[In this video] Rabbi Yosef Mizrahi says non-Orthodox Jews are supposed to suffer, Orthodox women who were murdered in the Holocaust honored God while non-Orthodox women murdered in the Holocaust did not, and claims that the Holocaust was "five years of punishment to many wicked people that Hashem [God] give [sic]." He also extols Yemen because its inhabitants, including the Jews, are "primitive" and claims no Yemenite Jew ever broke Shabbat until Yemenite Jews fled Yemen for modern Israel.

So, let's get this straight: the murder of the non-Orthodox women in the Holocaust was because they were wicked. And the murder of the Orthodox ones? What did they do wrong? Oh, and if Yemenite Jews were so good that none ever broke Shabbat, then, according to your lights, they wouldn't suffer, right? So why did they have to flee?
Perhaps you could start a roadshow with Israel Shamir and Gilad Atzmon.
@Hasan PrichtinaAnd the murder of the Orthodox ones? What did they do wrong?
He seems to "think" *, like this fuckwit of fschmidt , because they dodn't keep their non-frum brethren from becoming liberals.
*He also declared, in the same speech, "people with autism, Downs Syndrome and cancer have these disorders in order to cleanse their souls of sins committed in previous lifetimes".
EDIT:
Really, though, this is little different from fundamental Christians claiming that Catholics aren't real Christians. Nothing like religion to divide people, even those with very similar beliefs.
Of course, it's also similar to far-right Republicans claiming that other Republicans aren't conservative enough. Politics and religion are so similar, and often intertwined.
A Jewish Holocaust sympathizer? I thought I seen everything.
The Holocaust was such an evil act involving more than just the Jewish people. Anyone with a sense of empathy would know it was horrible atrocities against other humans. This "rabbi" needs to be stripped of his title.
the Holocaust was "five years of punishment to many wicked people that Hashem [God] give [sic]."
Wow, a Rabbi claiming the Nazis were carrying out God's will. That's interesting, to say the least.
Considering our trusty office assistance turned in their resignation forms after seeing this, I have to say something. Besides the fact that you made Jeff Strenus and Thomas Jarkeva quit their jobs.
You are absolutely insensitive. The fact that you have no basic respect for the humans around you, simply because they are not "Orthodox", says a lot about you.

I have no more to say to someone like you Mr. Mizrahi. You deserve to lose your title of 'teacher'. It's too bad Judaism doesn't have excommunication, sometimes I think it needs it .
Well, Judaism has [i]herem[/i] (just ast Spinoza and Trotsky) but you have now to really ask for it.
Supremacists of all stripes are invariably idiots, but this one seems to be a particularly vile one. A jew who thinks the Holocaust was just hunky-dory because it happened mostly to non-orthodox jews?
Headdesk! Apply directly to forehead!
Actually, it is less silly than it sounds, since it is entirely consistent with the explanation given in the Old Testament for the exile in Babylon and the destruction of the North Kingdom. His god is still an evil bastard, but at least he's a consistent evil bastard.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
