And no mainstream media react angrily to this! Imagine the world reaction if a French leader said suddenly that non-Christians should not live in France\u2026 but as it\u2019s an Israeli rabbi\u2026 no reaction!<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef has faced a public backlash after saying that according to Jewish law some non-Jews should be forbidden to live in Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to Jewish law, it\u2019s forbidden for a non-Jew to live in the Land of Israel \u2013 unless he has accepted the seven Noahide laws,\u201d\u00a0Rabbi Yosef said during his weekly Saturday lecture on March 26.<\/p>\n

Non-Jews who fail to live by the seven Noahide laws should be expelled to Saudi Arabia, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he\u2019s not willing to accept one of them, [which is] not to commit suicide, if he\u2019s not willing to accept this, you send him to Saudi Arabia,\u201d\u00a0Yosef said.<\/p>\n

The seven Laws of Noah include prohibitions against idolatry, blaspheming God, murder, illicit sexual relations, stealing and eating a limb of a live animal. It also prescribes the establishment of a legal system that would ensure obedience to the law.<\/p>\n

If a non-Jew stays in Israel, he has to serve the Jews, the Rabbi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho will be the servers? Who will be our assistants? Therefore, we leave them here in the land,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n

However, following a wave public outrage,\u00a0Yosef had to backtrack on his comments. He explained that his words had nothing to do with today\u2019s world as he had been referring to the\u00a0\u201cdays of the messiah.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese laws are theoretical, [and] refer to fulfilling the seven Noahide Laws in the days of the messiah, and have no connection to the present day,\u201d\u00a0he wrote, adding that he has\u00a0\u201calways adopted a peaceful and embracing path.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s clear that there\u2019s no law in our time, God forbid, to expel non-Jews from Israel,\u201d\u00a0he concluded.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time Chief Rabbi Yosef has found himself in hot water over his comments. Earlier this month he said that Israelis should not be afraid to kill terrorists armed with knives.<\/p>\n
