Ovadia Yosef

"A Druze soldier who stood guard to protect Israel against vengeful enemies, and was killed by Ishmaelites - it is proper to say a hashkava [prayer] in synagogue for the benefit of his soul... The Druze believe in one God and are not idolaters at all, and also believe in the persistence of the soul [after death], and all the more so they enlist in the IDF and sacrifice themselves to protect the inhabitants of the State of Israel, and they keep the Seven Mitzvot of the Children of Noah, and their status is as Righteous of the Nations of the World."

"היה צונאמי ויש אסונות טבע נוראיים. כל זה ממיעוט התורה. איפה שיש תורה זה מקיים את העולם. שמה [בניו אורלינס] יש שם כושים. כושים ילמדו תורה? יאללה נביא להם צונאמי, נטביע אותם. מאות אלפים נשארו בלי קורת גג. עשרות אלפים הרוגים. כל זה כי אין להם הקדוש ברוך הוא.‏ There was a tsunami and there are terrible natural disasters, all of this because of too little Torah study. Where there is Torah it sustains the world. There are negros there [in New Orleans]. Negros will study Torah? Lets bring them a tsunami, drown them. Hundreds of thousands were left without a shelter. Tens of thousands died. All of this is because they have no God."

"It is easy for a rabbi to establish prohibitions, but a rabbis real strength is to teach Torah and rule on law with an emphasis on what is permitted."

"It is forbidden to be merciful to them. You must send missiles to them and annihilate them. They are evil and damnable. […] The Lord shall return the Arabs deeds on their own heads, waste their seed and exterminate them, devastate them and vanish them from this world."

"Saving a life overrides territories."

"Why are Gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat. That is why Gentiles were created."

"“Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world – only to serve the People of Israel,”."

"They dont observe the Sabbath, they dont observe the Torah, they dont pray, they dont put on phylacteries every day. Is it any wonder that theyre killed? Its no wonder. May the Almighty have mercy on them and bring them back to religion."

"The most significant halachic authority of the last 100 years, whose positions helped fashion a balanced and moderate Judaism."
