Israel is in the midst of a growing controversy over the replacement of chief rabbi, Brig. Gen. Rafi Peretz, of the Israeli Defense Forces. His replacement will be Rabbi Col. Eyal Karim, who has been denounced for suggesting that Israeli soldiers are morally justified in raping Muslim women during wartime as well as other misogynistic statements.
Karim is the head of the Rabbinate Department in the Military Rabbinate and an alumnus of the Bnei Akiva Nachalim and the Ateret Cohanim yeshivas. He is also a former paratrooper and commander of the elite reconnaissance unit.
In 2012, Karim made his statement as part of the religious website KIPA. He was asked, given certain biblical passages, if IDF soldiers were permitted to commit rape during wartime. He responded:
“Although intercourse with a female gentile is very grave, it was permitted during wartime (under the conditions it stipulated) out of consideration for the soldiers’ difficulties. And since our concern is the success of the collective in the war, the Torah permitted [soldiers] to satisfy the evil urge under the conditions it stipulated for the sake of the collective’s success.”
What is astonishing is that Karim also previously opposed the inclusion of women in the military as morally indefensible to protect the “modesty” of Jewish women:
“In a situation such as the one during the War of Independence, in which there was a real pikuah nefesh [matter of life or death] of the Jewish people, women also participated in the defense of the nation and country, even though the situation was not so modest,” he wrote. “But in our era, we do not live with a real threat to our survival. . . . And because of the liable damage to the modesty of the girl and the nation, the great rabbis and the Chief Rabbinate have ruled that the enlistment of girls to the IDF is entirely forbidden.”
The head of the Knesset Committee on the Status of Women and Gender Equality, MK Aida Touma-Sliman, denounced the appointment. Likewise, the chairperson of Na’amat Movement of Working Women & Volunteers, Galia Wolloch, called for the withdrawal of the appointment for a man “who thinks that rape is okay as a morale-booster for soldiers.” Meretz party leader Zehava Galon has condemned Karim for “his frightening, racist, and inflammatory statement” regarding wartime rape.
The IDF has stood by its nominee and issued a statement from Karim that he now “wishes to clarify that his words were only uttered in response to a theoretical hermeneutical question, certainly not to a practical halachic question.” Ok, what exactly does that mean? The above quote seems more than a hermeneutical discussion. More importantly, it may be difficult to explain to the rape victim that her assault was more hermeneutical than actual.
UT,
“Yosef frequently made use of the slogan “Restore past glory” (להחזיר עטרה ליושנה) as a metaphor embodying both his social and halakhic agenda.”
Sound familiar?
Israel has outlived its usefulness. Because of the need to cease burning fossil fuel, securing oil in the ME for Western oil interests, is now irrelevant.
Evil urge satisfaction alternatives: liver, jello, pie, livestock…
All over t world there are people who fall into the mantra that their poop does not stink– that they are better than others and their family, their couutry club members, their religion, their high school and their college is better than others. This is a human trait. If you are reading this and you are a human you must consider ways to confront this and stop your children and others from falling into the poop don’t stink trap.
This rabbi a-hole thinks that all Jewish soldiers are in the catagory and that their need for a roll in the hay outweighs a woman’s right to say no to the dong. The rabbi needs to get rear ended by a gang of perps from say Mongolia. I am not speaking of a car collision.
This guy is guiding the soldiers that are protecting Israel’s evolution. Here in America we are trying to weed out people like this, people who would teach cops to kill first on a hunch, especially if the suspect is of a color or ethnicity that he or she associates with danger. We have the sickness but are aware of it, despise it, and as is the American way, will attempt somehow to heal. Now, here is Israel, putting the sickest of the sick in charge of their future, the blind leading, teaching, creating more blind. If human evolution is understanding ideals and striving to reach them, Israel is on its way back to the stone age in that regard. If any part of a nation should be secular and objective, treating everyone regardless of race color or creed equally, it should be the military. Perhaps forcing the rabid hasidic curly fry ones to do their military service is not such a good idea.

