Most people will now be aware that Israel is a nation bereft of morals that revels in depravity due to its ongoing mass murder of Gazans and its ethnically cleaning of an entire country. What may not be so well known is that it is also a haven for paedophiles. This should come as a surprise to no one as, if they are not slaughtering kids, they are systematically raping them in prison. Not only that but Israeli society has plummeted to such depths of barbarism, that Israeli politicians and the public openly protest for the right of soldiers to rape Palestinian prisoners.
Violence, torture and sexual abuse is nothing new of course as the state of Israel was founded on such atrocities, so todays sickening abuse of children is in keeping with their tradition.
During the 1948 Nakba, 700,000 Arabs were forced off their land, their water supplies were poisoned, women and children were raped and thousands of citizens were murdered, including those that died in the Deir Yassin massacre, where the slaughter was being led by future Israeli Prime Ministers Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir.
Menachem Begin had also been involved in another terrorist atrocity, as leader of Irgun, the Jewish extremist terrorist organisation, that bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. The attack was aimed at the British government’s Palestinian offices in the hotel and killed 91 people including British, Arabas and Jews.
However, mass murder, ethnic cleansing and child killing goes right back to biblical times. Moses, slaughtered his way to the promised land and then Joshua took over, destroying entire cities before stealing the land from the Canaanites, whilst Solomon, the Jewish hero, sacrificed children to Molech.
As for the sexual abuse of children, that goes right back to the Talmud -
“An adult man who engaged in intercourse with a minor girl less than three years old has done nothing, as intercourse with a girl less than three years old is tantamount to poking a finger into the eye.” – ketubot 11b.
Then there is the abhorrent post-circumcision ritual known as Melzitzah b’peh.
There is also, of course, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, whose horrendous sexual abuse of children involving top politicians and celebrities would appear to have been a blackmail plot organised by Mossad. Epstein was very friendly with former Israel prime minister Ehud Barak, whom he met on at least 30 occasions, whilst Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert, was a Mossad agent. Whilst in jail. Maxwell had her spiritual needs catered for by the ultra-orthodox sect, Chabad- Lubavitch, a group that will be discussed at the end of the article.
Israel is also the centre for organ trafficking. They not only pay poor people to have organs removed they also steal them from dead bodies without the consent of relatives, with Dr Yehuda Hiss, Israel’s chief pathologist, from 1988 to 2004, being suspected of being a major player in the organ trafficking rings. Israel have also been accused of murdering young Palestinians for their organs.
Israelis indulging in organ trafficking is hardly surprising. Their Jewish supremacist views, seeing themselves to be chosen by God and other non-Jews to be worthless, promotes this type of barbarism.
Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, a member of the Chabad-Lubavitch sect, once said “If you saw two people drowning, a Jew and a non-Jew, the Torah says you save the Jewish life first,” Ginsburgh states. “If every simple cell in a Jewish body entails divinity, is a part of God, then every strand of DNA is part of God. Therefore, something is special about Jewish DNA...If a Jew needs a liver, can you take the liver of an innocent non-Jew passing by to save him? The Torah would probably permit that. Jewish life has infinite value.”
The claim that Israel is a haven for paedophiles stems from the fact the country allows suspected sex offenders fleeing from other countries to claim residence in Israel providing they are Jewish and it is common knowledge and admitted even by the Israeli press. Many of the abusers come from orthodox Jewish groups in the United States where they are often protected by their own communities who frequently refuse to believe the stories of those abused.
According to the Jerusalem Post, tens of thousands of paedophiles stalk the streets of Israel every year, resulting in hundreds of thousands of victims. Some of the high profile cases include that of Thomas Zeron, former head of Mexico’s version of the CIA who fled Mexico in 2019. Despite being suspected of torture and the disappearance of 43 students, he lives openly in Tel Aviv with the Israeli authorities refusing to extradite him due to Mexico supporting calls for the UN to investigate Israel for war crimes.
There is Bryan Singer, director of a number of the X men movies, who is accused of sexually assaulting children, who continues to work on film projects in Israel.
