Abhorrent.
Why? Was one of them prophesied to be a king someday?
There no hate speech laws this breaks? He’s literally calling for violence on a group of people.
Lmao, not where Palestinians are concerned. Welcome to Apartheid.
Israeli laws outlaws hate speech and “expressing support for illegal or terrorist organizations”.[9] Section 173 of the legal code makes it a crime to publish any “publication that is liable to crudely offend the religious faith or sentiment of others.”[29]
According to Wikipedia. The problem, of course, is that it won’t be enforced as long as hate speech is directed against specific groups of people.
…or spoken by other specific groups of people.
A few guys saying similar things got jailed and busted as a terrorist organization in the 90s, the thing is - Israeli institutions have degraded a lot. They have bloodthirsty imbeciles at helm.
He’s saying the quiet part out loud…
Haven’t you heard? All Palestinians are terrorists so this is fine.
Yes, even the babies. Actually especially the babies. /s
Sigh. As much as I hate Zionists, I’ll be the first to say this is not indicative of everyone in Israel nor should all Israelis be criticized for statements like these.
It’s the same thing as if an American pastor said shit. They do it all the time and it doesn’t matter (much).
Ahhh yeah the good cops can totally change the system from within!

Rabbi Eliyahu Mali and his Yeshiva are sponsored by Benjamin Netanyahu’s government
straight from the book of joahua in the old testament
The book of Joshua is archeologically completely anachronistic and false in the Southern Levant.
The early Israelites have only been found to have been peacefully cohabitating with the Canaanites and Philistines in the early Iron Age after they emerged as a population.
Personally, I think like a number of the pre-Judahite stories, that this was coming from an Aegean/Anatolian sea peoples forced relocation into the Southern Levant that ends up absorbed into the Israelite history.
‘Yeshua’ in Greek can go as either Jesus or Jason.
The Argonauts allegedly had a prophet Mopsus that died in the desert as they traveled by foot from a conflict in North Africa (not long before one of their elite warriors was killed by a shepherd casting a stone from a sling, actually).
There’s no walls at the Biblical Jericho at the time these events were supposedly taking place, but Mycenae around 1200 BCE has its walls fall down (and it seems not to have been an earthquake, which was a recent surprise).
There’s no evidence of the Israelites being a bunch of tribes conquering nearby cities and certainly not several across an ancestral homeland, but the sea peoples were a confederation of different tribes conquering their various home cities (at a time of various natural disasters were conveniently undermining powerful kingdoms, which was likely a factor in why they were so successful and why this period ends up mythologized with divine interventions).
At one of those battles the sea people were described as being without foreskins. This seems to be the same one day battle against Egypt that Odysseus claimed to have fought right at after the Trojan war.
The parallels get really incredible when you dive deeper into some of them. The recent Aegean style pottery made with local clay in Tel Dan, the only apiary in the “land of milk and honey” importing bees from Anatolia and worshipping an unknown bee goddess, and the song of Deborah (‘bee’), prophet and leader of the Israelites, talking about “Dan stayed on their ships” is super fucking interesting for example.
I think a lot of what we think we know about the Mediterranean at the fall of the Bronze Age is due to be turned on its head as the historians of antiquity like Herodotus, Hecateus of Adbera, Atrapanus of Alexandria, Tacitus, and Manetho end up validated with a number of things modern historians have been making fun of with an air of superiority (bizarre given the relative access to documentary and oral traditions and the relationship of that to the likely impacts of survivorship bias).
Or maybe not. There are a lot of weasel words in your write up, seems, alleged, etc, and not many mentions of hard evidence.
It’s a summary of around five years of sometimes rather nuanced research.
If there’s a particular area you want more details on, feel free to ask. But to actually include all the nuanced details for the summary above would take about 20 pages, and I really don’t think most people here care enough to wade through all that (nor do I care to write all that out on my weekend).
If you want a third party suggesting at least part of what I wrote above with some of the cited literature, you might want to read over this: https://armstronginstitute.org/736-were-the-seafaring-denyen-the-tribe-of-dan
You need hard evidence for events that were essentially before the beginning of written history, but apparently this isn’t necessary for their assertions. Weasel words, indeed.
Huh? Written history begins around 2,000 years before these events. What are you talking about?
A number of the relevant pieces of information are the details in contemporary written accounts from Egyptian or Hittite sources which range from royal records of conflicts to letters written between countries.