He did not want Jewish women in the military because he feared they would rape Muslim men.
Geneva convention
Rule 93. Rape and other forms of sexual violence are prohibited.
International and non-international armed conflicts
The prohibition of rape under international humanitarian law was already recognized in the Lieber Code. While common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions does not explicitly mention rape or other forms of sexual violence, it prohibits “violence to life and person” including cruel treatment and torture and “outrages upon personal dignity”. The Third Geneva Convention provides that prisoners of war are in all circumstances entitled to “respect for their persons and their honour”.
The prohibition of “outrages upon personal dignity” is recognized in Additional Protocols I and II as a fundamental guarantee for civilians and persons hors de combat. Article 75 of Additional Protocol I specifies that this prohibition covers in particular “humiliating and degrading treatment, enforced prostitution and any form of indecent assault”, while Article 4 of Additional Protocol II specifically adds “rape” to this list The Fourth Geneva Convention and Additional Protocol I require protection for women and children against rape, enforced prostitution or any other form of indecent assault.
Zionist Puppets For President

Clinton, Trump and Sanders are all Zionist puppets. All of them provide cover-up that ‘Israel did 9/11’ They advocate murder and continued U.S. / Israeli war crimes. According to U.S. and International Law all the U.S. / Israeli invasions are Wars of Aggression, War Crimes. Anyone who supports the Republicans, Democrats & Israel are accomplices to murder. They are Zionist Terrorists. The U.S. Government, Democrats & Republicans are infested with Zionists. America is occupied by Zionist Terrorists.
Real Jews Denounce Israel’s War Crimes
I believe Hillary Clinton to be the favorite among the Zionists and the most dangerous.

No, no. Such abhorrent views have nothing to do with religion.
Right?
A 90 year old rabbi. Some rabbi answering a question based upon strict interpretation of the OT, Talmud, etc. Is this the best the anti-Israel crowd can do?
Pulling out a few extreme views or out of context extreme views does not counter the mainstream, fully approved views and proclamations of Muslim imams, etc., throughout the world. And I refer to imams in civilised Western nations in addition to whatever comes out of the Islamic nations.
Dude seems to be a couple of “eras” off.
Read up on how they view Christians.
Hint, they view us as nothing more than slaves.

Rabbi Yosef: Gentiles exist only to serve Jews
By JONAH MANDEL
10/18/2010
The Jerualem Post
The sole purpose of non-Jews is to serve Jews, according to Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the head of Shas’s Council of Torah Sages and a senior Sephardi adjudicator.
“Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world — only to serve the People of Israel,” he said in his weekly Saturday night sermon on the laws regarding the actions non-Jews are permitted to perform on Shabbat.
According to Yosef, the lives of non-Jews in Israel are safeguarded by divinity, to prevent losses to Jews.
“In Israel, death has no dominion over them… With gentiles, it will be like any person — they need to die, but [God] will give them longevity. Why? Imagine that one’s donkey would die, they’d lose their money.
This is his servant… That’s why he gets a long life, to work well for this Jew,” Yosef said.
“Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat.
That is why gentiles were created,” he added.
Yosef’s Saturday night sermons have seen many controversial statements from the 90-year-old rabbi. In August, Yosef caused a diplomatic uproar when he wished a plague upon the Palestinian people and their leaders, a curse he retracted a few weeks later, when he blessed them along with all of Israel’s other peace-seeking neighbors.
This is not a good choice. They need to rethink this.

Actually, most of the Millenials ARE too “pussified” to fight. Fortunately for them, they can sit in air conditioned computer rooms in front of a screen all day, pushing buttons to have satellite-guided drones drop bombs tens of thousands of miles away. There are some Southern boys and West Virginians in the Middle East doing real fighting, but their numbers are a fraction of the fighting forces of Patton’s day. In another 50 years, whites will be a minority in the U.S. and the Scotts-Irish who have historically led in wartime fighting will be pretty much gone, so wars will have to be push-button, tidy affairs.
He’s no better than the fundamentalist Muslims. He bases his morality on a 6,000 year old text, the Torah (first give books of the Old Testament).
Unfortunately, sex is a spoil of war. Always has been and always will be. If it ever isn’t, there won’t be any war — because the men will be too p*ssified to fight. I think Patton said something like this, too.
