King's Torah splits Israel's religious and secular Jews
BBC ^ | July 19, 2011 | Yolande Knell

Recent protests in Israel highlight the differences between the country's religious and secular Jewish communities.

Hundreds of right-wing Jews have taken part in demonstrations outside Israel's Supreme Court over the brief detention of two prominent rabbis in the last few weeks.

There were clashes with police on horseback on the nearby Jerusalem streets and several arrests were made.

Rabbis Dov Lior and Yacob Yousef had endorsed a highly controversial book, the King's Torah - written by two lesser-known settler rabbis. It justifies killing non-Jews, including those not involved in violence, under certain circumstances.

The fifth chapter, entitled "Murder of non-Jews in a time of war" has been widely quoted in the Israeli media. The summary states that "you can kill those who are not supporting or encouraging murder in order to save the lives of Jews".

At one point it suggests that babies can justifiably be killed if it is clear they will grow up to pose a threat.

Idiots. Ammunition for anti-semites all over the world. Might as well sell the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” alongside this book.

Yes, fighting fire with fire is ultimately unsuccessful. Keep above the fray. It’s worked out great so far.

Are these those stupid Haredis again, who are exempt from service in the IDF? If so, this once again proves they have way too much time on their hands.

‘fighting fire with fire’

Otherwise known as ‘Creating a Holocaust’. What a great idea!

War is determined by who has the will to do the worst to the enemy. The second you can’t match a enemy’s moves in cruelty is the second you lose. This has nothing to do with religion or morality. War is about imposing your will, NO MATTER WHAT. Make the enemy run away screaming.

Sorry, killing infants went out with Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and Pol Pot.

200 years from now, I want their children’s children’s children
to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead
because their legends tell of fire from the sky.

I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth,
shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines
because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters
crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with
“If you don’t behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you”,
and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obedience.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology
will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea
.. the powerful ‘Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers’ wickedness.

You don’t know the Bible very well, do you?

The U.S.A. firebombed whole cities in Germany and Japan during WWII, destroying everything including the civilian population. It worked well for the Americans. Would you deny that offensive capability to the Jews, when their entire nation is at risk of total annihilation by blood-thirsty Arabs?

We (the entire world) are marching into war in the next few years, and Americans may face the prospect of whole cities being destroyed. We will again have to fight fire with fire, which means not going out with a whimper but being ruthless in order to survive.

If you single out infants for slaughter, as opposed to making war on an enemy population, you are one with Herod.

Jesus came to confirm the Old Testemant. Maybe the standard interpretation of the New Testemant is incorrect? That would be my opinion.

Rome hasn’t had much of a problem with Carthage lately, have they?

There is an old saying that if you don’t watch out you can become like the thing you hate.

God gave the Jews under Saul carte blanche. Too bad they didn’t run it up to the limit. No, a tool, like this idiot, had to decide what is best. After all, he created himself, didn’t he?

You left out Truman when he fire bombed Tokyo, and nuked Hiroshima and Nagasake. Let's throw in the fire bombing of Dresden. Let's throw in Clinton when the Army fire bombed the Branch Davidian Waco compound.

I can see the Rabbis not wanting to undely risk lives of Jews fighting Muslims by taking extrodinary measures to avoid killing of civilians whom the Muslims stand behind. I guess you stand with the leftist media who poison the news and blame the Jews for all that is ill.
