The spiritual leader of the United Torah Judaism party, Rabbi Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman, called the world’s eight billion non-Jews murderers, thieves and senseless at a conference held in Beit Shemesh

Shteinman was quoted as having said: "Today they say there are eight billion people in the world. And what are they all? Murderers, thieves and senseless. Did God create the world for these murderers? The world was created for the righteous people who study Torah. That is the purpose of creation ... The nations of the world have no redeeming qualities."
