Actually, Israel Shahak has found a lot of scriptural basis for how the Palestinians are being treated, and there are rabbis currently employed by the government who are serving as rabbis for the IDF who are using scriptural teachings to whip up a lot of fervor for killing and displacing Palestinians, and the complete elimination of all Palestinians from the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. These people are not representative of all Jews, but they are a significant and very powerful force in Israel.
