Say, remember how the wire services all managed to point out that in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attack on yeshiva students, outraged Israelis chanted “Death to the Arabs”?
Think this call for revenge will get as much notice by the world media?
“The biggest revenge on the goyim is for them to see how much God loves the people of Israel,” Rabbi Ovadia Yosef said Thursday at a mass memorial service held for the eight victims of last week’s terror attack at the Mercaz Harav rabbinical seminary in Jerusalem.
“The (victims’) souls will (go to heaven) and send the messiah to the nation of Israel,” the Shas spiritual leader said.
Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger said during the ceremony that “we hear calls that are not in line with the way we were brought up. Underground organizations of any kind are unwarranted, according neither to the Halacha nor to any other worldview. The call should be aimed at the government and the prime minister, to do everything so that the killers and their friends are brought to justice, literally.”
This won’t rate so much as a mention in the world media. Just watch. Why on earth would they want to publish a story that portrays religious Jews in a good light? That doesn’t fit the narrative.
What time is it, folks? That’s right. It’s Israeli Double Standard Time, which occurs only on days that end with a “y.”

Believe it or not, Palestine Today in Arabic did report on the Chief Rabbi’s similar words:
