Israeli court sentences dog to death by stoning, children to deliver punishment

Link.

This seems insane to me. A Jewish court is convinced a dog is "the reincarnation of a secular lawyer who insulted the court's judges 20 years ago" because it made its way in to the court and they couldn't get it to leave. The court then sentenced the dog to death by stoning and ordered local childeren to carry out the punishment.

The dog ended up escaping, but that leads me to one question -- has the Israeli court system lost their minds?

There is so much wrong with the rational of the entire episode it completely boggles the mind.

1) They would sentence a lawyer to death simply because he insulted the court.

2) They believe the dog holds the spirit of this lawyer.

3) They would have local children kill this dog/lawyer.

4) Israel allows courts like this to exist.

Mind = blown.

Wow... just wow.

Oh Israel, you wacky, wacky folks.

I couldn't stop laughing wth. I don't understand rational thought is going down the drain.

I....what?

Oh Israel, you wacky, wacky folks.

What is wrong with those backwards people and their hateful society? Teaching children to kill small animals? That's neurotic! How can we even begin to tolerate people like that? Just more proof of how innately flawed Musl...Oh, wait.

wat do u excpect its isreal. they've been doing this stuff for years

Its just a dog,they stink anyway Bucked20

I'm hard-pressed not to agree with this sentiment.

I've had to endure stress-inducing noise almost relentlessly since a dog with a high-pitched bark moved into an apartment unit near mine.

Right now, I'm sorely tempted to pay some kids in the apartment complex to stone the thing to death for me.

Anybody who thinks I'm just being psychotic has obviously never known what it's like to be subjected to ceaseless noise from another person's dog. Hell, I've seen entire neighborhoods that were once upmarket suburban communities literally transformed into huge open-air kennels by dogs and their imbecile owners. As far as I'm concerned, "man's best friend" has become a pestilential scourge.

For once, I actually find myself saying: Go Israel!

:evil:

that is pretty carzy some people are just crazy this thread made me laugh crazy:lol:

Just call the police and make a noise complaint or complain to the apartment management.

I'm glad the dog got away.

Now he's going to sue. :P

Surely there's a higher authority that can step in here... not only that, but the Israeli public are bound to object to this. :|michaelP4

"It was ordered... as an appropriate way to 'get back at' the spirit which entered the poor dog," the paper reported the manager as saying, according to Ynet.

Oh Israel, you so crazy!!! :P

If thats how they deal with a dog in a court, then it even sacres me more on how they deal with an Arab in an Israeli court ...

Oh Israel, you so crazy!!! :P

Even though I've actually been modded several times for making less-than-diplomatic remarks about Israel's occupation of the West Bank, I actually find myself compelled ***gasp*** to speak up in Israel's defense here!

Regarding this incident as representative of all Israel would be a bit like regarding the Westboro Baptist Church as representative of all America.

The clerk of the court has the records though, and the records say the rabbi is not telling the truth.

Religious extremists.. Making a mockery of the human race one action at a time.sSubZerOo

Is there even a concept of reincarnation in Judaism?

Haha, this place is funny. I see people in this thread trying to act "genuinely concerned" for the dog but are silent about human deaths to suit their agenda. Basically it is a few who don't condemn (although they don't justify either to be fair) but are now concerned and rush to either generally post or criticize Israel when an event happened that the government or 99.9% of Israeli's had no part of. What is the difference between this stupidity and stupidity from Israel's neighbours? The courts neither sanctioned or justisfied this barbaric act nor sanctions or justifies the needless deaths of ANY of her people. Go on, name me a country in the the Middle East that is half as tolerant as Israel. Name one other country in the Middle East that hasn't executed a person in their history (apart from Eichmann, although he isn't a "person" to be fair)? I bet you can't. The same people who try to justify their continue to be obsessed about events in Israel such as this are the same people who ignore the 1,000s of deaths in Syria. If you guys are so compassionate about animals why have I not seen topics in regards to the dozens of HUMAN deaths in Syria in every day? It's pure hypocrisy.

Furthermore, NO ONE (outside of a minority of the ultra-orthodox) justifies the stoning of even a dog. The vast majority of the people of Israel are, unlike the rest of the Middle East, in the 21st century. Hell, the ultra-orthodox are backwards people who are mostly hated in Israel. They are lousy, de-generate wastes of space who haven't worked a day of their life and instead devote their entire life to reading a book. They are also exempt from compulsory military service and have a unique advantage in comparsion with other Israeli's. Sadly they are growing at a massive rate and it doesn't look as if they are going to change their ways.

Tell me OT, was you're reaction the same to Egypt when an Egyptian threw a dog off a roof?

That depends, was this some random guy which your making it sound like.. And not a judicial court case whcih led to this ridiculous sentence?? And where are people comparing Israel to other countries in this thread? The general consensus is "thats ridiculous".. To me your response is a pretty typical knee jerk reaction..

...and Israel is a nuclear state.MushroomWig

One not under the nuclear proliferation act as well.. Though this hardly matters any more with countries like the United States handing nuclear power over to India for the hell of it with no real say from the UN..

It wasn't a court case, and even if it was- the Law grants Sharia, cannon and Halakaic courts with very specific authorities. If this happened- it's not only a breach of administartive authority, it's a criminal offense.

The problem is- it's not sure what happened. the Rabbi himself denied the accusations and threatened to file defamation suits against Nrg.co.il and Ynet.co.il- which led to the removal of the online stories.

This is all very strange and Yahoo would do well to stop copy pasting from Ynet, and if not- at least it would do well to take the story down in accordance with Ynet.

I'm hoping one day the middle east will become a glass crater one day and the whole continent of africa will sink to the bottom of the ocean. If i had that wish Id do it without hesistation

Perhapes, I honestly woudl consider this story amusing if anything else.. I am critical towards Israel for multiple reasons, but this isn't one of them because the government is not governed like this to begin with..
