Mistranslating peaceful Rabbi Yosef – anti-religious Haaretz’s bigotry

March 8, 2011


Mistranslating peaceful Rabbi Yosef – anti-religious Haaretz’s bigotry


How anti-religious-Jews, the radical Haaretz has mistranslated [again] R. Ovadia Yosef when he spoke about Arab terrorists.


Haaretz in “translating” the speech, used the term: “haters of Israel” in an attempt to translate “Sonei Israel” which was always (even before the re-creation of the state of Israel) and is really Jew-haters or ‘haters of the people of Israel’ – referring to the Jewish people, not connected to the state of Israel – which misinformation portal Haaretz makes it so erroneously sound.


True, the above terminology is used by religious Jews, some ignorant secular Israelis tend to mistranslate it, but one would expect more from such a [sadly] well known and recognized media outlet.


Had Haaretz properly translated the original speech, it would come out clear that R. Yosef was referring exclusively to Jew haters among the Arabs, not all Arabs. As well as the proper context – his reference to murder and terror within that speech, the unfair generalization of Arabs would then be avoided, and subsequently the demonization of religious Jews.


The sad part is that international media outlets like the BBC relies so strongly on Haaretz, especially in its anti-Jewish rant, which is why neither Haaretz nor the BBC have published R. Ovada Yosef’s own declaration on the Arab press that he clearly meant only Arab terrorists and murderers, and had included by no mean ‘Arabs’ per se.


So far, neither the BBC nor Haaretz, had publish R. Yosef’s declared clarification.


It’s just another cheap, yet vile attempt by anti-religious radicals in an effort to “equalize” the sides in [supposed] extremism, (Haaretz, caught up in major anti-Israeli Arab propganda, is also champion in Israeli media, to pull out -so irresponsibly- the term “racism” out of its sleeves, a lot, so quick to define any discomfort from the lack of security stemming from Arab attacks targeting Jews as “racist”, yet, will still hesitate to define the racism-motivated Arab attackers, in that fully deserving term) while the sad uneven reality is that the radical Mullahs preaching annihilation of Jews and glorifying mass murder in ‘jihadism’ are paraded routinely on “moderate” media of Palestinian and other Arab mainstream outlet, just look them up on PalWatch and on Memri.



Rabbi Yosef clarified that his sermon was misquoted, that he was referring to annihilation of Arab terrorists and not of all Arab people, and caled upon his party to look for peace and security…

 הרב עובדיה מסביר בראיון, המובא כאן במלואו, שכאשר כינה את הערבים “נחשים”, “נמלים” והציע להשמידם, התכוון רק לטרוריסטים. הוא אומר עוד: “הוריתי למנהיגי מפלגתי לחתור לשלום ולביטחון”


(In an interview published in 2001 in London-based al-Sharq al-Awsat and Kuwaiti paper al-Watan, he said, “I deeply regret the human suffering caused to innocents, but the source of this should be pinned on the Palestinian leadership.)



Rabbi Ovadia Yosef clarified the Arab press the “speech snakes”


הראיון נערך לאחר מגעים ממושכים עם העיתונים. The interview was conducted after lengthy negotiations with the newspapers. הרב עובדיה מסביר בראיון, המובא כאן במלואו, שכאשר כינה את הערבים “נחשים”, “נמלים” והציע להשמידם, התכוון רק לטרוריסטים. Rabbi Ovadia explains in an interview, presented here in its entirety, when he called the Arabs “snakes”, “ants” and offered to destroy them, meant only to terrorists. הוא אומר עוד: “הוריתי למנהיגי מפלגתי לחתור לשלום ולביטחון” He says further: “I told the party leaders to seek peace and security”


אבישי בן חיים ועלי ואקד Avishai Ben Haim and Ali Waked פורסם: Released:  22.10.01, 13:58 22:10:01, 13:58 


פרסום ראשון: מנהיגה הרוחני של ש”ס הרב עובדיה יוסף העניק ראיון רחב היקף לעיתונות הערבית העולמית. הראיון התפרסם היום (ב’) בעיתון הלונדוני “א-שרק אל אווסט” ובעיתון “אל ווטן” הכוויתי. (לראיון המלא ראו קישור מימין) First Published: Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef gave an extensive interview in the international Arab press. The interview was published today (Monday) in the London [based] newspaper A – Sharq Al Awsat  and in the  Kuwaiti Al Watan. (Full interview, see link right)



