If true, apalling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I doubt however that it would actually happen. Israel is a fairly secular state despite the loonies on the Zionist right.
I'll pray for the death of the Rabbis tho'.

They have asked for kids to do this.........so possibly innocent canines will be targeted......
Whether innocent or not ......

If this sick little episode was in "The Life of Brian" it would probably be regarded as a classic indictment on the modern interpretation of ancient religious law. It certainly reads as farcically as a Monty Python sketch ever could!

That's got to be worth an extra few billions in funding from American taxpayers.

Sometimes it's just plain embarrassing to be a member of the human species.

First time I glanced at the article I thought, "Hey, rabbits want to stone a dog!"

Now, maybe I watch too many cartoons, but that sort of made sense.

But humans? Sheesh...

It's moments like this I wish I was back on my home planet.

This story is making headlines across the world.

It may be 2011, but this just goes to show people will believe anything.

Quote:
No stray dog was condemned to death, or stoned by a rabbinical court in Jerusalem, the Beth Din have insisted.

Israeli’s newspaper Maariv reported that a stray dog has wandered into a Beth Din financial court in the strictly Orthodox area of Mea Shearim and refused to be moved, which a judge decreed was a reincarnation of a secular lawyer who died 20 years ago.

Reports said the judges then "decreed" that local children stone the dog to death. But the secretariat of the court released a statement calling the reports “bitter humour” and said all that had happened was that the city dog catcher had been called to remove the stray.

The story made headlines around the world, and was the “Most Read” story on the BBC – despite a correction and apology being printed in Maariv.

That is good news, however I'm sure this has happened before and just never made it to any headlines!