One of the most infamous cases is that of Malka Leifer, who fled to Israel after being accused of abusing 70 students at a Jewish religious school in Melbourne, Australia. She lived in Israel for 7 years, claiming she was mentally ill and couldn’t face trial and was aided by the medical profession, who falsified medical reports on her behalf and politicians, including the Israeli Health minister, who obstructed justice to prevent her extradition. When the Australia Prime Minster met with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Netanyahu pretended he knew nothing about the case despite it being so high profile. It was only after private investigators went undercover and exposed the lie concerning her mental illness, that she was finally deported. Whilst living in Israel she is alleged to have continued her abuse of children.

A number of paedophiles’ like Leifer, end up in living the West Bank which is renowned for harbouring child sex abusers and where incest is rampant. A recent case involved Israel’s minister of illegal settlements, Orit Strook, who was accused by her own daughter of abusing her when she was a child and filming it for child pornography. The daughter also accused her father and brother of participating in the abuse. Her brother was previously convicted of kidnapping and torturing a 15-year-old Palestinian boy. Despite his conviction, Strook, defended her son saying that the court should never have believed the word of an Arab. Strook is a staunch Zionist, claiming there is no such thing as a Palestinian people and was one of the people spreading fake news about Hamas raping Israeli hostages after the 7th of October attack.
An investigation In Australia revealed that ultra-orthodox teaching at Jewish schools in Melbourne and Sydney aided the abusers by telling the pupils that it was against Jewish law and a sin to report on fellow Jews to non-Jews, a religious crime known as mesirah. This allowed perpetrators, including a rabbi, to continue with their crimes.
A lot of the child abuse centres around the ultra-orthodox Haredi sect who, as highlighted by the Australian investigation, interpret the Jewish law to make it a sin to report the criminal acts of Jews to authorities. There are so many instances of members of the Haredi community committing acts of sexual abuse that media headlines highlighting the issue has become common place in Israel.
There is a large Haredi community in Brooklyn, New York. Investigations revealed that when a case of sexual abuse happens it is reported to the shomrim, the volunteer Jewish, street patrol, who simply keep it on file but carry out no further action. If the case goes to a religious authority and it involves a teacher or rabbi, they are just sent to another Jewish school where they can carry on their abuse. Many cases in Brooklyn have involved rabbis, teachers and social workers.
Many of the victims and their families were intimidated or shunned by fellow Jews in their community for reporting their abuse. Government officials were no better. A former Brooklyn district attorney was accused of pandering to the Jewish leaders for political reasons instead of prosecuting the abusers.
In the Wikipedia entry on the Brooklyn case there is a long list of rabbis and spiritual leaders prosecuted for child abuse, showing just how widespread it is.
A rabbi who stood up against the abuse, Rabbi Rosenberg, says that half of all Jewish boys in the Hassidic Brooklyn community have been sexually abused by their elders. He receives death threats on regular basis, has had bleach thrown in his face and is despised by other New York rabbis, who frequently take out advertisements in Yiddish speaking newspapers, condemning him for being an enemy of Israel.

Rosenberg says that a number of Jewish wives have complained about their husbands abusing their children but the husbands then go to the rabbis and politicians who are orthodox Jews and attempt to get the mother removed from the household so the abuse can continue
In an article entitled, ‘The Child Rape Assembly Line,’ Rosenberg recalled a time when he visited a mikvah, a ritualistic Jewish bath house, in Jerusalem and saw an elderly man raping a young boy. The man continued his assault even after he saw Rosenberg, as if the whole thing was a common occurrence. Indeed, there are other occurrences of sexual abuse at Mikvahs. There is the 7-year-old who was raped in one and the case of the rabbi who was convicted of voyeurism and secretly filming naked women in a Washington bathhouse. In fact, the child sexual abuse, advocacy group, Tzedek, have stated, “Sadly there have been reports of many incidents of rapes and sexual abuse of children within the male Mikveh.”
Rabbis and religious leaders are some of the worst sexual offenders, using religious texts to justify their acts. In 2017 Rabbi Ezra Sheinberg, who wrote books on the kabbalah and the Torah, raped young girls who came to him for counselling telling them it would help solve their problems. In 2022, Rabbi Moshe Yazdi was charged with sexual assault, rape and sodomy. Last year Rabbi Menachem Yaveh, 51, was arrested for sexually abusing boys who were part of his cult. The victims said he quoted from the Torah to justify his acts of depravity.