הראיון נערך בשבוע שעבר, יומיים לפני רצח השר רחבעם זאבי. The interview was conducted last week, two days before the assassination of Minister Zeevi. עורכי העיתונים שלחו את שאלותיהם בפקס והרב עובדיה יוסף כתב את תשובותיו בכתב ידו, התשובות תורגמו, הודפסו ונשלחו אל מערכות העיתונים הערביים. Newspaper editors send their questions by fax and Rabbi Ovadia Yosef wrote his answers in his own handwriting, the answers were translated, printed and sent to Arab newspapers systems.


לריאיון הנדיר קדמו מגעים שנמשכו חודשים בין דובר תנועת ש”ס איציק סודרי לבין עורכי העיתונים עבדול רחמן אל רשיד ומוחמד אל ג’זים באמצעות צד The rare interview was preceded by negotiations that lasted months between Shas spokesman Itzik Sudri and newspaper editors Abdul Rahman Al Rashid and Mohammed Al-gill by side
 
שלישי. Tuesday. הרב עובדיה יוסף נתן את הסכמתו כבר בחודש ספטמבר, אולם פיגועי הטרור בבנייני התאומים דחו את ביצוע הראיון עד לשבוע שעבר. Rabbi Ovadia Yosef gave his consent already in September, but the World Trade Center terrorist attacks postponed the execution of the interview until last week.


בהנהגת ש”ס ראו חשיבות רבה בקיום הראיון וזאת בשל סדרת ההתבטאויות של הרב נגד ערבים בשנה האחרונה, התבטאויות שגררו איומים על חייו. בין היתר כינה הרב יוסף את הערבים “נחשים”, “נמלים” ואמר כי “צריך להשמיד אותם ולתת להם טילים על הכיף כיפאק” (ראו קישור מימין). Shas leadership saw the conducting of the interview of great importance due to the rabbi’s remarks series against Arabs in the past year, statements dragging death threats. Among other things, Rabbi Yosef called the Arabs “snakes”, “ants” and said that “We must destroy them.. “(see link right).


בראיון מסביר הרב יוסף שבדבריו אלו התכוון רק לטרוריסטים הערביים ולא לציבור הערבי כולו. In an interview with Rabbi Yosef explains his words are meant only to Arab terrorists and not to the entire Arab public. לדבריו, סולפו דבריו: “וכל מה שרציתי לומר הוא שהתכוונתי לאותם שפלים האחראים לשפיכת דמם של ישראלים ואחראים להתקפות שביצעו רוצחים מהשטחים הפלסטינים”. He said that his words were distorted: “all I wanted to say is that I referred to those  responsible for spilling the blood of Israelis and are responsible for attacks committed by killers from the Palestinian Territories.”


לדברי מנהיג ש”ס, כל ממשלות ישראל, כולל ממשלת שרון, רוצים להגיע להסכם עם הפלסטינים, “בתנאי שאלו יפסיקו את פעולות הטרור והשנאה”. עובדיה מוסיף: “הוריתי למנהיגי מפלגתי לחתור לשלום ולביטחון, גם אם הדבר כרוך בויתור על אדמות הכלולות בהבטחת אלוהים לבני ישראל”. According to the leader of Shas, all Israeli governments, including the Sharon government, want to reach an agreement with the Palestinians, “provided that these [Palestinians] end their terrorist acts and hate”. Ovadia adds, “I instructed party leaders to seek peace and security, even if it means relinquishing land included in God’s promises to the children of Israel. ”


מנהיג ש”ס מביע צער על כך שההנהגה הפלסטינית חסרה את האומץ להגיע לשלום עם ישראל. לדבריו, הדת היהודית מעדיפה את ערך האדם על פני כל דבר אחר, כי ליהדות ולאיסלאם היסטוריה מפוארת של חיים משותפים. Shas leader expresses regret that the Palestinian leadership lacks the courage to make peace with Israel. He said that the Jewish religion would prefer the human value over anything else, that Judaism and Islam glorious history of living together.


