Of course, not all Israelis are as bad as this particularly vile racist Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, but judging by the lack of condemnation from his speech, his views are quietly accepted by quite a few Israelis.
In light of what is currently going down in Gaza – state terror and repression on the part of Israel against it’s occupied native peoples in Palestine, it’s safe to say that this type of rhetoric is pretty rotten, and revealing.
But there’s more… Israeli crowds seem to be baying for more blood in a very macabre party-like atmosphere, as crowd shout, “May your children die, you dogs”: As Gaza burns, some spoiled Israelis feel compelled to cry for blood in streets. Very sad. Watch video:
And here are Israeli students really lapping up the blood, chanting, “Death to Arabs”…
Charming. That’s what 70 years of brainwashing has achieved. Notice the difference in standards of living between Israel and Gaza, a polarity which pretty much says it all.
Back in cosy Europe, Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks in Great Britain, also let slip some Zionist, pro-war propaganda during a recent interview with BBC’s Radio 4.
One thing is absolutely certain though – if he were an Iranian cleric speaking against the state of Israel, his speech would be transmitted to the top of every major western news agency and touted as “proof” that the Muslims are planning another Holocaust against the Jews. This actually happened – well, sort of, back in 2005, after Mahmoud Ahmadinijad’s speech at Columbia University in New York. According to FAIR’s Steve Rendell:
“The menacing threat has been repeated endlessly in U.S. corporate media in recent years: Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for Israel to be “wiped off the map.” “Iran,” “Israel” and “wipe” in one form or another occur together in more than 17,000 articles in the Nexis news database over the last seven years. It plays a critical role in the case for pre-emptive war against Iran. There’s just one problem: It never happened.”
Yes, that’s right – the entire basis of the US, UK and Israel’s posture against Iran – is all based on a massive lie.

Ron Paul was someone who has helped pave the way for those who choose the path of liberty. He is someone to aspire to and has been a rare role model in a politic desert dominated by self and special interests.
“It’s amazing, and honestly terrifying, that we had a man like this running for President – and we ended up with someone like… Obama. I work for the government but would happily lose my job if it was for the good of our country (why can’t our politicians do the same).” – Anonymous

From BBC’s “Big Impression”, in Christmas 2000…
The opening features McGowan as newsreader Huw Edwards. After, Eminem writes obsessively to Sir Jimmy Savile in the hope of a Fix-it. Starring Alistair McGowan and Ronni Ancona.
The last lines by McGowan (as Savile) are a little spooky, however, where Jim is offering to ‘fix it’ with a ‘private trip to Alton Towers’…

… At 9.51pm on Wednesday, an email popped into my inbox from an individual I had never encountered. No introduction, no pleasantries, no context, and no frame of reference, except the line in the subject box: “Newsnight & the guilty men”. The tone was brusque, abusive and could even be construed as threatening, and it was an attempt to steer me off any further reporting of the online naming of the figure or figures at the heart of the abuse scandal.
And it came from a producer at the BBC.
Why would someone in such a post at the institution which occupies such a central role in the Jimmy Savile story, try to persuade me that abuse survivor 
That master of the dark arts, Alistair Campbell, coined a term for what I experienced yesterday, and narrated it in his memoirs when discussing the “sexing up” of the dodgy dossier which was used to justify the invasion of Iraq. Campbell aggressively attacked the notetaking capabilities of Andrew Gilligan and the editorial judgement of the BBC, and as Nick Davies describes it “used it as a decoy to distract attention from a highly embarrassing story”.
“This move finally established the decoy story as the main media line,” Davies continues.
“The original questions about the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction were shunted into the sidings. Several political reporters wrote at the time that this looked like a diversionary tactic.”
In his diary for that day, Campbell noted: ‘Flank opened on the BBC.’
