Israeli Official and Rabbi describes US president as "a slave” ruling the world Printer friendly page Print This

Rabbi Ovadia Yosef

Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, spiritual head of Israel's ultra-Orthodox Shas party which forms part of Israel’s ruling coalition, criticized US president Barack Obama on Saturday describing him as “a slave” who rules the world and who wants to control Israeli policy when it comes to building in occupied Jerusalem.   In his weekly sermon, Yosef protested that “American insidiousness tells us  to build here and not to build there as though we were slaves working for them” then he adds that “We live in a time when slaves are governing us and are trying to control us” refusing the US administration request to stop illegal settlement building on Palestinian occupied territories.

“We are not employees of the Americans.. and Israel does not work for the United States!” asserted Yosef.

The Rabbi then addressed the Haram al Sharif (Dome of the Rock) issue saying:  “and where is our temple?!  The situation there is cause for grief!  There is nothing there but evil Arabs who are occupying our lands… and I hope that the messiah will appear soon to destroy them.”

An Israeli government official has publicly insulted the president of the United States and US Zionist controlled media has of course kept a lid on the story.  Israeli apartheid and racism is no longer just confined to us ‘evil Arabs’, it now goes all the way to the president of the United States.  While criticizing and insulting the American president is of no consequence to Israelis, criticizing Israel or the Jews is of course unacceptable, “anti-Semitic” and can even lead to legal procedures in the US and Europe.  Even the FBI last week has been accused of being “anti-Semitic” for having arrested a few Rabbis in New Jersey.  Will Americans allow Israelis to call the US president  “a slave” without so much as asking for an official apology from the Israeli government?  When will Americans learn how to speak other languages in order not to be at the mercy of politicized Zionist-controlled media?
