Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef insulted blacks
The Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel called black people “monkeys” during his weekly sermon on Saturday evening.This is the latest offensive speech he's given, after calling secular women "animals" and insulting non-Jews as well. He's even drawn backlash from the ADL, unreliable movement they are, and the last thing any sensible person needs is for men like Yosef to make statements that anti-semites and such will exploit to undermine Israel. It's about time for Yosef to be removed from office, because he doesn't belong in the role, and is only demonstrating how poor his ultra-Orthodox education clearly was.
Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef was addressing Jewish legal aspects of the blessing on seeing fruit trees blossoming, during the current Hebrew month of Nissan, and, specifically, whether one should bless one tree or at least two.
In that context, he mentioned a blessing uttered upon seeing an “unusual creature,” citing the example of encountering a black person who has two white parents on the street in America.
In footage aired by the Ynet news site, Yosef could be seen referring to black people by the word “kushi,” which in modern Hebrew has pejorative connotations, and then going on to term a black person a “monkey.”
