Army says Amichai Friedman’s comments ‘don’t align with its values’ after he told soldiers that Israel would make its former settlement bloc in Gaza look ‘tiny’
ed note–Again, we’ll forgo the usual extended commentary in favor of something shorter and more-to-the-point, which is that the Jews have intended ALL ALONG to steal the entirety of the Middle East as specifically described in their infernal Torah, and with no deviations, diversions, or debates, to wit–
‘On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abraham, saying ‘To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates’… –Book of Genesis, 15:18
‘And God spoke unto us saying, ‘Go to the hill-country and all the places nigh thereunto… in the Arabah, the hill-country and in the Lowland…in the South and by the sea-shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates…Go in therefore and possess the land which the Lord swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, unto them and to their seed after them…’ –Book of Deuteronomy 1:6–8
‘Every place whereupon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours, from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall be your border…’ –Book of Deuteronomy
‘…From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even unto the great river, the Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border…’ –Book of Joshua
Haaretz
The rabbi at an Israeli military training base celebrated Israel’s actions in Gaza with messianic fervor and exulted over Israel someday controlling a swath of territory from Lebanon to Gaza in a video that went viral on social media Sunday.
The military said he had been summoned to meet with superiors and explain himself.
Rabbi Amichai Friedman, the rabbi at the Nahal Brigade’s training base, addresses a group of young soldiers in the video. He tells them that when he daydreams and imagines that ‘there are no murdered, no hostages, no injured people,’ he’s left with ‘maybe the happiest month’ of his life.
He is then quoted going further by saying ‘The land is OURS. The whole country! All of it! Including Gaza! Including Lebanon! The whole promised land!’.
He then explains that ‘we have reached the point where the people of Israel are moving to a higher level. We were born 75 years ago as a new people.’
‘We built a foundation, we started working on our bodies, and we grew, finding our identity and what we wanted to do with ourselves: what is good, bad, evil, and impure and what we want to preach’ to the world, he continued.
As the soldiers chant and cheer, he concludes with ‘the whole country is ours, all of it, including Gaza, including Lebanon!’
‘The entire promised land!’ he says. ‘We’re returning to it big time! Gush Katif’ – the former Jewish settlement bloc in Gaza evacuated in the 2005 disengagement – will be tiny compared to what we’ll achieve with God’s help!’
He concludes by saying that Israel teaches the world ‘what goodness and justice are and what morality and values are’ and vowing that Israel ‘will eliminate evil and uproot Hamas, we will destroy our enemies, destroy all of them.’
The military said in a statement that ‘the conduct of the officer as seen in the video does not align with the military’s values and directives. The officer was summoned for a clarification meeting with his commanders and will be handled accordingly. The military will not permit this type of unacceptable discourse among its ranks, in routine times or in wartime.’
