'Bird flu outbreak is God's punishment'
March 22 2006 at 03:08PM
Jerusalem - An outbreak of deadly bird flu in Israel is God's punishment for calls made in election campaign advertisements for gay marriages to be legalised, says David Basri, a prominent sage preaching the Kabbalah or Jewish mysticism.
"The Bible says God punishes depravity first through plagues against animals and then in people," the rabbi said in a religious edict quoted by his son.
Basri hoped the deaths of hundreds of thousands of turkeys and chickens would help atone for what he called the sins of left-wing Israeli political parties, his rabbi son, Yitzhak Basri, said.
The bird flu outbreak stemmed from far-left political parties "strengthening and encouraging homosexuality", the sage was quoted as saying.
