Featured right now on Pat Buchanan's Website is an article that begins:
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM – A Jewish rabbi has issued a book giving Jews permission to murder non-Jews, including babies and children, who may pose an actual or potential threat to Jews or Israel. “It is permissible to kill the Righteous among non-Jews even if they are not responsible for the threatening situation,” Rabbi Yitzhak Shapiro, who heads the Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva in the Yitzhar settlement in the occupied West Bank, wrote in his book “The King’s Torah.”
He argues that goyem (a derogatory epithet for non-Jews) may be killed if they threaten Israel.
“If we kill a Gentile who has sinned or has violated one of the seven commandments – because we care about the commandments – there is nothing wrong with the murder.”
What part is the blood libel? Is the book mis-translated and thus mis-represented? Does no such book exist? A little more info please...
But if Israelis conduct war strikes, preemptive or retaliatory, against their enemy such as Iran and Syria, and civilians (who are often used as human shields by the muzzies) are killed, how is this controversial in the history of warfare?

So, someone claims to have found one Jew who advocates what most all ‘Palestinians’ advocate, as do millions of Muslims beyond that immediate area? Except, I doubt this guy (if he exists) will put this into action, and if he does I expect he’ll run afoul of Israeli law.
It is indeed a blood libel. Buchanan’s motives in putting this aberration on his website are sinister.

Is it factual?
What ‘motives’ are you claiming are involved?
I agree that the comments are certainly not libelous if they are directly quoted from the Rabbi’s book.
I would be interested to know how accurately the Rabbi’s comments reflect the tenets of the faith. If they are accurate, they are very close to representations of Islam that I’ve read on threads.
During the Israeli onslaught against Gaza earlier this year, Mordecahi Elyahu, one of the leading rabbinic figures in Israel, urged the army not to refrain from killing enemy children in order to save the lives of Israeli soldiers.There's nothing in Mordecahi Elyahu's arguments that would not have been agreed with by Allied generals in WW2.He had even petitioned the Israeli government to carry out a series of carpet bombing of Palestinian population centers in Gaza.
“If they don’t stop after we kill 100, then we must kill a thousand. And if they do not stop after we kill a thousand, then we must kill 10,000. If they still don’t stop, we must kill 100,000, even a million. Whatever it takes to stop them.”
Israel has shown too much restraint with the terrorists of Gaza. The overthrow of the Hamas terrorist government and training apparatus would be the best thing that could happen to the children of Gaza.
Prior to 1967, Gaza was part of Egypt, and the West Bank was part of Jordan, with the residents thereof being citizens of Egypt and Jordan respectively. Then after the 1967 war, they magically became "Palestinians", the refuse of the Arab world.
Israel should have demanded that Egypt accept the Gazans as Egyptian citizens, free to move anywhere in Egypt, and offered incentives for them to move out of Gaza.
