An Israeli rabbi urged the killing of women and children in the Gaza Strip
and said he considered it a response to the teachings of halakha, or Jewish
law.

Rabbi Eliyahu Mali made the remarks in front of his students and the video
widely circulated on social media.

“In our mitzvah (holy) war, in our situation in Gaza, according to what the
law says, ‘Not every soul shall live,’ and the logic of this is very clear:
if you do not kill them, they will kill you,” said Mali.

He claimed that those described as “vandals” in today’s war are “the
children of the previous war whom we kept alive, and in reality, it is the
women who produce terrorists.”

“This means that this rule (do not keep alive every soul) is very clear in
its concept, either you or them,” he said. “Whoever comes to kill you, kill
him first.”

“Whoever comes to kill you with this concept does not only include the
young man aged 16, 18, 20, or 30 who is now pointing a weapon at you, but
also the future generation (the children of Gaza), and those who produce
the future generation (women of Gaza), because there is really no
difference”.

Mali heads the Shirat Moshe religious school in Jaffa, in central Israel,
where students serve in the army.

Calls to kill and ethnically cleanse Palestinians have not been limited to
religious extremists but have been spread by top Israeli officials,
ministers, and Israeli soldiers.
*Genocide Continues*

Currently on trial before the International Court of Justice for genocide
against Palestinians, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza
since October 7.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 30,960 Palestinians have been
killed, and 72,524 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on
October 7.

Moreover, at least 7,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under
the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those
killed and wounded are women and children.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of
nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast
majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of
Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest
mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.

Israel says that 1,200 soldiers and civilians were killed during the
Al-Aqsa Flood Operation on October 7. Israeli media published reports
suggesting that many Israelis were killed on that day by ‘friendly fire.’