Much, of the abuse is of a ritualistic, almost Satanic, nature with victims claiming they have been abused in schools, synagogues and at home. The victims claim they were repeatedly raped by groups of men led by a Rabbi who would quote religious texts whilst the assaults took place. One victim claimed there was a pentagram on the floor and the assailants would offer praise to demons but would also quote from the bible and she would be surrounded by Jewish religious paraphernalia.
Other high-profile people involved in sexual abuse cases include an author who raped children and the head of a rescue organisation, who had received Israel Prize’s Lifetime Achievement award for his contributions to Israeli settler society, who was accused of paedophilia and necrophilia.
Another extremist Jewish cult accused of child abuse ifs Lev Tahor. They were formed in Israel in the 1980s, and then moved to Canada but after allegations of child abuse, moved on to Guatemala. They force children to marry at the age of 13. Their compound in Guatemala was eventually raided and the children rescued after the group was accused of child sexual abuse.
Chabad-Lubavitch is another group within the Haredi community. It is the most powerful and influential of all Jewish groups and has also been involved in child sexual abuse scandals.
One of the most infamous cases involved a Chabad school in Melbourne, Australia, where a rabbi was found to have abused a number of boys and even admitted it to the principal rabbi. Rather than telling the authorities, the rabbi, as is usual with these sects, did not report him. Instead, he was given a plane ticket to Israel. He eventually moved to the USA where he abused a boy at a synagogue and was sent to prison.
An enquiry found that victims and their families at the school and another Chabad school in Bondi, were shunned, treated as outcasts and were considered sinners for reporting sexual abuse to non-Jewish authorities. One of the Chabad rabbis responded by saying in some circumstances paedophiles should be treated leniently and that he didn’t know it was illegal to touch a child’s genitals.
Chabad-Lubavitch has very close ties to Benjamin Netanyahu. He visited the former head of the Chabad organization, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Shneerson, who many believed was the Jewish messiah, on numerous occasions to seek his advice.
The group is also very close to President Putin. He has thanked the Chabad organisation for all the good work they do for Russian society and was instrumental in their expansion throughout Russia through his friendship with the Chabad rabbi Lazar, who is often referred to as ‘Putin’s rabbi’. Putin even awarded him the medal of honour. In fact Putin has handed out a number of medals to Chabad rabbis. So ardent is Putin in his support of Chabad-Lubavitch that he will not tolerate any criticism of the group and sacked a top security official in 2023 for calling the group a ‘supremacist cult’
Interestingly, the leader of Russia’s alleged greatest enemy, the USA, is also a huge fan of the Chabad movement, President Trump. Trumps’ ties to the movement go back decades when he joined forced in a business venture with Russian Jews linked to the Chabad group. He even hosted the wedding of the daughter of his Chabad business partner in his Mar-a Lago home. When the couple had their first child Trump attended the ceremony at Chabad’s most holy place, the gravesite of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Chabad messiah. Hosting the ceremony was, Lev Leviev, a Russian oligarch, close friend of Putin and massive donator to the Chabad cause. Trump went on to join Leviev in various business ventures.
Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter was a very close friend with the wife of Roma Abramovich, close associate of Putin and big donator to Chabad causes. She went on to marry Jared Kushner an orthodox Jew who is also a big donator to Chabad causes. They have both attended the grave of Rabbi Shneerson and when at Harvard, Kushner supported the campus Chabad house.
Trump, himself, has received Chabad rabbis at his Florida home, declared April 9th 2025, Education and Sharing day in honour of Rabbi Schneerson and has chosen a Chabad-Lubavitcher as his antisemitism czar . Perhaps the most important link to the Chabad sect though is through, Miriam Adelson, a friend of the new Chabad antisemitism czar who has donated large sums of money to Benjamin Netanyahu, illegal settlements in the West bank, the IDF and other Zionist causes and was once awarded the medal of freedom by Trump. She now Trump’s biggest donor, after giving him 100 million dollars for his presidential campaign.
It is obvious therefore that not only is Israel a centre for child abuse but the ultra-orthodox groups, in particular, export their depravity wherever they go. It is also obvious that foreign political leaders around the world either openly support the Israeli genocide in Gaza or refuse to condemn it. If they view children’s lives as so worthless that they openly support their murder, do they also support the sexual abuse of children? Is this the ties that bind them? Surely, one must ask that question for the sake of the children at the end of a rabbi’s hand or the end of soldier’s gun.
