Rabbi Yosef: GENTILES WERE MADE TO SERVE JEWS
by Jon Ber
Gentiles, Goyim in Hebrew and Yiddish, In case you are a non-jew, or didn't know, are those inferior, barley human being, whose place on Earth, is to serve Jews, according to Israel's former Chief Rabbi, Shas party "spiritual" leader, moron extra-ordinar and political kingmaker, Ovadia Yosef. Yes Serah Palin. People like you.
Shas, Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition partner is holding four cabinet posts in Israel's right wing government. Its current leader, Eli Yishai, is one of four Deputy Prime Ministers and Minister of Internal Affairs.
Shas, may called itself a political party but its a huge, corrupt business racket. It has eleven seats of a120 membres of Israel's parliament Knesset.
"Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world." Yosef preached, last week in a Saturday sermon in Jerusalem. "Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi (a wealthy landowner. Arabic)) and eat.
Earlier this year, the ninety years old Yosef called for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to "perish" from this world together with his evil people. "God should strike them with a plague, them and these vipers".
"It is forbidden to be merciful to them. You must send missiles to them and annihilate them. They are evil and damnable." He later argued that he meant "terrorist" Arabs and not all of the Arab world.
A majority of Israelis and world jewry, of course, regards Yosef's statements, ludicrous, racist and sickening. There was never a better time for their leadership to proclaim so. Loudly.
I think he should be deported to The Hag and put on trail for crimes against humanity. His mates from Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah should be there with him.
Yosef also said "It is forbidden to be merciful to them. You must send missiles to them and annihilate them. They are evil and damnable." He later argued that he meant "terrorist" Arabs and not all of the Arab world.
Haartz.com Natasha Mozgovaya reports, the ADL, (Anti-Defamation League) a jewish prominent power house said that Yosef's comments contributed "to an atmosphere of hatred and a global trend of intolerance."
"It is disturbing to see any religious leader, and particularly Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, use their podium to preach such hateful and divisive ideas," ADL chief Abraham H. Foxman said. "In a world where bigotry and prejudice are prevalent, it is especially important for religious leaders to use their influence to teach respect and acceptance," Foxman said.

Did they play Barack Obama’s speech to the Muslim world in the prison corridors of Abu Ghraib, Bagram air base, Guantanamo or the dozens of secret sites where we hold thousands of Muslims around the world? Did it echo off the walls of the crowded morgues filled with the mutilated bodies of the Muslim dead in Baghdad or Kabul? Was it broadcast from the tops of minarets in the villages and towns decimated by U.S. iron fragmentation bombs? Was it heard in the squalid refugee camps of Gaza, where 1.5 million Palestinians live in the world’s largest ghetto?Muslim rage is stoked because we station tens of thousands of American troops on... more

Likud chairman and opposition leader MK Benjamin Netanyahu told Army Radio on Wednesday that he has no intention of joining a national unity coalition led by Tzipi Livni that would "relinquish the Golan Heights and divide Jerusalem."
"I don't want to build an Iranian base in the Golan Heights or in the heart of Jerusalem," Netanyahu told Army Radio. "This will be a government that will relinquish the Golan Heights and will divide Jerusalem. This is not a government with our (the Likud's) guidelines."
The Likud chair blasted the Kadima chairwoman for pledging to continue negotiations for a final settlement with the Palestinian Authority. "We know what we are dealing with on the other (Palestinian) side," Netanyahu said. "Today, there is no partner. There is a partner to talks but not to deeds. There is no Palestinian alive today who will kill a terrorist operative."
"I won't let Hamas enter East Jerusalem," the opposition chief told Army Radio. "Jerusalem is ours. We did not spill blood so that Hamas can settle in Jerusalem."
When asked how he reconciled his opposition to a withdrawal from the Golan Heights with the fact that he negotiated with Syria during his term as prime minister, Netanyahu replied that his steadfast stance led to key Syrian concessions on the issue of land.
"My first course of action as prime minister was to nullify the famous Rabin deposit," Netanyahu said, referring to Yitzhak Rabin's reported pledge to U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher stating that Israel commits to a full withdrawal from the Golan Heights in exchange for firm security guarantees from Damascus.
Since Livni's narrow victory over Shaul Mofaz in the Kadima primary on Thursday, Netanyahu has sought to play up the difference between Kadima under Livni, who is prepared for territorial compromises, and Likud, which has pledged to keep Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, the Western Wall and the Temple Mount under Israeli sovereignty.
Netanyahu on Tuesday publicly rejected the call by Livni, Kadima's new chairwoman, to join a national unity government headed by her. Speaking at a news conference at Likud headquarters in Tel Aviv, together with Likud MKs, Netanyahu launched an all-out attack on a future Livni cabinet and its expected coalition with Labor and Shas.
"We are not joining a failure and we are the alternative to the failure," Netanyahu told the press. He also reiterated the Likud argument that "it is inconceivable for a small group of Kadima members to decide for the citizens of Israel." Netanyahu declined to divulge the content of his Saturday-night meeting with Labor chairman Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
"We are told that elections will undermine the stability of the government, but the opposite is true. As long as there are no elections there will be no stability. It will be a transitional government constantly preoccupied with its survival," Netanyahu said.
MK Silvan Shalom accused Livni of favoring "her chair over ideology," mentioning the period after the Winograd Committee report on the Second Lebanon War, "when she called on Olmert to resign but remained foreign minister. And after Talansky she mumbled something and stayed in the government."
Likud whip MK Gideon Sa'ar said that within the first 24 hours of coalition talks Livni "had broken all her promises." He said she had given in to Shas' demand to restore cuts made to monthly child allowances. Likud chairman and opposition leader MK Benjamin Netanyahu told Army Radio on... more

