A group of 18 prominent rabbis, including the chief rabbi of Safed, signed a call urging Jews to refrain from renting or selling apartments to non-Jews.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Well, I\u2019m happy to hear that the wise rabbis are on the job, spreading morality in the universe.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
The rabbis\u2019 letter, which was originally published months ago, urges Jewish owners of apartments to reconsider renting their properties to Arabs since it would deflate the value of their homes as well as those in the neighborhood.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Just in case the idea of reduced property values doesn\u2019t get the job done, well there\u2019s always threats from the neighbors:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
The rabbis also urge neighbors of anyone renting or selling property to Arabs to caution that person. After delivering the warning, the neighbor is then encouraged to issue notices to the general public and inform the community.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
One of the capos of this little crime family is Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, son of a former chief rabbi of Israel:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cYou can say the word \u2018racist\u2019 20 times,\u201d Eliyahu once told an interviewer. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t have an effect on me. By the way, Jewish religious law prohibits the selling of apartments to Arabs and the renting of apartments to Arabs.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Have I ever mentioned that religion is a terrible source of morality?\u00a0 I\u2019m sure I\u2019ve written about that somewhere\u2026.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
