Head of Lehava, known for violent campaign against Jew-Arab assimilation, risks arrest with public defence of setting fire to Holy Land churchesNevertheless, the incendiary comments could not have been more provocatively timed. They came after Moshe Ya'alon, Israel's defence minister, ordered the detention without trial of Mordechai Meyer, 18, for extremist activities believed to include starting a fire that badly damaged the symbolic Church of Loaves and Fishes in Galilee in June.

He was one of three extremists detained after Benjamin Netanyahu's government was prompted to launch an unprecedented offensive against "Jewish terrorism" following an arson attack by suspected hardline settlers in the West Bank village of Duma last Friday that killed a one-year-old Palestinian toddler and gravely injured his parents and brother.Benzi Gopstein, the outspoken head of Lehava - which has drawn notoriety for its violent assaults on Jewish-Arab assimilation - made the remarks at a panel discussion for Jewish yeshiva students when asked by a fellow panelist if he believed burning down churches in Israel was justified.

He later tried to evade accusations of inciting his followers to fire-raise, saying it was the government's responsibility to carry out what he presented as a religious teaching of the 12th century Jewish philosopher, Maimonides.

“Did the Rambam [Maimonides] rule to destroy [idol worship] or not? Idol worship must be destroyed. It’s simply yes – what’s the question?” Mr Gopstein told the panel.

His comment alarmed his questioner Benny Rabinovich, a journalist, who told him: "Benzi, I must say I’m really shocked by what you’re saying here. You are essentially saying we must go out and burn down churches. You’re saying something insane here.”

Told by another panelist, Moshe Klein, rabbi of Israel's Haddash medical centres, that the discussion was being filmed and that his remarks could lead to his arrest, Mr Gopstein answered: “That’s the last thing that concerns me. If this is truth, I’m prepared to sit in jail 50 years for it.”

He later retreated slightly after a recording of the exchange was posted on Kikar Shabbat, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish website. "I stressed several times I was not calling to take operative steps, but that this is the Rambam’s approach and that it’s the responsibility of the government, not of individuals," he said in a statement.Also arrested was Meir Ettinger, grandson of the late Meir Kahane, a Jewish rabbi notorious for racist beliefs who was murdered by a Palestinian in 1990.

Mr Gopstein, Lehava's founder, is a one-time member of Mr Kahane's Kach party, which was banned because of its racist philosophy.

However, Shin Bet - Israel's domestic intelligence agency - recently concluded that there are no legal grounds for similarly outlawing Lehava, despite a request from Mr Ya'alon to consider doing so.

Two of the group's members were recently jailed for setting fire to Jerusalem's Jewish-Arab Max Rayne Hand in Hand school last November. Hebrew graffiti reading "Kahane was right" was sprayed on a wall of the school.

Mr Gopstein was arrested along with 20 other Lehava members for suspected incitement to violence last last year but has so far not been charged.

Lehava - whose name means "flame" but is also the Hebrew acronym for "prevening assimilation in the Holy Land" - regularly holds open gatherings in Jerusalem's Zion Square, where members distribute literature warning of the dangers of relationships between Jewish women and Arab men.The group held a demonstration at which members chanted "death to the Arabs" outside a wedding between a Muslim and Jewish woman who had converted to Islam during last summer's Gaza war.

It also staged a protest against last week's gay pride march in Jerusalem, where an ultra-Orthodox Jewish man attacked six participants, leading to the death of a 16-year-old girl.

The purpose of this piece is to tell you to forget your Christian faith and start hating on the Jews....

So you can drop your Bible and start hating on the Jews! You and the Arab man that doesn't consider you as human should gang up together and start hating on the Jew because the Jew is your common enemy.

But in the scheme of things, the Arab does not really see the African as a human!

Stale news!

Jews have been oppressing Christian’s for decades.

One even spat on a nun of recent.

But also, Jew don’t believe in Christ.

They still 100% better than Muslims
Everything and everyone is infidels
But the black stone is Allah's right hand on earth
Black stone will have eyes mouth and intercede for them on judgment day .

What is paganism ?

Africans need to be serious, Build beautiful worship center for your Yoruba Eledumare let people come and worship with you in a clean tilled and decorated worship center for Ifa Ifa olokun,

Do the dirty rituals in secrete. Build beautiful worship centers like the catholics and do your rituals in private like the catholics

Formulate a unique structural Design for our religion and implement it globally among worshipers
Just as islam and churches have a branded structure, Have the same tall beautifully design structure for ifa worshipers too and show respect for the ifa scriptures

That’s religion stop fooling yourselves around.