הרב סיפר בראיון כי חלק מהספרות היהודית נכתבה במדינות המוסלמיות במהלך תור הזהב של השפה והספרות הערבית. The Rabbi said in an interview that some Jewish literature written in Muslim countries during the golden age of Arabic language and literature. מנהיג ש”ס קרא לשיפור תנאי החיים של הערבים בישראל ואמר כי נתן הוראה ברוח זו לשרי ש”ס. Shas leader called for improving the living conditions of Arabs in Israel and said that this spirit has ordered Shas ministers.


בעקבות הריאיון צופים בש”ס שיתקיימו מגעים בין הרב עובדיה יוסף לבין מנהיגים דתיים איסלאמיים. Following the interview, expect to be held contacts between Shas Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and Islamic religious leaders.

Tips to posters on public forums fighting anti-Israel bigotry

June 23, 2010

Tips to posters on public forums fighting anti-Israel bigotry 


IMPOSTORS

* Arab, Muslim posters have been known for being impostors, posing as “Christians,” as “white Nazis,” even as “Jews.”

* True, there are some radicals in the west, that post against Israel, yet, the overwhelming majority of the anti-Israel and anti-Jewish posters, today, are Muslims.

* Anti-Israel posters –like anti-Israel bigoted “activists”– cover their intolerance-agenda by “worrying” about “poor Palestinians,” which in reality, no one could care.

PRO-PALESTINIAN IS A SHAM – ITS ANTI-ISRAEL

Don’t buy the “pro-Israel” face, its never about caring FOR Arab Palestinians, otherwise they would divert all the energy in helping them get out of their self-inflicted  misery, instead they try very hard to damn Israel in front of cameras and making anti Israel headlines in the media, it’s just easier to go against Israel in a frame of “pro Palestine activism.”

Real pro-Palestinianism is almost an extinct specie.

CASUALTIES

[BODY COUNT IS NOT ALWAYS TELLING WHO THE VICTIM IS]

* What would have happened if ‘mighty’ Israel’s army wouldn’t be so humane and careful about Arab civilian lives?  The question is not how many would die, but, How many would survive?

* What would happen if the Arab Muslims would be so successful military-wise, would there be an Israel? or how many God-forbid Jews would have perished in their ultimate genocide goal?

* If the Arab-Muslims (Palestinian or Hezbollah) hadn’t used their civilian population, would there still be “massacres,” as they like to call it?

* Who are the targets of the Arab-Muslims? Army personal, or predominantly unarmed Israeli men, women & children?

DAVID VS GOLIATH

* Did you get a chance to look at the N.E. map lately? who’s threatening whom? including the “misunderstood” genocidal Islamic president in Tehran seeking to wipe off map 7,000,000 ?

* Arab Palestinians possess a much more powerful weapon, Israelis don’t have, as Israeli soldiers’ hands are tied every time there’s a crowd of unarmed Arabs, the cynical terrorists surround themselves by.

DETECTING BIGOTRY LURKING BEHIND “INNOCENT CRITICISM”

Pay attention to those that in the habit of:

* Highlighting any rare abuse case by an Israeli policeman, more than in such cases when occurring in the west.

* Obsession about Israel, singling it out.

* Demonization of all of Israel, the entire state/society/nation.

“Seeing” women & children only on the Arab side and ‘seeing’ all of Israel as nothing but one big “tank.” [This dehumanization can be detected easily through the lines, of never admitting of Israeli suffering].

* The racism of labeling all Israel does as ‘racist.’ mainly, ignoring the real picture of Israel’s fight for survival – constantly.

* Simple, crude lies about Israel’s democratic system (albeit, this might be tricky, many are simply unaware and plain ignorant, in that case it might not be intentional).

RACISM?

* Unlike the scene of the Arab-Palestine side, Israel’s a cosmopolitan country, society, with colors, races raging from the whitest of whites to the darkest of blacks.

* Israelis, Jews or Arabs are equally subject to check points, security -saving lives, is what motivates Israel’s policy, always, though the frequency of ‘checkpoints’ on roads, are stricter and more scrutinizing in the Palestinian-Arab areas, where terrorism is more frequent.

* What motivates Arabs,Muslims to target Jewish civilians (excluding Arab Israelis) just for being Jews? Is it not Arab racism & Islamic bigotry?

