 Israeli Jewish Edict Urges Apartheid Government to Kill All Palestinian Prisoners if POW Shalit Not Returned


Jewish edict: Kill all Palestinian prisoners if Shalit not returned

[ 12/12/2009 - 08:01 AM ]

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)--

The council of Jewish rabbis called the "Sanhedrin" has issued an edict allowing the killing of all Palestinian prisoners if the Israeli captured soldier Gilad Shalit was not returned safe.

Hebrew daily Yediot Ahronot quoted a statement by the Sanhedrin on Friday as saying that releasing Shalit in return for the release of "criminals" as what happened in past exchange deals is considered "capitulation".

(The term "criminals" in the statement refers to Palestinian political activists and innocent Palestinians kidnapped from their homes by Israeli occupation forces).

The council called for pursuing other means to liberate (the Israeli prisoner of war who was captured by Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza) Shalit including targeting "killers in our jails", referring to the Palestinian prisoners.

It called for a large-scale war on Gaza with the declared aim of eliminating Hamas once and for all.

The council urged the Israeli occupation government to encourage illegal Israeli settlers to boost their presence in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and along the Jordan River.