That’s how we know for example that there was actually a single day battle between Egypt and the sea peoples with Libya which Egypt wins and takes captives from seven years before an usurper Pharoh conquered Egypt. There’s literally dozens of pages written about that battle by Merneptah. Which then bears a striking resemblance to the mythical story in the Odyssey of Odysseus fighting a one day battle against Egypt where he’s taken captive exactly seven years before “a certain Phrygian” shows up to try to ransom him to Libya.
We even have records from Ramses III which describe the end of the 19th dynasty around the time of this usurper as Egypt having been conquered with outside help, switching to a form of government of city state governors, and “making the gods like men.” Claims that resemble the Phoenician form of city state government emerging at this time and the claims of Phoenician euhemerism “from around the time of the Trojan War” in Philio of Byblos.
Yeah, but it’s pretty shit. It’s far from reliable, the Bible counts as part of the historical record and we are reasonably sure there weren’t really any giants.
The rest is all Biblio of Biblios, I’m now aware what me rattling off a bunch of science information must sound like to people.
I was supporting your position anyway, you massive, swinging autist.
Why is it that followers of holy books always have a section or two that should be ignored when it’s convenient?
‘the word of God’, but you can toss out whole sections without a second thought, meanwhile, if you break what’s said in the other section you’re definitely evil
because religion is fake
Here is a list of the killings in Joshua.
The Jericho Massacre
Achan and his family are stoned and burned to death
The Ai Massacre
God stops the sun so that Joshua can get his killing done in the daylight
Five kings are killed and hung on trees
Joshua utterly destroyed all that breathed as the Lord God commanded
The genocide of twenty kingdoms
The Anakim: Some more giant killing
thanks God
To be fair to the old testament it’s not factual history. Those no proof of a Unified Kingdom of Israel and no proof for any of Joshua’s conquests. Even though we have evidence of much older kingdoms in the area such as Yamhad.
If anything the old testament has history reversed. In 722 BC the Assyrians destroy Israel (circa 1000 BC with capital always in Shechem). The refugees move to Judah (circa 900 BC). The Israelites took their religion and rebased it on Jerusalem AFTER Israel got sacked. This means a “Jewish” identity for Israel could not have taken off until the 600 BCs at the earliest. 4000 years of Judaism history my 🍑.
Maccabee came in the 200 BCs and forced people into what we now call Judaism. The reason why a complete Bible cannot be found from the BC era is because the Bible wasn’t finished yet.
-
The oldest fragment of the old testament says that the mountain around Shechem is the holy place.
-
The Bible says that a lot of the Judahites were bad but all of the Samaritans are bad.
-
The last us president advocated for nuking people. I don’t think nukes can selectively avoid babies. Surely that guys worse than even this disgusting rabbi. Unless you think we make the rabbi president?
Sometimes bad is just that. No need to classify as worse or better. Its just bad.
Just saying. There are millions of psychos in this world, why focus in on this one?
This one is backed by Netanyahu though, even though he has been controversial for a long time
Know who else Netanyahu backs…
Cinnamon buns taste better after you put them in the microwave.
I think you might be the first helpful person I’ve met on lemmy. Thank you.
It’s a build your own love story world. We have to write a good one otherwise AI will beat us to a bad one haha
Man if every one in the world judged every American based on what one crazy preacher said we’d be in some trouble.
No but most Americans feel free to judge me on my religion based on what a handful of crazy preachers say.
Yeah the problem there is the word handful.
Rabbi Eliyahu Mali and his Yeshiva are sponsored by Benjamin Netanyahu’s government
I’m guessing you’ve never seen CPAC.
Well, the prime minister, the finance minister and the head of defense all have said similar things over there in Israel. At some point you have to believe that what they are saying and their actions are speaking for themselves and their words and actions are saying “no one is innocent and even if they were we are still going to kill them all so we can get the land.”
I mean, it’s kinda like judging America based on Pat Robertson, the Westboro Baptist Church, Steve Bannon, Steve Miller, and Trump.
Yes, we should beleive people like Trump when they say how awful they are. The fact that he was elected and is the presumptive Republican nominee says a lot about the American right, right now. But it definitely doesn’t mean that Americans in general are awful people.
Are these people:
Pat Robertson, the Westboro Baptist Church, Steve Bannon, Steve Miller, and Trump.
Currently in charge?
Because Ben Gvir, Smotrich, and Bibi Netanyahu are all literally in charge of the country commiting genocide right now.
What’s the purpose of that “currently”? Because if you meant that what’s in the past is less real, it’s not. Just removed from us by one coordinate.
