California – The father of one of the San Bernardino killers told an Italian newspaper on Sunday that his son, Sayed Rizan Farook, had an obsessive hatred of Israel that underscored his Islamic radicalism and allegiance to the ideals of Islamic State.

An anti-Semitic streak was also discovered within the family as the father, Sayed Farook said he tried to dissuade his son from violence by telling him that “Nobody wants the Jews…In two years. Israel will no longer exist.”
The senior Farook, in an interview with Italian newspaper La Stampa, described his son as “an angel. Good, obedient studious. Maybe a little too shy, conservative and firmly against Israel.”
He said that although the family, originally from Pakistan but living in the US since 1973, were liberal city dwellers, his son became obsessed with Islam as a teenager, even refusing to go to parties because “a good Muslim can only see his wife dance.”
The younger Farook’s extremist tendencies only seemed to grow with time. The father told of his shock when he discovered that his son was in possession of a firearm.
“In my 45 years in the United States, I shouted to him, I never had a weapon,” Farook said he told his son. “He shrugged and told me ‘All the worse for you.'”
Farook confirmed that his son spoke of Islamic State (noting, “Who doesn’t these days?”) and “prescribed to the ideals outlined by IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,” which included hating Israel.
“‘Be patient,'” he tried to tell his son. “In two years, Israel won’t exist anymore. Geopolitics is changing in Russia, China and America too.”
“Nobody wants the Jews. What use is it to fight? We have tried it and we lost. Israel does not fight with weapons, but rather with politics.'”
This was apparently still not enough to dissuade his son from violence.
Farook said he will not be able to find peace again after losing his son. “You break your back to raise a child and lose him like this? How can you recover from such a tragedy. I’m 67 years old and my life here is finished.”
THE apple does not fall far the tree.
Even if it seems irrational, the fact is that the State of Israel has inflamed and even produced so much of the anti-jewish feelings in the world today. I know that eisav sonei yakov and that we have survived many bitter periods of anti-Semitism before there was a State but I refer to the current realities. Who can even think to claim that the Jewish people are safer today because of the State than we would be if there was no State and we were all living spread out in galus (including in EY)?
Such a peaceful religion and people. Trying to calm his son by telling him such peaceful words ‘Israel won’t exist in 2 years’ חײו.
Bring more of such peaceful people in our country and urge us not to fear Obama
Unfortunately we have tens of thousands of frum chasidish children being educated and brainwashed with the same pathological and irrational hatred against our God given Eretz Yisroel,so why would be surprised that Muslim non Jews have that hatred too ?
CH.S
Its crazy, the all world is suffering cause Israel, give back Israel to the Arabs & stop fighting them caused to many Jewish blood already this land, Satmar rabba z”l was so right everyone agrees to him now already.
Do you read what the Father said, who Is a US citizen with no record of any harm to US.
“In 2 years (he said) No More Israel.”
That’s what normal many US Goyim hope for.
Your life never started. I don’t think you even know what life means too bad for you and your family that you wasted your whole life living with hate being poisoned by all those around you and not seeing any issues with teaching three-year-olds how to be violent through training cartoons ect.it’s a shame that innocent children what actually have parents who was feed them such poison how could one say that they miss there love ones if they do that to their own children what type of twisted love is there with your people May God show mercy and bring peace to the world because even my enemies when I see them getting killed the weather getting k May God show mercy and bring peace to the world because even my enemies ( children)when I see them getting killed it’s sad because they never had a chance to enjoy the beauty of this world
Pity he wasn’t in that SUV
I’m so HAPPY for his misfortune
I truly hope he lives a long life wallowing in his sorrow
This donkey of a person comes from a country (pakistan) with no Jews! Lives in an area with very few jews
But is full of hate for Jews who never harmed him or his family
This idiot doesn’t even realize that it is the liberal jewish leftists who have allowed him to live in the USA
#2 is correct.
That’s why it is a must to let the non-Jewish world know that Zionism is against the fundamental basics of Judaism. They must know that even though we see how the Misnachlim with Tzizis and Yarmulkas are in the forefront fighting and inciting Palestinians still real Torah Jews are against them.
It is a must for every Jew who is seeking the truth to learn the Sefer Voyal Moshe by the great Satmar rebbe where he brings down the Talmud and all rishoneim that Al Pi Torah it is not allowed to have a Jewish state before Moshicah comes.
He also writes that it is a must a Chiyuv to let the non-Jewish world know that Zionist/Israel do not represent Orthodox Jews.
Remember,the great Chofetz Chaim writes that the Zionist are Amalekites.
We have commenters on here that are bigger anti-Semites than these guys.
To the two delusional NK members who keep posting here, yeah… everything started because of Zionism right? The pogroms in Europe never happened. Expulsions from so many other countries never happened. It all only happened after Zionism came into the picture, right? Maybe a secular education would help you since you obviously have not been taught that people hate Jews no matter what. They hate us whether or not there is an Israel, they hate us whether we’re a minority or a majority. You are taught revisionist history and you are no better than the Holocaust deniers the NK smooches with on international media.
Deport this piece of Jew hating dreck back to the sewer he crawled out of.
