Its an open letter to a Jewish peacenik about Jewish Just War theory. As Steven Plaut points out, Judaism cannot be reduced to the pursuit of peace. To seek it with the truly wicked is to detract from the love of peace, which like all else in life, comes from G-d. The purpose of war is to utterly destroy evil-doers so a peace with righteousness may be established upon the earth. More to the point - the Jew is not commanded to co-exist with the Nazi or the Hamas fascist. Just the opposite. It is only when anti-Semites are annihilated, that Jews are safe.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

You ignore the call by the Prophet Joel (4:9-10): "... Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. "

A favorite, though less popular that the swords into plowshares citations, equally valid under the proper circumstance.
