Arab Muslims harass Jewish girls in Tzfat (Safed)
Some of you may recall that about a year and a half ago, there was a hue and cry over a ban issued by several rabbis against Jews renting and selling homes to Arabs in Tzfat (Safed).In case you're wondering what the fuss was about, Pam Geller has some updated details.
Too many obscenities for me to post on this site, and I cringe at the thought of the Jewish girls hearing those words.

ALL those who did not support Rav Eliahu's psaq and/or attacked him, should eat their hats and if they don't have one (MANY do) they should just hide their faces in shame before begging him for forgiveness.
Carl you bumpkin, your only source for this is Pamela Geller? and her only source is an anonymous blog, probably one she got one of her (or yours) kahanist buddies to write, or even fabricated herself.
You are worse than stupid.
If you believe a word she says, you have no testicles.
Hadar, you cannot call yourself a democracy on the one hand, and then act like it's Saudi Arabia or Iran.
Pamella Geller's piece is a lie.
Eliyahu was going to be dragged before a court for making up lies about Jewish girls being kidnapped because he didn't want any non Jews in Safed.
You're going to have to drop the charade of a democracy. Why do you not call yourself a theocracy?

On the rise of Jewish fundamentalism in Israel
By Shalom Boguslavsky
http://972mag.com/on-the-rise-of-jewish-fundamentalism-in-israel/6029/
Over the past decade or so, the religious Zionists and the ultra-Orthodox have joined forces to push for an Arab-free greater land of Israel. The racist ideas of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, once considered marginal, have gained new power as they are expressed by important ultra-Orthodox rabbis with wide authority in religious matters. With this authority comes a dangerous new fundamentalism that is gaining increasing political power in Israel.
---------------
Eliyahu’s ideas have three parallel
levels: “practical”, “mystical” and “national. At the practical level, he simply capitalizes on fear. The fear of terrorism, of the transformation of the town’s character, and most of all, the fear of romantic relationships between Jewish girls and Arab men.
Such relations aren’t common enough to feed the fear of assimilation. But for the locals, sexual harassment of girls by Arab youth is a real issue. I can’t say it does not happen. As young men coming from conservative, highly patriarchal society, currently not under the supervision of their community, many of them indeed do that a lot. But Eliyahu couldn’t care less about women’s safety and human dignity. He wouldn’t rally an assembly of rabbis to fight sexual harassment by men from his own community (and it’s common enough there as well). He doesn’t mind Jews doing it and his approach to women’s rights is pretty much medieval.
Nor is it merely the usual concept of women as the collective property of the men of the tribe, common to all racist groups in every time and place using the slogan “protect our women”. For him, the land of Israel itself is a woman that belongs, and as such must be conquered, to the Jewish men. In his mind, there is a deep spiritual link between controlling the women of the tribe and controlling the land of the tribe, the land that belongs to the tribe because God said so.
What he does in Safed, although meeting the everyday fears of his community, is actually just a teaser and a model of the thing he wants to happen in the entire greater land of Israel. Many other rabbis joined Eliyahu and did the same. Recently, 50 rabbis, most of them civil servants as well, issued a threat of excommunication for whoever rents an apartment to non Jews.
He does not mind the presence of Arabs in the holy land as such, but they must accept the supremacy of the “chosen people” and their exclusive ownership of the land. If they do that, they can live in their communities as they wish, as long they stay out of the way. Otherwise, they can move to an Arab country of their choice. It’s an exact parallel to the doctrine of Hamas and other Muslin fundamentalist groups. They see Palestine as waqf, a property dedicated to Allah. Infidels are allowed to live there, but only as dhimmi, a protected but underprivileged resident, a guest whose presence is tolerated, as long as he knows his place.
Prominent Israeli rabbi faces criminal probe over anti-Arab remarks
Shmuel Eliyahu was signatory to edict calling on Jews to refrain from selling or renting property to non-Jews; right-wing NGO: Indictment represents crime against the Jewish people.

In a 2004 interview, Eliyahu commented on posters distributed in Safed, which claimed that "Jewish girls were imprisoned by Arabs in the village of Akbara," saying that relations between Jewish women and Arab men were "another kind of war the Palestinians are waging against us, and we must know how to defend ourselves."
"There are Jewish girls, 15-25 years-old, seduced by young Arab men…. I also know that in many of the cases they were Arab men already married to Arab women, and those Jewish girls were taken as slaves of sort, without any possibility of escape," Eliyahu said.
Um not sure. Is this real? There is a deep spiritual link between controlling the women of the tribe and controlling the land of the tribe, the land that belongs to the tribe because God said so. And for your help I think this video goo.gl/BQH4G will really make you feel grateful!