* What were the excuses of the Arab-Muslims in 1929 Hebron massacre on the verge to ‘kill Jews.’ was it the “occupation” of almost 40 Years later?

* Can you point to me 25% of Arab Palestine to being non-Arab, as a parallel in pluralistic democratic Israel where its 25% Arab population have full rights?

Or any Jew is prohibited from residing in racist apartheid Jew-free Arab-Palestine?

* Point to me a group, organization equivalent of B’tzelem or any other Jewish Israeli human rights groups advocating on behalf of Arabs, Is there anyone on the 100% racist Arab side that cares about Jews?

RACE, ARAB RACISM & “SEMITES”

* If there’s such a thing as “race,” then, Arab Israelis and Arab-Palestinians are of the same “race.” Even Jimmy Carter (who used the “apartheid” slur in his book after he was paid by the Arab lobby) admitted on CNN (Larry King Live) that Israel is a free and equal democracy for Arabs & Jews alike.

* If Arabs are pure “Semites” can be disputed, however, anti-Semitism, historically was always referred to anti-Jewish bigotry, exclusively, [come to think of it, if Arabs are in fact “semites,” then Zionism can never be “racism,” the hypocrite racists Arabism can’t have it both ways], in reality, racism is in one’s mind, as long as the Arabs see the Jews as a separate creed and hate it blindly, they are the true racists. Sorry, but they just can’t hide under “we are Semites” crap.

Virtually all minorities in the Arab world are effected one way or another (through violence, persecution or “plain” discrimination) from Arab racism, Kurds by Syria currently, by Iraq mainly under pan Arab racist: Saddam Hussein), Assyrians, pre-Arab invasion true indigenous Lebanese (Phoenicians), indigenous N. Africans (Berbers), Persians (Iranian), Blacks (in Sudan, Mauritania and in Arab countries), Copts (indigenous Egyptians), Jews, Asian maids (slaves – rather) in the gulf states, etc.

RELIGION AND THE BIGOTRY BY ISLAMISTS

* Israeli society is not religious, most IDF soldiers are secular, Israel’s policy is monitored by security issues and realism only.

Arab-Palestine society is by in large religiously Muslim. So is the “conflict” from their point of view. The “Allah u Akbar” when (attempting in) massacring Jews is a Muslim thing, of course.

In fact, Jews are hardly the only ones, fallen prey to the religious intolerance by Muslims, virtually all non-Muslims in the Muslim world, and many, even beyond, have been effected (more noticeably, Christians in the middle east and in Asia, non-Muslim Chinese in Indonesia, Hindus in India, Buddhists in S. Thailand, and Bahai in Iran) either by direct terror violence, expantionist Jihadism, religious fanaticism and any part of Islamists’ attempts in their Islamicizing the globe [by any means necessary] goal.

A tiny note, in Judaism, there’s no call to convert anyone to Judaism, tolerant Judaism says you don’t have to be a Jew in order to enter heaven. (see: Noahide laws).

Sorry, but ‘all religious extremism’ today are NOT all alike.

* The most extremist Zionist will only reach its “peak” to an attitude of asking Arab Palestinians who won’t accept Israel’s state and rule, to just leave the area towards Jordan (which was the original Transjordan-Palestine idea, to grant the Arabs, this idea by the very tiny minority among radicals is also known as “transfer”), nothing resembling that total genocide aim by their Islamic counterparts.

* A 2007 poll of Palestinians, where 75% don’t “give” Israel a right to exist, speaks volume of the radicalism in mainstream Arab-Palestine VS Israelis that by-in-large are even willing to go the extra mile and give the Arabs another state, a new one, which never existed before in history, an ‘Arab-Palestine,’ on top of the already 22 Arab states.

Try to conduct a poll about Jews in any moderate Arab country (as a matter of fact, a few years back, PEW’s finding about attitudes towards Jews in such an Arab country like Jordan, showed 100% negative) or street, you might already guess what you’re about to find out about mainstream Arab-Muslim bigotry.

Also, that despicable diabolic Islamic mythology of dehumanization of non-Muslims, like: ‘Christians are pigs and Jews are apes,’ [often shown in Palestinian media, and Mosques and in Saudi Arabian schools] is exclusively that, Islamic.

