if this were to violate Shabbat."
5. Fires caused by rabbis like Yoshiyahu Pinto
Avi L.   (11.26.16)
Fires caused by rabbis like Yoshiyahu Pinto, Eliezer Berland and other self righteous low lives.
6. Insanity in the form of a rabbinate.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.25.16)
7. Rabbis on the recent fires
Eli ,   Israel   (11.26.16)
This babble from their mouths just indicates how low some streams of Judaism have fallen. It also indicates that religion is much too important to be put in the charge of misogynistic, fanatical, self-righteous and evil characters.
8. E. Levanon
ZYres ,   Zichron Yaakov   (11.27.16)
And the difference between Levanon and the imams explaining the tragedies as divine retribution is ... well what, exactly? By misuse of his credentials, this pseudo-rabbi with a white schmatte on his head has provided a hechsher to Arab arsonists that is at least as powerful as the "hechsherim" from the radical Muslim leaders. As offensive as he has been for years, Levanon has crossed a red line. I hope all Jews of conscience reject him until he does complete teshuvah.
