There are monstrous fools, racists and lunatics in every country and religion.

This dangerous fool is likely to succeed in getting a genocide, only not the one he's looking for.

And here I thought that everything was upside-down before this business....

Perhaps some of his former students are running the WEF and came up with that whole 'you will own nothing and be happy' thing....?

Full tweet:

Rabbi says on tape - “Let’s just start with whether Hitler was right or not,” he told students. “He was the most correct person there ever was, and was correct in every word he said… he was just on the wrong side.”

“Yes, we’re racists. We believe in racism… There are races in the world and people have genetic traits, and that requires us to try to help them,” he said. “The Jews are a more successful race.”

“The gentiles will want to be our slaves. Being a slave to a Jew is the best. They’re glad to be slaves, they want to be slaves,” he told a class in one of the video clips. “Instead of just walking the streets and being stupid and violent and harming each other, once they’re slaves, their lives can begin to take shape.”

What is Pre-Army Yeshiva?

Self-described Zionist pre-military Academy was established in 1991. Today it is one of the leading Academies in Israel that train Zionist soldiers.

This man is training kids and believes Hitler was right about Jews but chose the wrong side. No wonder so many innocent Palestinians are murdered by IDF and settlers.

the shit said in the actual article makes it worse:

“All around us, we are surrounded by peoples with genetic problems. Ask a simple Arab ‘where do you want to be?’ He wants to be under the occupation. Why? Because they have genetic problems, they don’t know how to run a country, they don’t know how to do anything. Look at them.”

and

“Let’s just start with whether Hitler was right or not,” he told students. “He was the most correct person there ever was, and was correct in every word he said… he was just on the wrong side.”

Redler goes on to say that pluralism is the “real” genocide being perpetrated against the Jewish people, not Nazi Germany’s Final Solution.

“The real Holocaust was not when they murdered the Jews, that’s not it. All these excuses — that it was ideological or systematic — are nonsense,” he said. “Humanism, and the secular culture of ‘We believe in man,’ that’s the Holocaust.”

and

Rabbis teaching at the Eli academy — a darling of the national religious camp for funneling of thousands of religious officers into senior combat positions in the IDF — have a history of making controversial and illiberal remarks.

In 2016, the co-founder of the Bnei David academy, Yigal Levinstein, was recorded in class calling gay people “sick and perverted. In another lecture that year, Levinstein claimed that drafting women to the IDF was making them “crazy” and stripped them of their Jewishness.

Bnei David’s other co-founder, Rabbi Eli Sadan, preaches against educating women, claiming that independent thinking “neuters their most important capability… to build the home.”

Last year, footage surfaced of another Bnei David teacher, Rabbi Yosef Kelner, lecturing students on women being “weak-minded” and possessing a reduced capacity for spirituality.

In 2017, then-defense minister Avigdor Liberman vowed to defund the Eli academy, but the move was blocked by the attorney general for legal reasons. Instead, Liberman announced that he would restrict the number of students as a punitive measure for the “constant sexism” at the Eli academy.

And these are the types of people "Liberals™" are telling you to support, while at the same time claiming MAGAts are the worst thing ever for the same ideology.

and of course;

After the footage was aired on Monday, Kashtiel and Redler, in a statement to Channel 13, acknowledged making the remarks but claimed the comments were taken out of context.

Kashtiel said he was “pained” that his “lesson on human rights” was misinterpreted, telling the network he meant the precise opposite, and was calling for “social responsibility and caring for the weak.” He said his references to slavery and racism were a “modernist-socialist interpretation” of those concepts.

In his lesson, Redler said he was simply trying to “explain Hitler’s morbid logic,” and accused the media of a “cynical smear” against him days before Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Rabbis teaching at the Eli academy — a darling of the national religious camp for funneling of thousands of religious officers into senior combat positions in the IDF — have a history of making controversial and illiberal remarks.

And it gets much worse, from another piece;

Kashtiel goes on to note that this submissive status is not nearly lowly enough for them. "The non-Jews will want to be our slaves," Kashtiel tells his students.

"Due to the abolition of legal slavery, there are now deficiencies, since no one is responsible for the property," says Kashtiel. "With the help of God, it will return."

And...

"There is the masculine world, that wages war, that is concerned with respect. And there is the soft, moral, feminine world, of turning the other cheek. And [the Nazis] think that it's the Jews that carry on that tradition, trying - in [their] words - to ruin all of humanity, and therefore they are the real enemy," says Redler.

