Dov Lior, the chief rabbi of Kiryat Arba and Hebron, head of the rabbinical committee in the territories and a power broker in the halls of government, is this country's real prime minister, writer Sefi Rachlevsky said in an op-ed in Haaretz's Hebrew edition last week.

Some of Lior's doctrines, which made headlines in the wake of his refusal to be interrogated by police in an incitement case, were revealed in Rachlevsky's piece: permission to spill Arab blood, praise for the murderer Baruch Goldstein and spiritual support for extreme right-wing Jewish terrorists. In addition, Lior is suspected of involvement in the rabbinical condemnation of Yitzhak Rabin before the prime minister was assassinated in 1995. (...)

The rabbi sometimes seems open to non-Jewish music and willing to have Jews engage with it, but at other times talks about banning it. "Until 400 years ago there were composers among non-Jews, but they all focused on church music and pagan music," is his simplistic approach. "But since a rebellion occurred, they started creating humane music that expresses positive sentiments. There are some honorable people among the goyim. A few, but they exist. I think that even in Hebron there are a few who are human beings - which doesn't mean I'm saying they shouldn't all be sent to Saudi Arabia. They should all be sent to Saudi Arabia!"

Tra i segni piu' turpi del trionfo del colpo di stato razzista nel nostro paese vi e' anche il pervasivo, contaminante infiltrarsi del razzismo - e particolarmente dell'antisemitismo - nella koine' della stessa area che pretende di proclamarsi democratica, progressista e finanche pacifista.

Anche in essa mostruosamente sempre piu' si accetta la retorica antisemita, il linguaggio hitleriano, e l'ideologia totalitaria e assassina da essi veicolata; fin nei movimenti di solidarieta' internazionale, per i diritti e la liberazione dei popoli.

Taluni, anzi molti, pensando di contribuire alla causa del popolo palestinese si lasciano infliltrare ed infeudare, alienare e asservire dal linguaggio, dalla propaganda, dall'ideologia nazista.

Cosi' non si aiuta il popolo palestinese, e si diviene eredi e complici degli esecutori e dei favoreggiatori della Shoah.

Nessuno dimentichi che il ventre della bestia nazista, come scriveva Brecht, e' ancora fecondo.
