Fundamentalist Muslims quote the Koran and the Hadith when justifying their barbarism. The Taliban, the Iranian Mullahs, the Saudi Wahhabis and their Gulf Emirates poodles and their recent metamorphosis into an avant-garde of modernity ... We've seen them and heard them wavering on Al-Qaeda, ISIS and the rest of them. The Muslim radicals use and abuse the Koran to justify terrorism and hatred of the West.
But in the West, nobody reads the Koran. Islam hasn't been ligated into the DNA of the West.
But in the West, children and then adults are marinated, soaked, and stuffed with the Gospels and the Old Testament-Torah "Bible", so much so that they do not have the required distance from the whole charade to be able to quiz it and critically examine its contents. From the day we're born we are brainwashed to accept not that the garbage therein is mere drivel by self-inflating Bronze Age Arabian desert nomads variably known as Hebrews, who then transferred this fantastic legacy to Christians and then Muslims, but that it is the very word of God (even though, unlike Islam's Koran whose narrative is in the first person, i.e. by God-Allah himself, the Gospels and the Torah are in descriptive narrative in the third person about God, Yahweh, Jesus etc.). All three cults, incestuously born within a narrow geographical area whose diameter is about 1,200 kilometers, basically agree on the fundamental plot: Eden, the flood, weird pregnancies, obsession with sex, human sacrifice, prophets, and the ultimate climaxes of reawakening from the dead and the coming/return of the hero.
So when westerners hear that fundamentalist Muslims are blowing themselves up or chopping off arms or heads with dignity etc., they feel revulsion. It's not in their religious DNA. But when westerners hear that fundamentalist Jews and Christians are massacring tens of thousands of people from a plane or with a drone rather than face to face, they feel relief and not an ounce of regret because:
1. Killing innocent people from a distance is not gruesome; the perpetrator does not see his/her victim. It's like eating beef from a cow that only the butcher killed and saw dying. You did not do the killing and therefore can partake in the feast without guilt, and
2. The victims of Jews and Christians are oftentimes Muslim, you know, of that other monotheistic equally mind-numbing cult in which we have not been marinated and soaked into from our tender years.
It's that "imprinting" (Konrad Lorenz) from early childhood that makes people feel they (and their own cults) are right while the others are wrong. My cult is better than your cult, even though all three monotheistic cults stem from the same fountainhead of nomadic Bronze Age depravation, and each claims to have the "real" truth and the "better" religion.
As we're often told, watch what they do, not what they say.
Read below what spiritual leader and former Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel, Yitzhak Yosef, is saying, then compare it to the bullshit that fundamentalist Muslims utter on occasion. By the way, Mr. Yosef is the equivalent of the Grand Mufti of Cairo (Short of a Caliph) or the Pope of Rome. In his enlightened "reverend" status, he once decreed that Black Africans are nothing more than monkeys, although he and his ilk have long claimed that their religion is a "Light unto nations" and holds justice, morality and ethics at the core of their beliefs. They, who as we speak, are food-depriving, starving and mass murdering innocent women, men and children because Yawheh-God has told them it is their right to do so. In fact, the Great Zombie in the Sky told them 3,000 years ago - if you still insist on believing the garbage of the Scriptures - to invade Canaan (ancient Palestine) and kill every man, woman, child and beast because He is giving them another people's land, the Palestine of the Canaanites.
So Gaza in 2025 is only a sequel of the first genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine (2800 BC) by Israelites-Hebrews-Jews-Zionists-Israelis to which we, in the west, idiotically subscribe to because we are told from the moment we are born that it was the will of Yahweh-God as the torah-old testament clearly says. If you're a Christian or a Jew, you end up believeing what you read in the bible as if it was really the word of God. It's not. It's the word of hundreds of stinking rabbis and scribes over several centuries who wrote, copied, modified, added, inserted, deleted, proofread at will, so much so that what we read is essentially a medley of statements by bullshit artists determined to appear as the best of all the other nomads and to be Yahweh-God's favorite pet humans.
Is this the basis for the second genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine by people who in fact have no connection to the barbaric Hebrews of the Bronze Age? After the destruction of the temple by the Romans in 70 AD, the Hebrews did not leave Palestine and Jersualem as we are often told; they stayed, became Romans, then Christians (when Rome adopted the new Jewish cult known as Christianity as its official religion), then Muslims when the rabid Arabs conquered the Unholy Land.
Today's Palestinian people are a hybrid population of Canaanite residuals, Jewish invaders from biblical times, Greco-Roman conquerors, Christian proselytizers and Crusaders, Arab Muslim tribes, etc. Many of today's Palestinians carry the genes of the Hebrews of old. Even very biased Israeli scientists could not find a shred of evidence linking the Hebrews to modern Jews, let alone find any evidence for all the mythology (splitting oceans, miraculous pregnancies, frog-raining and other science-fiction stories). Meanwhile, the "modern" Jews with their blond and red hair, blue eyes, Russian clothes and Spanish traditions, and hybrid languages, are European (eastern and central Europe or Spanish stock converts to Judaism from a few centuries back). Even if their religion says all the stuff about the promised land and all that crap, they are not the Hebrews of old "returning" to Palestine. They are European colonial settlers who are using religion to justify seizing another people's land and mass murdering the land's original owners. They may have needed shelter from the antisemitic European Fascists, but that is not a license to kill, expel and deprive another people of their land and country.
Yosef's pronouncements below represent the soul of the Jewish colony in Palestine. He insists that studying the torah is the key to Israel's survival. No mention of F-35s, drones, missiles, nuclear bombs, etc. as the purveyors of Jewish wisdom across the entire planet.

