Ultra-Orthodox Party Is Kingmaker In Israeli Election



The Holocaust Was God's Retribution Against The Reincarnated Souls Of Jewish Sinners, says Ultra Orthodox Former Chief Rabbi
Yosef.


In one speech, Yosef said the Old City of Jerusalem, home to shrines sacred to Judaism, Islam and Christianity, was "swarming" with Arabs "like ants."


"They should go to hell — and the Messiah shall speed them on their way," he said.


On another occasion, Yosef castigated then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Gaza pullout, then implored: "May God strike him down."


Ultra-Orthodox Party Is Kingmaker in Israeli Election

JERUSALEM — An ultra-Orthodox Jewish party run by an octogenarian rabbi who has said Hurricane Katrina was divine punishment emerged Thursday as the kingmaker in forming the next Israeli government.


Having won a fight to be leader of the ruling Kadima Party, Tzipi Livni now will likely need Shas as a partner to become prime minister. But Shas opposes any compromise on Jerusalem, and including it in a coalition could tie her hands in peace talks with the Palestinians.
