A Racist, Messianic Rabbi Is the Ruler of Israel
Rabbi of Kiryat Arba municipality, Dov Lior, returned from questioning on charges of incitement after publishing his approval of a book discussing when it is acceptable to kill non-Jews under Halacha, to his well-paid position and teaching at Nir hesder yeshiva. Without dramatic change in these matters, Israel will make all of its laws illegal.

Nor does Lior stop at non-Jews. Leading rabbis have testified that Lior was the source of rulings labeling the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin a "rodef" and a "moser" (a traitor who endangers Jewish lives ). Here, too, he didn't stop at incitement. Rabin's assassin used to travel to Hebron to see the rabbi. Baruch Goldstein (who massacred Arabs at the Cave of the Patriarchs in 1994 ) also visited King Lior for instruction. After he massacred dozens of people, the rabbi ruled that Goldstein was "holier than all the martyrs of the Holocaust."

I'm sorry. I thought, the topic was conspiracy-theories about Israel in general. (Because "penis".)

From what I understand, it's an unsubstantiated claim made by one person - not BTS officially.

So you don't have a problem with Yehuda Shaul's medieval jew hating libel, right?

Whether some accusations are "centuries old antisemitic Jew hating libels" depends on the context.

BTS didn't make the allegation at all. Shira posted an OP the other day that said so...