Worship the God you can relate with not the foreign Gods

Religion na scam

the way you fuccccckkkiing Muslims lies is unbelievable. Annabi Mohammed is a waste of spam

Hehehe.

Let's also check how many churches and Christian's that have been massacred in northern Nigeria alone.

All these religion war thread's been created up and down won't help anyone.

What about how Christian's destroy ATR shrines in the name of deliverance.

The on going violence of Moslems in Kwara state is something no Moslem want to talk about.

We forget easily that ATR is also a religion in Nigeria.

Let's stop the hate,and tell ourselves the truth.

Let's preach humanity first, respect the golden rule and act as people with conscience.

Although burning a religious worship centre is wrong, but desecration of other religious books isn't bad and you're ok with that?
Christianity is a hypocritical religion. When Qur'an was desecrated in Sweden and Denmark most Christians all over the world clapped for the act and called it freedom of expression. Now they are receiving WotoWoto from their long time masters (Jews) whom they have been asslicking for killing Palestinians and they're crying foul!
We stand by the Rabbi that designated christianity as 'Idolatry religion '.

Christianity rebuilt Israel and gave them back their nation and saved them from Hitler

There must be something right about Christianity for everyone to hate them without reason. We preach peace and accommodate EVERYBODY just like Jesus did
There’s only one way to the God the Father and it’s through Jesus Christ His Son

Jews, Muslims, hindus, even gay people hate us for fear of us because we have the true Promise

Christians say jews are chosen people, so they don't have the moral locus standi to complain about the atrocities jews are unleashing on palestinian christians. I saw a video clip on youtube showing jews passing by spitting in contempt on two christian priests standing in a corner on a narrow alley in jerusalem. Today, jews are running an apartheid state where christian Arab Palestinians (people who have been christians since the time of jesus) and other palestinians are basically treated like slaves. There's even a bill before knesset seeking for a law to ban the preaching of christianity in Isreal. Jews don't care a hoot about christianity and christians, who they regard as polytheists on account of their belief in trinity. Yet, christians keep mouthing chosen people - the same people humiliating, maiming, and killing fellow christians! If you say jews are chosen, special creatures that means you as christians regard yourselves as inferior to jews.

What about the Nigerian Jews?

When they realize religion is fraud' especially the pastor

Ok

I don't see anything special about the jews as a Christian.... I value that Jesus Christ gave us all equal rights and responsibilities through His Sacrifice on the cross of Calvary to which once anyone accepts ;He is a spiritual jew.

They hated His Son and even crucified him... Them hating christianity is a confirmation of the Word of Jesus Christ.

Keep arguing nonsense, so God in is mercy never used any African person to communicate sense to anyone.

All of you should be ashamed that you didn’t document your grandfathers and grandmother wisdoms in books. That’s what the jews and the white have done perfectly and that’s scripture.

Start today it’s not too late.

Our fathers and grandparents are full of wisdom equivalent to what is written in the Bible and Quran of not better. Louise Farrakhan Scriptures will be better than that of Moses’s 2000 years from now.

You lazy African brain start documenting your own History. Start from your grandparents document everything they said and protect it as sacred.

Drop those foreign Gods. embrace your true God. Pay attention to yourselves. Discover yourselves. Review all your natural believes make some logically informed adjustments.

Leave Jesus of Nazareth and Mohammed of Soudi alone. If you people are any sensible you should know that the God of China is greater than all these gods. The God of China gave them so much wisdom that now make the world even easier for most people, how could anyone get stocked on Jesus of Nazareth and Mohammed of Saudi Arabia.

Respond not to those people talking from their anus

Even is isreal wipe off all christians on earth. They will keep licking their ass. I winder if those guta think with their brain.


Same isreal that lauvhed civil war in southern Lebanon christians in 2006,

Killing Palestinian christians daily.

Calling christians idol worshippers

Yet, you can't help but lick their ass

"Worship the God you can relate with not the foreign Gods".

I'd rather suggest you actively search for the God who made the heavens and the earth and gave you life. The consequence of not finding Him means that when we die, we will NOT be resurrected into a new world where no one will ever die. He is very near to each of us and can readily be found by those who are sincere and truly want to find Him.

But if you are happy for this short and brutish life to be all you had, then go ahead and worship whatever "god you can relate with".
