I seriously doubt 100% of chaplains wouldn't say that. That's like saying 100% of priests wouldn't fuck an alter boy.

You're cherry picking one Rabbi who said something stupid at some point in the past.


This is a common quote among Jew-haters. I remember hearing it from a young BNP member when discussing Jews in a documentary about 10 years ago.

The reality is that when there's smoke, a Muslim probably just bombed a bunch of people.

Israeli Military Chief Stands by Choice of Top Rabbi Who Implied Rape Is Permitted in Wartime
IDF says new top rabbi's remarks don't represent army's values. Karim has said, among other things, that wounded terrorists should be killed, that gay people are sick and that women are sentimental.

A Misogynist, Homophobic, Racist Chief Military Rabbi Is Probably Best Israel Can Do
There is a small handful of rabbis with the required expertise and experience for the job. Eyal Karim is probably the most senior of them. Which is why he was chosen.

Rabbi Colonel Eyal Karim, a former special forces commander who once landed in hot water over a “mistinterpreted” statement implying that Israeli soldiers could commit rape in wartime “for the sake of joint success,” is set to become IDF’s new chief rabbi.
Answering a question from one reader who asked whether IDF soldiers were permitted “to rape girls during a fight, or is such a thing forbidden?” according to +972 web magazine, Rabbi Karim responded, “Since, essentially, a war is not an individual matter, but rather nations wage war as a whole, there are cases in which the personality of the individual is ‘erased’ for the benefit of the whole. And vice versa: sometimes you risk a large unit for the saving of an individual, when it is essential for purposes of morale. One of the important and critical values during war is maintaining the army’s fighting ability […]

War removes some of the prohibitions on sexual relations, and even though fraternizing with a gentile woman is a very serious matter, it was permitted during wartime (under the specific terms) out of understanding for the hardship endured by the warriors. And since the success of the whole at war is our goal, the Torah permitted the individual to satisfy the evil urge, under the conditions mentioned, for the purpose of the success of the whole,” he added.

When religious conservatives try to rationalize ancient texts that express outdated morals, things can go bad quickly. The latest controversy involves the newly appointed chief rabbi of the Israel Defense Forces, who got himself in trouble with comments that seemed to condone raping non-Jewish women in wartime.

A close analysis of his comments and their background in classical Jewish law suggests the critics may be right, notwithstanding the rabbi’s later efforts to offer more context.
