After all, this is exactly what the invaders of Israel knew... the Assyrians, Babylonians... kill 'em all. Destroy the temple. When the Romans did it last time, it made sheep of us for twenty centuries. Hitler did it, too: kill all of them, man woman, and child. Burn the shuls and desecrate their sacred objects. Show no mercy. So did Saddam Hussein, of wretched memory. You can call it Torah if you want, but we have clear examples of this much closer ro our times. Oh, and in the Torah, these were battles ordered by G-d. I'm sure this Lubavitscher nutjob thinks he's in communion with the Divine, but that seems all the more reason to have him committed.

Hasn't anyone ever told them two wrongs don't make a right? Or that Friedman's wish for genocide against the Palestinians would make jews no better the Nazis by committing the same crimes? If people really want peace in the middle east, do what the Palestinians have asked for and other Arab and muslim nations are willing to agree to: In return for respecting Israel's peaceful existence, remove Israeli squatters from Palestinian land (the so-called "settlements"), and make the West Bank and Gaza into Palestine, a two-state solution, as per the 1967 borders. Even better, once the squatters are removed, the houses could be given to the Palestinians whose homes were destroyed by Israel as part of collective punishment against civilians (which is a war crime), against relatives of bombers who had no involvement in the crimes. That would really show a commitment to peace, in the same way many Palestinian victims of Israeli military action have denounced violence by donating their organs to jews who need transplants.

Shoshana, I quoted the entirety of Rabbi Friedman's statement to Moment, as you can see if you click through. I don't know what you could possibly mean by "taking his words out of context." I'm frankly surprised at the number of comments, both here and at the JTA post that links here, that try to defend Friedman by implying that this quote is somehow invented. The people at Moment, where it appeared, are nothing if not fair, thorough journalists. If you don't like what was said, blame the speaker, not he messenger.
