Jerusalem: Jewish rabbinical court

condemns a stray dog to death by stoning

A Jewish rabbinical court condemned to death by stoning a stray dog it feared was the reincarnation of a lawyer who insulted its judges. Thee dog entered the Jerusalem financial court several weeks ago and would not leave, reports Israeli website Ynet.

death by stoning

A curse passed on a now deceased secular lawyer about 20 years ago, when judges bid his spirit to enter the body of a dog.

The animal is said to have escaped before the sentence was carried out.

One of the judges at the court in the city’s ultra-Orthodox Mea Shearim neighbourhood had reportedly asked local children to carry out the sentence.

An animal welfare organisation filed a complaint with the police against a court official, who denied reports that judges had ordered the dog’s stoning. But a court manager told Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot the stoning had been ordered as “as an appropriate way to ‘get back at’ the spirit which entered the poor dog”, according to Ynet.

Dogs are considered impure animals in traditional Judaism as they are in Islam. But, never heard of an Islamic court sentencing a dog to death by stoning.

Shows you just how close the Muskims and Jews really are. The only thing that really separates them are the Prophet and their names for God. Other than that they are, as in the Bible story, half-brothers.

How does anyone who believes in God also believe in evil spirits? Here I thought that Judaism was at least a somewhat sane version of religion. Guess I was wrong about this sect.

With the Catholics it’s that “Holy Ghost” thing… 🙂 No idea what it is with the Jews.

What lunacy!! The Israelis are no more civilized than the Muslims. This is yet another instance of why I am so glad I’m an atheist. Religion kills all living things…..

Which begs the question–who in this world is more civilized? What a world.
