NEW YORK - (January 4, 2005) According to Rabbi Mordechai Yitzchok Friedman, president of the American Board of Rabbis, “Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon made life miserable for 10,000 Jewish children, women and men; many are now homeless, making them Judenrein from Gush Katif and four towns in liberated Samaria.  This adds to the misery of 715,000 Jewish children in Israel who go hungry to bed, over 1,500,000 are below the poverty level.  The many causalities of Jewish babys, infants, children, women and men by Arab Muslim predator terrorists, should have been averted had Sharon taken Jewish direct action, yet Sharon, had refused to once and for all  eradicate them." 

 

 Rabbi Friedman continues, “Sharon is a secular blasphemer and traitor. He has given up Almighty given Land of the Jewish people too murderers and brought utter misery to over ten thousand Israeli citizens, plus endangering the entire Jewish State.”

 

 Last year, the American Board of Rabbis put a curse on all who collaborated with anti-Semites, whether Arab Muslim terrorists or any anti-Semites, for giving up Jewish Holy Land.  Rabbi Friedman had also cursed Steven Spielberg, director of the film Munich, as the Talmud (the basis of Jewish law) empowers Rabbis to curse, as it states in the Talmudic Tractate of Makos 11; a "The curse of a Rabbi, even if it is unwarranted, it shall come into fruition."  “Any individual, group, organization that advocates for Arab terrorism or giving up Jewish Holy Land falls under this general curse,” stated Rabbi Friedman.
