Israeli far-right Rabbi Eliyahu Mali: 'Kill everyone in Gaza!'

Israeli far-right Rabbi Eliyahu Mali, who works at a religious school, told his students serving in the military that "today's babies are tomorrow's warriors" in the Gaza Strip, and that everyone should be killed.

According to a report by the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, Rabbi Mali, speaking at a conference in Jaffa, called on his congregation serving in the Israeli army to "kill everyone in Gaza."

The Rabbi argued that this was in accordance with the Jewish faith, stating, "According to the laws, not a single soul should be left alive because this is a Mitzvah (a war to save Israel from its enemies and settle in occupied lands) war. If you do not kill them, they will kill you."

When asked about the babies in the Gaza Strip, Rabbi Mali said, "It is the same thing; a baby today is a warrior tomorrow. The terrorists of today are the children you allowed to live before. Those who create the terrorists are actually the women," encouraging Israeli soldiers to kill children and women in Gaza.

Merav Michaeli, leader of the opposition Labor Party in Israel, called for the Rabbi who made the call for massacre to be removed from his post in a message she shared on her social media account.

In the attacks that Israel has been carrying out on the Gaza Strip since October 7, at least 30,717 Palestinians have been killed, including at least 13,430 babies and children and 8,900 women.