And

The academy's Rabbi Yosef Kelner provides the answer in another online video: Summary execution. "To not follow the Torah and commandments is lack of morality and national treason," says Kelner.

"So now, can a nation protect itself from the traitors within?" he asks his students, then answers his own question. "For those who betray them, every sanction is legitimate - up to a bullet in the head."

In the run-up to the last national elections which catapulted Peretz into the Knesset, Israel's parliament, the academy permitted neither Netanyahu nor Peretz's predecessor, former Education Minister Naftali Bennett, to give guest lectures to their pupils. That prestigious honor was strictly reserved for Rabbi Rafi Peretz, their political leader of choice.

Sadly, this seminary of hate is no outlier; in 2016, its founder and present-day director Eli Sadan was granted the Israeli Prize, the state's highest award.

If there were any remaining doubts about Peretz' odious ideology, he dispelled them this week when his ministry co-sponsored a ceremony honoring another arch-racist Israeli rabbi, Yitzchak Ginsburgh.

Ginsburgh is the author of "Baruch HaGever," a book that lionizes Baruch Goldstein, who in 1994 committed the worst mass murder of Palestinians by a single gunman in history.

He was also the rabbi who published "The King's Torah," a religious manual that grants Jews the license to kill any non-Jew that they fear may one day threaten them, even babies.

Casual observers of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are unlikely to have noticed this last news item, seeing as it did not receive even a thousandth of the press coverage given to Peretz professing, and then backtracking, on his homophobia.

Local anti-racists who have warned about Peretz for years, however, were not surprised.

In 2016, when he was the Chief Rabbi of the Israeli Army, Peretz bestowed his prestige upon the author of "The King's Torah," Yitzhak Shapira, joyously dancing with him at his daughter's wedding.

Idolising assassins and loathing leftists, inverting the Holocaust and justifying genocide: these are the ideas that Israel's national religious camp imparts to its students, the ideas that they wish to instill in all Jewish youth, in Israel and abroad.

For over a decade, Netanyahu has presided over this insidious process. But now with Rafi Peretz as education minister, we can expect it to occur even quicker.

But hey, it's Palestinians that teach their children to hate right?

Edit: Meanwhile from 12 years ago;

Nurit Peled-Elhanan, an Israeli academic, mother and political radical, summons up an image of rows of Jewish schoolchildren, bent over their books, learning about their neighbours, the Palestinians. But, she says, they are never referred to as Palestinians unless the context is terrorism.

They are called Arabs. "The Arab with a camel, in an Ali Baba dress. They describe them as vile and deviant and criminal, people who don't pay taxes, people who live off the state, people who don't want to develop," she says. "The only representation is as refugees, primitive farmers and terrorists. You never see a Palestinian child or doctor or teacher or engineer or modern farmer."

Peled-Elhanan, a professor of language and education at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has studied the content of Israeli school books for the past five years, and her account, Palestine in Israeli School Books: Ideology and Propaganda in Education, is to be published in the UK this month. She describes what she found as racism– but, more than that, a racism that prepares young Israelis for their compulsory military service.

"People don't really know what their children are reading in textbooks," she said. "One question that bothers many people is how do you explain the cruel behaviour of Israeli soldiers towards Palestinians, an indifference to human suffering, the inflicting of suffering. People ask how can these nice Jewish boys and girls become monsters once they put on a uniform. I think the major reason for that is education. So I wanted to see how school books represent Palestinians."

In "hundreds and hundreds" of books, she claims she did not find one photograph that depicted an Arab as a "normal person". The most important finding in the books she studied – all authorised by the ministry of education – concerned the historical narrative of events in 1948, the year in which Israel fought a war to establish itself as an independent state, and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled the ensuing conflict.

The killing of Palestinians is depicted as something that was necessary for the survival of the nascent Jewish state, she claims. "It's not that the massacres are denied, they are represented in Israeli school books as something that in the long run was good for the Jewish state. For example, Deir Yassin [a pre-1948 Palestinian village close to Jerusalem] was a terrible slaughter by Israeli soldiers. In school books they tell you that this massacre initiated the massive flight of Arabs from Israel and enabled the establishment of a Jewish state with a Jewish majority. So it was for the best. Maybe it was unfortunate, but in the long run the consequences for us were good."

Children, she says, grow up to serve in the army and internalise the message that Palestinians are "people whose life is dispensable with impunity. And not only that, but people whose number has to be diminished."
