By Gilad Atzmon: Israeli press reported today that Israel’s chief (Sephardic) rabbi Yitzhak Yosef called black people “monkeys” during his weekly sermon.During his weekly sermon, the rabbi used the Hebrew term for nigger before going on to call a black person a “monkey.”
Following wall to wall condemnations from around the world, the Rabbi’s office insisted that the rabbi was actually “citing a passage from the Talmud."
In fact, we should thank the rabbi rather than condemning him. The grossly offensive statement he made yesterday puts Israeli current attitude towards African refugees in a historical, religious and cultural context.
If you want to understand the Jewish State you better dig into the 'J word' and understand the complex relationships between Jews, Judaism and Jewishness.
