(Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, center, the spiritual leader of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, addresses a convention of religious Jewish women in Jerusalem on June 28. Photo: EPA)89 year old Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, spiritual head of the religious Shas party in Israel’s government has made the following comments:
“Abu Mazen ( Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas) and all these evil people should perish from this earth” “God should strike them and these Palestinians — evil haters of Israel — with a plague.”
The US called the comments 'inflammatory' whilst Netanyahu's Government distanced themselves from them (though we know they are sympathetic to them).
Note that the picture is from an address to Jewish women yet not one person surrounding the outspoken and racist cleric is female ... how many are from Brooklyn I wonder?
