Jewish Extremism

It is forbidden to be merciful to [the Arabs], you must give them missiles, with relish – annihilate them. Evil ones, damnable ones. May the Holy Name visit retribution on the Arabs’ heads, and cause their seed to be lost, and annihilate them, and cause them to be vanquished and cause them to be cast from the world.

Nope, that wasn’t an excerpt from Dubya’s State of the Union speech, it was in a Passover sermon by Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the spiritual leader of the Shas party, the political party of Sephardic Jews in Israel and an integral part of Sharon’s war-oriented government. He’s now saying “Ooops!”, when I said Arabs I really meant Terrorists.

Which for me is worse in a way because it demonstrates the massive stereotyping and hatred used and believed by poltiicians on both sides in that conflict.
