A conference which took place yesterday against the establishment of a
mixed Arab-Jewish school in Pat, Jerusalem saw harsh attacks made by
well-known rabbis.

The (ha-mekubal) Rabbi David Bazri said: "The establishment of such a
school is a foul, disgraceful deed. You can't mix pure and foul. They
are a disease, a disaster, a devil. The Arabs are asses, and the
question must be asked, why did God did not create them walking on
their fours? The answer is that they need to build and wash. They have
no place in our school".

His son, Rabbi Itzhak Bazri, also referred to the interpretation of
Ishmaelites - people similar to donkeys, and said "the Arabs are
inferior. What do they want? To take our daughters. They say we are
racists. Well, they are the evil, they are the cruel, they have the
foulness of snakes. There's foul and there's pure, and they are foul".

In response to questions by "Walla!", Rabbi Bazri said that he meant to
"emphasize the difference between Arab and Jewish culture, and that
there is no common denominator that can bring us together. Bazri went
on to say that "our experience is to prevent situations in which our
Jewish girls be hurt by Arabs and to prevent danger to Jewish lives. We
intend to demonstrate in front of the City Hall and to do everything we
can to prevent this initiative".

Rabbi Yehuda Der'i, brother to Arie Deri and Chief Rabbi of Ber Sheva,
also participated in the conference and said that "this is a thing that
the Jewish mind, logic and soul cannot tolerate. We have to go from
house to house and raise supporters in the neighborhood to prevent this
horrid punishment."

Today the school is running in a temporary building and is looking for
a permanent residence in the Pat neighborhood of Jerusalem. The
municipality assigned a territory for the school but because of
repeating appeals to court the process is delayed. Today the matter is
scheduled for a debate in the High Court.
