"If we don't want [them] to destroy Sderot we must destroy the Palestinian town of Beit Hanoun", Safed's Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu ruled Wednesday following the ongoing Qassam rocket fire targeting the southern Israeli town. "We don't have to kill the people living there, but we must definitely destroy Beit Hanoun," he added... According to Rabbi Eliyahu, If Israel fails to deal with the problem, it will spread like a malignant disease." -- Ynet News

"In an article recently published in the 'Our Land of Israel' pamphlet, Eliyahu wrote that the State of Israel has forgotten the meaning of deterrence. "Revenge, revenge, revenge, we must not forget, we must execute terrible vengeance for the terror attack at Mercaz Harav yeshiva... I'm talking about the state, it must cause them pain until they cry out for it to stop... I can already hear all those bleeding hearts... calling me a barbarian, immoral, an inciting rabbi... pay no attention to them, if it were up to them, Israel would cease to exist in 30 years." -- Ynet News

"Even when we seek revenge, it is important to make one thing clear -- the life of one yeshiva boy is worth more than the lives of 1,000 Arabs." -- Ynet News
