Mystical sage, son to be probed for suspected racist incitement<
snip>
"The state prosecutor on Tuesday ordered police to open a criminal investigation into Rabbi David Batzri, a prominent sage preaching Jewish mysticism, who is suspected of racist incitement.
Police will also investigate Batzri's son, Rabbi Yitzhak Batzri.
The prosecution's order came in the wake of comments made by the suspects during a conference held some two months ago in Jerusalem's Pat neighborhood.
According to suspicions, the Batzris allegedly made the racist comments at the conference which was held to rally support against the establishment of a bilingual school for Jewish and Arab students in the heart of the Pat neighborhood.
Rabbi David Batzri said, "the establishment of such a school is a despicable and sinful act. An Arab cannot contaminate what is pure. It is forbidden to blend darkness and light. The nation of Israel is pure and the Arabs are a nation of donkeys. They are an evil disaster, an evil devil, and a nasty affliction."
Rabbi Yitzhak Batzri said, "The Arabs are donkeys and beasts. They want to take our girls. They are endowed with true filthiness. There is pure and there is impure and they are impure."