It means there was a majority of people who decided these people shouldn’t be in charge after witnessing what they did when they were in charge?
That wasn’t the case when they were in charge, obviously.
Their party is about to get shit canned, because Israel is a democracy and these people don’t represent the people.
Israel is a democracy despite that almost everyone who has power in the government is a racist genocidal maniac?
There’s no democracy in MENA.
I never understood why some people would say it was anti semitic to criticize Israel in certain ways, like people say the BDS movement is racist, but it’s exactly things such as this that made me start to see it, and now I can’t unsee it. People rabidly hold Israel to a different standard and only one explanation consistently makes sense.
One Jewish nutbag bloviating his hatred into the void is asserted by some as evidence the the whole of Israel has evil, genocidal intent.
Targeted bombings of tunnels, valid military targets, with cell phone warnings, pamphleting, and roof knocking is described as indiscriminate.
Not giving foreigners the same rights as natively born or naturalized citizens is called literal “apartheid.”
Israel must stop bombing immediately or America should burn our alliance and feed the Jews to Iran, only Israel though, for Hamas it’s all “keep up the good work! Death to America!”
Gazans aren’t foreign dumbass
Dumbass they are to Israel.
Palestinians in Gaza are natively born. They are not foreigners.
Fucking thank you, I am so tired of people marginalizing already heavily oppressed victims.
In what way aren’t the crazy preachers representative of a massive segment of the population here?
I gave you the grand old party.
Yeah, although if the American state were sponsoring said crazy preacher it would be an issue. The Rabbi and his Yashiva are sponsored by the Israeli government as the article makes clear.
I don’t know if you haven’t been paying attention to Mike Johnson and some of the Republicans lately but well…
They are turning into Nazis arent they? And i thought iron sky was far fetched. Instead, the Nazis have just infested the Jews!
The irony is ridiculous
Their Lizard People. Iron Sky 2

Ah yes, genocidal fascism reappears. Marvellous. (Not)

Judaism doesnt follow New Testament
The Golden Rule predates the New Testament by a significant margin… In fact nearly every culture has this concept of mutual reciprocity, even if not explicitly stated.
The Golden Rule predates both.
The Golden Rule predates both.
Wow, Egyptians, 2000 BCE. Thats setting the ole Wayback Machine to high.
Wow, perhaps, but if you think we’re going to leave you here, you are most definitely in DE-NILE!
Mr. Peabody
There’s a story in the Talmud about Hillel the elder, a rabbi who died in 10 CE:
There was another incident involving one gentile who came before Shammai and said to Shammai: Convert me on condition that you teach me the entire Torah while I am standing on one foot. Shammai pushed him away with the builder’s cubit in his hand. This was a common measuring stick and Shammai was a builder by trade. The same gentile came before Hillel. He converted him and said to him: That which is hateful to you do not do to another; that is the entire Torah, and the rest is its interpretation. Go study.
Yep, it’s generally a stereotypical Hassidic thing to quote Hillel at random moments
Which is why it’s thankfully still not as genocidal as both its offsprings.
People calling for genocide and murder of children are those who are far removed from humanity. They’re a nasty burden that the modern society hasn’t learned to deal with yet.
Oh we know how to deal with it, the problem is such psychopaths have a tendency to climb power structures easily to protect themselves from consequences.
Apostasy. The religion of Judaism abhors murder. That Rabbi should be defrocked.
Are rabbis even frocked?
It you frock one
degloved
defenestrated
No it doesnt.
This is nothing new. Israel doing has been doing this for decades.
It’s basically the same as what Hamas has been saying forever. Basically both sides want eachother wiped out.
Ah yes organized religion
Judaism in theory is not one (like there’s no religious leadership, no central authority, and no clear idea who should be burned as a heretic). But in Israel they have the main rabbinate (maybe even two, I don’t remember) and have built a pretty hierarchical structure, not really resembling Jewish religious organizations anywhere else.
Just because it is not the RCC doesn’t mean it isn’t organized. There is a spectrum between random people building ancestor shrines and the pyramid structure the Catholics have. Judaism lies much closer to organized side of the spectrum.
And I’m this particular case, with the government directly funded this shaman with tax dollars, we can be even safer to say that.
There is a spectrum between random people building ancestor shrines and the pyramid structure the Catholics have. Judaism lies much closer to organized side of the spectrum.
That’s what I said, it doesn’t. There’s no hierarchy in Judaism, at all. Except for Israel, again.
