Rabbis issue racist statement against non-Jews

Over 40 rabbis of the Zionist regime of Israel signed a racist statement urging the government not to sell or rent properties to non-Jews, explaining it is a sin.

Israel is a state built on occupied Palestinian land which claims that non-Jewish citizens are guaranteed full rights. It is estimated that one-fifth of Israel's population of 7.5 million are Arabs.

The statement has escalated tension between Jews and Israeli Arabs. 

The rabbis who are paid by the state also alleged that selling or renting properties to non-Jews may fall the property values. The statement also raised concern over mixed marriages.

The Zionist government of Israel, which proclaims to the international community that Israel protects human rights, has denounced the statement. Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu said the statement was “undemocratic”. But no action was taken against the rabbis.

"Such things should not be said, neither about Jews nor Arabs," he said.

Rabbis are known for promoting hatred against non-Jews or gentiles. They believe that they are the only people chosen to be in a covenant with God. They claim that Jews are superior over other humans. Some radical Jews also promote the idea of spilling the blood of non-Jews, and strongly reject a peace process leading to the withdrawal of Israel from the West Bank.

Shmuel Eliyahu, the chief rabbi of Safed, in northern Israel, has earlier urged that the signed statement should be applied specifically to Arabs.
