jacee Posted July 12, 2016 Report Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Eeew! Good grief! Oh wait ... http://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-taps-chief-rabbi-who-once-seemed-to-permit-wartime-rape/ When the quote surfaced in 2012 and caused a media firestorm, he published a clarification stating that his comments were in no way meant to be applied in the modern era, but rather pertained to a theoretical discussion of the biblical permission for a Jewish soldier to kidnap an enemy woman and wed her. Obviously, in our times, when the world has advanced to a level of morality in which one does not marry captives, one must not perform this act, which is also entirely against the armys values and orders, he wrote. The IDF on Monday responded to allegations against Karim, saying the colonel wishes to clarify that his words were only uttered in response to a theoretical hermeneutical question, certainly not to a practical halachic question. Ah ... he was speaking historically about rape ... but apparently still thinks women shouldn't serve in the armed services. I think we can let Israeli women respond to that! ? .

Charles Anthony Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 Folks, This thread is locked because it has devolved into a mess of inflammatory nonsense and personal attacks that only degrades the forum. If any of you want to continue discussing this topic in a civilized manner, feel free to start a Part 2 thread. Another classic example of anti semitic drivel.Agreed. We do not have time for a meeting of the flat earth society. << Où sont mes amis ? Ils sont ici, ils sont ici... >>
