Rabinical Racism
Rabbi: Don't hire, rent homes to Arabs
By Matthew Wagner, Jerusalem Post
Hebron and Kiryat Arba Chief Rabbi Dov Lior plans to issue a halachic ruling forbidding Israeli Jews from rent apartments to Israeli Arabs or Palestinians or to employ them.
In an interview with "Eretz Israel Shelanu" (Our Land of Israel), a pamphlet distributed in synagogues before Shabbat, Lior was quoted as saying it was "mortally dangerous" to do so, as proved by the terror attack at the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva. It was thus forbidden to hire Arab workers not only in yeshivot "but also in factories, hotels or anywhere," he said.
Lior could not be immediately reached. However, a spokesman said this had been Lior's position for some time.
Other leading religious Zionist rabbis, such as Rabbi Eliezer Melamed of Har Bracha and Rabbi Elyakim Levanon of Eilon Moreh, have also called to ban all Arab labor
Lior is considered by many to be a leading scholar of the Religious Zionist camp and the prime student of the late Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook, son of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook. In the late 1980s the Attorney General barred Lior’s election to the Supreme Rabbinical Council following a public outcry over statements he made suggesting that captured Arab terrorists could be used to conduct medical experiments.

He has, with other rabbis, issued a precedent setting halakhic ruling that Israel must shoot civilian populations in areas from whence attacks on Jewish communities originate, and another halakhic ruling which states that it is forbidden by Jewish law to employ or rent homes to Arabs.[2]
