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.