IT DIDN’T START IN 1948

The usual Palestine-song is “all was fine until the (re)establishment of Israel in 1948′

Fact: Arabs, Muslims have been attacking the Jews of Palestine in 1834 (Safed, many indigenous Jews – victims of a massacre & mass rape campaign of 33 days), 1920 (Jerusalem, and other locations), 1929 (Hebron massacre), 1939 (Tiberias), etc.

CAUSE = INTOLERANCE

It [historic perspective] matters, because the root cause was never about land, but about intolerance. Though the slogans sometimes change, according to the conditions, providing any “updated” excuses.

The Satanic Arab-Muslim theme running through their childhood education and inspirational religious icons are along the lines of: “Jews are not humans,” and ‘Kill a Jew – go to heaven’ doesn’t exist in the Jewish education system.

INDIGENOUS “PALESTINIANS” FROM… ARABIA, SYRIA & EGYPT

Prompted by that racist Arab Helen Thomas’ outburst of calling to an ethnic cleansing of Jews (June, 2010), we should all remember and remind everyone else, to the true origin of Palestinian Arabs, who were (previously) either called Arabs or S. Syrians, where their majority’s roots are from, some have migrated from Egypt, S. Arabia and other regional Arabian zones.

The two major differences between both immigrations are, 1) The Jewish immigration was highlighted, scrutinized and restricted by the British, while the Arab migration was allowed to flow and not even recorded so frequently. (It might have been a result of attempting to appease the Arab population).

2) [Unlike Arab relatively new history in the area] There was always a Jewish presence in the area, it is a well known fact that some Jews in Pekiin (for example) have stayed for all the generations, dating back 2,000 years, to the destruction of the second Jewish temple by the Romans who changed the name Israel to “Palestine.”

Don’t be fooled by such ideas like: color, as Arab Palestinians are “brown” so they must be from there… and yes, over 50% of Israeli Jews are of “brown” color as well.


A note about posters “inspired” by Nazi-hate sites.

1) FACTS?

Yes, we have all seen the crappy “facts” the “jew watchers” haters put up, never highlighting what Jews by-in-large help around the world in an over-representative way, like over 2/3 of their donations are to non-Jewish causes, or doctors without borders, helping the homeless, feeding the poor, or in any humanitarian cause where the Jewish minority in the world is so PROMINANT and over represented, but they will highlight ONE (out of thousands, or even in a larger ratio) dubious obscure “story” [true or false] of a person, that may, or may not be connected to a “jewish” origin, Well, that’s what hate is for.

2) INFERIOR ARAB RACE & NAZIS
The amazing thing is how such low life losers-Muslims are involeved in the “white nazi oroginated” supremacy sites, as we all know how Hitler has regarded the Arabs as a inferior race almost as LOW as the Jews, he saw them as half apes… he only managed to use the Arab Muslim nazi Mufti in his war against the Jews, but he would have burned them all in the oven, after that… of course.

3) NON-JEWISH COMMUNISTS & WHITE CHRISTIAN JOSEPH STALIN
Most of the communist were non Jews, but why not blame anything you can think of on the MINORITY Jews? While the awful truth is, the butcher of those so many Christians, Joseph Stalin was rather a white Christian who studied to be a PRIEST, he especially persecuted the Jews, very much so.

4) FAKE QUOTES
They also like to repeatedly quote the FAKE (or out-of-context) “quotes” of the Talmud (already exposed many times over), when they will NEVER quote the real peaceful humanitarian quotes of the Talmud.
Nevermind that most Israelis are secular, so is the army and most don’t even know what the Talmud says.

5) ARAB CONTROL ON MEDIA & ON U.N.
…Not only are the majority of Jews in the media anti-Israel critics… (remind me again on who’s side are CNN journalists or a tycoon like Joe Soros?) but the owners of mainstream media is controlled by such Arab Muslim billionaires as Saudi Bin Talal, checkout how much he owns of the elephant CNN or evn of Foxnews…

That’s besides the very “original” pure own Arab media flooding the west like Al Jazeera…

Or BBC? They have admitted openly (a few years back) of being anti-Israel biased, so much for “control in the media.”

The case of total ARAB MUSLIM CONTROL in amnesty and in the UN (aided in part by the international Arab oil lobby power), is far worse, which “exlains” the obssessive senseless almost boring “condemnations.”
