In a recent sermon, the "spiritual leader" of the Sefardi Torah Guardians, a large and powerful factor in Israeli politics, called upon God to kill the Palestinians in general and Abu Mazen in particular. Another rabbi has written a book that explains when, according to Jewish law, it is permissible to kill non-Jews.
While it is certainly troubling that among Israel's rabbis there are thinkers who rival the mullahs of Iran in their benighted extremism, it is almost more troubling to see the solidarity of much of the orthodox religious establishment in support of these disgusting figures.
