Re: Baruch Goldstein and Ovadia Yosef
Look up the laudatory eulogies for settler terrorist Baruch Goldstein ("a righteous man;" "hundred thousand Arabs are not worth a single Jewish fingernail") and some of the right-wing propaganda to get a flavor of just how sick anti-Arab racism is among large segments of the Israeli public ("The Lord shall return the Arabs' deeds on their own heads, waste their seed and exterminate them, devastate them and vanish them from this world," according ot Rabbi Yosef
LOL
If you believe Shas is the 3rd most supported party in Israel, you just confirmed my suspicions as to your ignorance of Israeli politics. The sentiment of a nation cannot be expressed in generalizations, but rather the deeds of the persons. Baruch Goldstein was for the most part vilified in the Israeli public, as he should have been - he descended to the level of a Palestinian.
Ovadia Yosef is a crackpot and is regarded as such in most parts of Israel. He is the leader of the Shas party, a party that is made up 100% of, and caters specifically to the needs of, Mizrachi Jews who fled from Arab countries to Israel. You wonder why he may have a little thing against Arabs?
