The "Art" of Violence and Racism !

By Nahida Exiled Palestinian




 They are the "humans" surrounded by "animals"




  Ideological Roots:

"Jews have Divine souls, humans have animal souls"

Nefesh HaBahamis (Animal Soul), Nefesh HoElokis G-dly Soul)


Jews, as we shall see, are different from Gentiles. Jews have a spiritual purpose, Gentiles a physical one.1 This can be compared to hands and feet.”

every Jew has the nefesh (life force) of every human being known as the Nefesh HaBahamis (Animal Soul). His additional soul, neshomah, is also known as the Nefesh HoElokis (G-dly Soul).”


“Contrary to the hopes of our egalitarian society and legislation insisting on the sameness of men and women (let alone the sameness of people), the fact is that it is a secret of Torah that Jews are functionally different from non-Jews. This is not an easy concept to accept in the beginning of travels in Torah. We have been educated to believe a series of fictions in our generation, one of which is that there really are no differences between people. Clarifying this fiction should not be confused with the noble ideal of equal rights and opportunity for all. Nevertheless, man remains different from animal, man from woman and Jew from Gentile.”

“Jews as different in levels of mercy, modesty and acts of goodness”

“A Jew is different in that he has a neshomah, an additional level to the life force of other human beings.”

“the distinguishing element of the Jew is the Neshamah (soul) that every Jew possesses. The soul of the Jew is different than the soul of the non-Jew. They have different characteristics, potentials and needs. Every Jew has essentially the same type of soul as any other Jew.”

Rabbi Eliezer Shmetov, Chabad-Lubavitch emissary in Montevideo, Uruguay





 Ideological Roots:

Wars of Aggression

 “When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are to possess and casts out the many peoples living there, you shall then slaughter them all and utterly destroy them…You shall make no agreements with them nor show them any mercy. You shall destroy their altars, break down their images, cut down their groves and burn their graven images with fire. For you are a holy people unto the LORD thy God and He has chosen you to be a special people above all others upon the face of the earth…” –Book of Deuteronomy, 7:1-8

“By contrast, war against nations "that lie very far from you" cannot be justified as a form of religious self‑defense. As typified by the wars during the reigns of kings David and Solomon, they are wars of pure expansion and aggression. Yet they too are God's wars:
"…and when the Lord your God delivers it into your hand (verse 13)…and enjoy the use of the spoil of your enemy, which the Lord your God gives you (verse 14)."”


milchemet reshut (discretionary war) - a war of aggression. The Torah permits such a war to expand the borders of Eretz Yisrael, to capture captives, or because the King of Israel decides that war is good for the country and for God”
Milchemet reshut is war against other nations to enlarge Eretz Yisrael and increase its prestige.”
Ki Tetzei
Rabbi Jacob Chinitz

Wars of Extermination

THE LAWS OF KINGS AND THEIR WARS
6) The obligation to destroy the seven nations living in the Land of Canaan;
7) The prohibition against allowing any one of them to remain alive;
8) The obligation to destroy the descendents of Amalek;
9) The obligation to remember what Amalek did;

Fate of Amalek:
“David waged a sacred war of extermination against the Amalekites …………………….so that it seems as though the nation had actually been exterminated


Today’s amalek: Iran and Palestine

“Schmuel Derlich and Israel Hess have promoted the idea that the Palestinians are the new Amalekites and must be dealt with accordingly. Apparently Netanyahu has altered this line of thinking to identify the Amalekites with the Iranians …”

“That would mean that we have to ANNIHILATE THEM.”

“AMALEK…..The ONLY GROUP OF PEOPLE G-D ORDERED US to RID THE EARTH OF”.


 In today's application:
Gilad Sharon, wrote an op-ed on Sunday:
 
 "We need to flatten entire neighborhoods in Gaza. Flatten all of Gaza.
"Among the latest horrifying examples of incitement to mass murder by Israeli public figures, Gilad Sharon, the son of former prime minister and notorious war criminal Ariel Sharon, has called for the Israeli army to "flatten" Gaza as the US flattened the Japanese city of Hiroshima in 1945 with an atomic bomb.
"The residents of Gaza are not innocent, they elected Hamas. The Gazans aren't hostages; they chose this freely, and must live with the consequences," wrote Sharon in the extremist publication The Jerusalem Post. Sharon elaborated:

"We need to flatten entire neighborhoods in Gaza. Flatten all of Gaza. The Americans didn't stop with Hiroshima -- the Japanese weren't surrendering fast enough, so they hit Nagasaki, too.
There should be no electricity in Gaza, no gasoline or moving vehicles, nothing. Then they'd really call for a ceasefire.
Were this to happen, the images from Gaza might be unpleasant -- but victory would be swift, and the lives of our soldiers and civilians spared."
Sharon added that "There is no middle path here -- either the Gazans and their infrastructure are made to pay the price, or we reoccupy the entire Gaza Strip."
As of Sunday night, the end of the fifth day of Israel's air assault on Gaza, more than 70 Palestinians, half of them civilians, had been killed in hundreds of Israeli airstrikes" Source
They demand extermination
