The chief rabbi of the Israeli settlement of Teqoam, which some Palestinians regard as illegal, condemned Jewish settlers for allegedly setting a mosque on fire in the early orning hours of December 11.

Said Menachem Froman to local media, “This is just insanity, blasphemy, an insult to Judaism before Islam.” “What [these] settlers did does not represent the settlers, nor Jews,” Froman added.

Rabbi Froman vowed that he would lead a large group of Israeli settlers to help the Palestinian village rebuild its mosque as penitence for “the crime that was committed by the settlers.”

Rabbi Shlomo Amar, who leads Israel Sephardic Jews, is expected to issue his own denunciation on Sunday, December 13, following the Jewish Sabbath.   »»» Spero News (U.S.)