Anyway, every religion gets turned in all the ways the encompassing society wants it turn. Say, speaking of “Taoism in China” is impossible, because that’s a myriad of things, both in terms of the cult itself, and the structure, and whatever else.
Jews in Israel and internationally, please Stand up to your government. You know this is wrong. Kill the babies? Listen to what they are saying.
Your government is fucked up. You have let fear and revenge drive your country to madness. Look in your hearts, would a loving and just God want this? I don’t care what any book says, look in your heart. You know this is wrong.
Every western government has been complicit in this genocide. USA most of all. None of this could have occurred had it not been for the funding and the diplomatic cover provided by our governments. It’s up to all of us to make it stop.
Oh yeah? Pray tell, how do we do that? And mind you, you’ve also got Iran in play, Egypt is doing its thing, and they would both react in their own way.
Like would you suggest NATO troops on the ground? How do you think Hamas would react to that?
What tactics has the West utilized against Russia that they have not employed against Israel?
Economic sanctions. Apply them to Israeli leadership in the military and in politics. Plus Business leaders and bankers. Prevent Israeli banking institutions “from accessing SWIFT, the international system for financial transactions, and restricting access to Western financial markets.” Ban Israeli access to international goods and services import as well as export. Let’s see how long their military can go without oil.
Well, I think the US public has been pretty vocal about this compared to most issues. People are really pissed at Biden. So don’t change the subject.
I think it’s time we start publicly shaming Israelis and Jews who don’t make strong statements condemning the murder of civilians and protesting the reckless-at-best and seemingly genocidal actions of their government.
publicly shaming Israelis and Jews
This is about Zionism. It’s not about Jews. If you make it about Jews you are falling for the Zionist tactic of equating the two. Do better
Really I just meant the international community of Jewish people. Many of them have strong opinions about matters related to Israel.
As a member of the international community of Jews, I think what Israel is doing is monstrous and disgusting. But I am in no way responsible for what they do. I don’t live there, I’ve never been there, and I have zero ability to influence Israeli policy beyond expressing my disapproval, which I often do.
Stop spreading the misinformation that Israel = all Jews.
I understand your frustration at what I am saying, but I believe you have more influence over the Israeli people than I do as a non-jew. Am I wrong? I just imagine that Israeli jews would take more seriously and be more introspective after receiving critical comments from a fellow Jewish person, who presumably is more in tune with the worries and historical context of the Jewish community than a non Jewish person is.
My opinion is more easily decried as antisemitic or ignorant and waved away. Yours is not.
When Christians do horrible things in the name of god, don’t you think being called out by other Christians is going to carry some more weight?
What would make you think this? Just because we happen to share an ethnicity doesn’t mean an entire nation will listen to me or give me any entitlement to tell them what to do. Nor is it my responsibility, as a Jew.
And people who make decisions based on ancient mythology aren’t exactly making rational decisions in the first place, so I don’t know why an appeal on that basis would work. I may be a Jew, but I’m also an atheist. The last thing this situation needs is more religion.
I think it’s time we start publicly shaming Israelis and Jews who don’t make strong statements condemning the murder of civilians and protesting the reckless-at-best and seemingly genocidal actions of their government.
Are you deliberately trying to use the same language as was used against Muslims 20 years ago?
No, I guess I don’t get your reference, unless you are referring to 911?
If so it would be the Americans needing to condemn their government for invading Iraq, not the Muslims condemning 911.
Lets not include Spain and the Republic of Ireland on it, who have even tried to get the EU to sanction Israel for this.
But yeah, the rest are a disgrace, after the US especially Germany, who once again because of the etnicity of the aggressors, unwaveringly supports their committing of genocide along etnic lines and were the political and media “elites” even deploy Goebbels-style propaganda on this against its own populations. It was pretty dissapointing for me to see that whilst the national socialist party of the german worker is gone (though at the hands of others, not because it was kicked out by the Germans themselves), their cold violent racist ways are alive and well, at least amongst the German “elites”.
Is that guy part of the government?
and internationally
Jewish people have nothing to do with Israel. There is no greater burden on them than us
Perfect example of the antisemitism channeled by this war…
Same kind of bullshit of asking a random Muslim on the street to denounce IS when they bombed something…
Exactly.
Not exactly like every Jew is Israeli, in fact Israel is the one trying to force the narrative that they are, because it reinforces that narrative to those Jews when people actually do antisemitic shit
It’s a settler recruitment strategy.
Not to mention the view that being anti-genocide is antisemitic - a deeply stupid, dishonest, antisemitic position that gives the best possible justification one could give for the extermination of the Jews.
