Of course, the Israeli government will disown these people as a danger to regional peace efforts.

Right?

Right?

"According to the book’s author, Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira, 'Non-Jews are “uncompassionate by nature' and should be killed in order to 'curb their evil inclinations.'"

How compassionate... and not at all cray-cray.

That sentence made my irony meter head for the nearest employment office to seek a job as a Geiger counter. The note it left behind says "less danger of exploding due to overload."

should be killed in order to 'curb their evil inclinations.

I think killing them will do more than 'curb' their evil inclinations...it will probably end those inclinations altogether.

Come on people, let's get our infinitive verbs right when we're being completely batshit crazy.

What.

......I can't...

[slurp]

No... I can't with religion sometime. I was arguing with this guy who was denying the fact that saying "All Arabs..." is racist. Then he said, "it might be racist, but it's in the bible". And after that I just never know what to say.

[amyura]

That's pretty funny considering the word "Arab" doesn't actually appear anywhere in the Bible. Lemme guess-- he was a fundamentalist or evangelical?

Sorry for the late reply. He was Jewish, and he was referring to "sons of Ishmael".
