Summarized from Israel National News by baba

English · 1 newsroom

The Center for Victims of Racism filed a criminal complaint against Rabbi Gedalia Axelrod for allegedly inciting violence and racism with a religious ruling. Rabbi Axelrod ruled that politicians supporting a government with Arab members are subject to "din rodef," a concept that could permit harm. The complaint argues this incites violence and racism, especially given the political context and the number of Arab representatives in the Knesset. Authorities are urged to investigate and remove the statement from digital platforms.