"After congratulating Tzipi Livni, I called on her to coordinate a date for general elections as soon as possible," opposition leader and Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu told reporters at a press conference on Thursday evening.
He added that he intended to approach Labor chairman and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Shas Chairman and Labor, Trade and Industry Minister Eli Yishai, and other faction leaders on the subject.
Netanyahu said that "the only way to stop the deteriorating situation is to enable the people of Israel to elect a new government."
The opposition chairman stated that "anyone who fears the people's decision is not worthy of leading."
"In recent months public norms have been widely discussed. The most decent and democratic step is to hold general elections. We need to let the people of Israel determine who will be Israel's prime minister, not Kadima party members," he said.
"In the last two and a half years the Kadima government has failed in security, economy and education," Netanyahu said. "The only way to stop the deteriorating situation is to enable the people to elect a new government."
The opposition chairman claimed his party could "restore security, boost the education system and stabilize our economy."
Netanyahu said he was confident Israel could be put on the track to success.

Israel and the Palestinians have agreed to negotiate on the issue of Jerusalem, as well as parts of the Dead Sea, US Consul-General Jacob Walles said in an interview published by the Palestinian daily, Al-Ayyam on Thursday.
According to the interview, which was cited by Israel Radio, the consul-general said that negotiations would be based on the 1967 borders, with changes to those borders being possible should both sides agree.
Walles told the paper that the other core issues, including that of the refugees, were also expected to be discussed.
In response to the report, the US State Department issued a statement asserting that the US government had not taken a position on the borders of a future Palestinian state.
"While the discussions between the parties are confidential, we can state that the parties have not in any way prejudiced long held views on borders," the statement said.
"A senior US official who participated in the discussions denies that the Israeli side, led by chief negotiator, Foreign Minister [Tzipi] Livni, has been willing to negotiate concerning Jerusalem," it continued.
Also responding to the report, opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu said Walles' comments proved the ineptitude of the current government.
"The government lost all moral validity and legitimacy a long time ago," he said. "The time has come to hold elections."

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will step down immediately after his party chooses a successor this month, a confidant said Thursday, shooting down speculation the Israeli leader would try to linger in office for months.
The announcement means that Israel could find itself racing to form a new government in as little as a week. And it raised new questions about Washington's stated goal of brokering an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement by year's end.
Olmert, who is battling a corruption investigation, announced in July that he would resign some time after his Kadima Party chooses a new leader in a Sept. 17 primary.
But he was vague about the timing of his exit, raising speculation that he would try to hold onto power. Under Israel's complicated political system, Olmert could theoretically stretch out the transition process for months.
The confidant said Olmert will announce his formal resignation "immediately following the primary." The confidant, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Olmert has not publicly revealed his plans, is in close daily contact with Olmert.
Olmert would stay on as a caretaker while his successor cobbles together a new coalition.

The Dutch intelligence service, the AIVD, has called off an operation aimed at infiltrating and sabotaging Iran's weapons industry due to an assessment that a US attack on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program is imminent, according to a report in the country's De Telegraaf newspaper on Friday.
The report claimed that the Dutch operation had been "extremely successful," and had been stopped because the US military was planning to hit targets that were "connected with the Dutch espionage action."
The impending air-strike on Iran was to be carried out by unmanned aircraft "within weeks," the report claimed, quoting "well placed" sources.
The Jerusalem Post could not confirm the De Telegraaf report.
According to the report, information gleaned from the AIVD's operation in Iran has provided several of the targets that are to be attacked in the strike, including "parts for missiles and launching equipment."
"Information from the AIVD operation has been shared in recent years with the CIA," the report said.
On Saturday, Iran's Deputy Chief of Staff General Masoud Jazayeri warned that should the United States or Israel attack Iran, it would be the start of another World War.
On Friday, Ma'ariv reported that Israel had made a strategic decision to deny Iran military nuclear capability and would not hesitate "to take whatever means necessary" to prevent Teheran from achieving its nuclear goals.
According to the report, whether the United States and Western countries succeed in thwarting the Islamic Republic's nuclear ambitions diplomatically, through sanctions, or whether a US strike on Iran is eventually decided upon, Jerusalem has begun preparing for a separate, independent military strike.
