Soldier: Israeli Rabbis Turned Gaza Invasion into Religious War
---------------------------------------------------------------



The Mc Clatchy News Service reports rabbis affiliated with the Israeli
army urged troops heading into Gaza to reclaim what they said was
God-given land and to ‘’get rid of the gentiles.’’ This according to the
testimony of a soldier who fought in Gaza. The soldier said the message
from the rabbis effectively turned the twenty-two-day Israeli attack
into a religious war.
