Tel Aviv, (IINA) - A religious Zionist cleric from a Jewish settlement on the West Bank Said on Saturday that the attacks in Paris were deserved due to what Europeans "did to our people 70 years ago", The Jerusalem Post reported.
According to the newspaper, the quote from Dov Lior, the Chief Rabbi (teacher of Torah) of the Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba, was first reported by the "Walla! news agency".
"The wicked ones in blood-soaked Europe deserve it for what they did to our people 70 years ago", Lior said referring to the Holocaust, which was committed by Adolf Hitler's regime.
Lior also once wrote an approbation for a book called "The King’s Torah", which was co-written in 2009 by settler figure Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira, and it permitted killing civilian non-Jews in times of war.
He was summoned by police for questioning on grounds of incitement to violence but refused to report for questioning, saying that the Torah was not open to police investigation. He was subsequently arrested and brought for questioning, but no charges against him were made.