IDF soldiers killed due to yeshivas 'neglecting Torah study', former chief rabbi claims

Yitzhak Yosef condoled the families of the five soldiers killed in Gaza's Beit Hanun in an open letter, calling for increased Torah study, implicitly denouncing haredi draft attempts.
The death of five soldiers, four of whom were from the IDF's Netzah Yehuda Battalion, in Beit Hanun on Tuesday was caused by a "neglect of Torah study," the previous Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel, Yitzhak Yosef, wrote in an open letter.
"We are to blame," Yosef wrote, adding a claim that "weakness in Torah study leads to disasters, such as the terrible tragedy of the soldiers' deaths in battle."
"To the precious Torah scholars of the yeshivas, may God bless them. I come here with an urgent call to strengthen and be strengthened in Torah study, especially in these days, the end of summer, when there is concern for laxity," Yosef wrote.
Many yeshivas take a summer break referred to as Bein Hazmanim (literally, between the times), when official studies are suspended and students typically leave the yeshiva setting.
"We received with great sorrow the bad news about the fall of the precious soldiers, may their memory be for a blessing, who gave their lives for the people of Israel. Our responsibility as Torah Jews is immeasurable," Yosef continued.

Yosef also called for "soul-searching," and sent his condolences to the families of the five fallen soldiers.
Notably, Netzah Yehuda is a battalion comprised primarily of Orthodox and haredi (ultra-Orthodox) men who choose to complete their military service in an environment that is predominantly among their peers.
Yosef served as Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel, also known by the honorific Rishon LeZion (The first to Zion), from 2013 until June 2024. He is the sixth son of Ovadia Yosef, the founding spiritual leader of the Shas political party, who was born in Baghdad and also served as Sephardic chief rabbi from 1973 to 1983.
Yitzhak Yosef succeeded his father as spiritual leader of Shas upon his father's death in 2013.
Additionally, he was succeeded as Sephardic chief rabbi by his younger brother, David Yosef, who currently holds the role.
The army began summoning all 54,000 remaining eligible haredim for IDF service on Sunday, launching the largest-ever coordinated mass recruitment effort in that sector, a campaign that will continue through July.
Police open investigation into journalist who expressed joy at death of IDF soldiers
A journalist is being investigated by Israel Police for expressing joy over the death of the five IDF soldiers in Beit Hanun, police confirmed on Tuesday.
Haredi left-wing journalist, Israel Frey, wrote, "The world is a better place this morning, without five young men who participated in one of the most brutal crimes against humanity," during a post on X on Tuesday morning.
"Only in Israel can you both 'oppose' the war and 'be shocked' by what we are doing in Gaza, and also, in the same breath, send heartfelt condolences to those who actually carried out the atrocities. It's very simple: your leniency toward the criminals is indifference toward the crime. And the condolences are the legitimization and fuel for the continuation of the atrocities. Choose a side," Frey added in a second post.
