Army rabbi exhorted Gods army before they massacred
Palestinians in Shujaiya
By Ben White (Electronic Intifada)
Prominent settler and former Israeli army chief rabbi Avichai Rontzki delivered a messianic, fiery speech to Israeli forces prior to the
devastating massacre of the Gaza City neighborhood of Shujaiya, it was revealed today.
An account of the speech appears in a new piece by Nahum Barnea, a prominent journalist at Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, and is
based on remarks made by a soldier present at the time.
The soldier related that before their invasion of Shujaiya, troops were gathered to listen to the words of Rontzki, who praised the miracle
of Gods army. According to an article last week in Kipa, a religious-Zionist oriented news site, Rontzki has been performing reserve duty
and encouraging the combatants on the ground.
The Electronic Intifada has already reported on the phenomenon of groups of J ewish mystics offering support to the Israeli forces currently

shelling Gaza, as well as the Israeli army commander who declared holy war on Palestinians.
Damned
The anonymous soldier in Barneas article also recounts a similar event prior to the Shujaiya massacre:
Israels ground assault on the Gaza Strip began late on Thursday 17 J uly, with tanks receiving orders to open fire at anything that moved.
Over the next few days, the Shujaiya district of Gaza City was subjected to intense and indiscriminate bombardment, including 600 shells
fired by an artillery battalion and 100 one-ton bombs dropped from the air.
Rontzkis speech to Israeli soldiers recalls his time as Israeli army chief rabbi, when, in 2009, he told religious students that troops who
show mercy towards the enemy in wartime will be damned. During Israels so-called Operation Cast Lead massacre in 2008-09, the
army rabbinate under his leadership distributed inflammatory publications that referred to the massacre as a war on murderers.
Rontzki was one of the founding members of Itamar, a fanatical Israeli settlement colony near Nablus, where has also led a yeshiva, or
religious seminary.

We got close to Kibbutz Nahal Oz and then they gathered us together. You know how it is in the army when told to gather, you
gather. Waiting for us was a bunch of Breslev Hasidic Jews singing Messiah, Messiah, dancing and bouncing around. We
formed a circle around them, and a bunch of fighters danced with them in ecstasy

Really have enjoyed J avier Bardem's work since "No Country For Old Men." He also made an important documentary on
the plight of the Sahrawi in Western Sahara, "Sons of the Clouds," http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... . The Sahrawi people
have suffered serious injustices that need to be rectified and unfortunately many in the Muslim/broader world are unaware of
what they have suffered for decades.
