Rabbi’s book says Jews can kill gentiles

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- A West Bank rabbi has written a book that says Jews can kill non-Jews who threaten Israel.
Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira of the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar released the book Monday.
Shapira, head of the Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva, also said in "The King's Torah" that it is permissible to kill children if they pose a threat, Ha'aretz reported.
The book is based on Bible quotations to which Shapira has added his own opinions.
"The King's Torah" was released shortly after the announcement of the arrest of an alleged Jewish terrorist who admitted to killing Palestinians and attacks on messianic Jews and left-wing Jews.

The publication of a sefer entitled Toras HaMelech (The King’s Torah) written by Rabbi Yitzchak Shapira, the rosh yeshiva of Ohd Yosef Chai Yeshiva in Yitzhar, has become an item in the news in EretzYisrael on Monday, with the book explaining one is permitted in accordance with halacha to kill goyim who threaten Eretz Yisrael.
The sefer enjoys approbations from HaGaon HaRav Dov Lior Shlita, Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, and Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh. It is important to point out that while the media is having a field day with the sefer, it is written that the sefer discusses theoretic halachic principles, and in no way calls for the murder of goyim, “Arabs” or “Palestinians” as the media seeks to imply. The sefer goes as far as to state “one may not take the law into one’s hands” and that the sugyot discussed as strictly halachic interpretations for the sake of learning and understanding halacha and not chas v’sholom a license to kill, the words used for the bold daily Maariv headline (see photo).
The sefer adds that killing a non-Jew who has violated the Seven Mitzvos given to non-Jews because we care about torah and mitzvos, then this is acceptable. It stresses the importance of Eretz Yisrael, the halachic requirements of the land, and living within a torah framework, quoting passages from Tanach and the Rambam, citing sources for the halachic ruling.
Back in 1996, Rav Ido Elba published a 19-page kuntris on halachic guidelines regarding when one may kill a non-Jew, a publication that was also a halachic discourse, not a handbook for murder chas v’sholom. He was indicted for publishing the sefer and found guilty by the Jerusalem District Court. He appealed the conviction to the Supreme Court and lost. The court rejected the fact that the sefer deal with theoretic halachic matters, not an actual license for murdering goyim.
He served a two-year jail term.
With Israel’s retreat from Shechem in 2001, the yeshiva which was established in 1982, located in the Kever Yosef complex was expelled, forced to relocate, setting up its new home in Yishuv Yitzhar. Rav Shapira, the rosh yeshiva, is a long-time resident of Yitzhar, a Chabad chossid, and a talmid of Rav Yitzchak Ginsburgh who is a known authority on kabala and runs the Gal Eini Institute.

I see you're firmly on their side.Damos,
No one is out to get you because you make anti-cop myspace pages, or that you believe in conspiracy theories that have been debunked, time and time again, only for you to come back with some more "sources" that are ridden with error and other problems. You live in a ultra-paranoid, contradicting world where white people are devils and terrorist (which I understand, to a point when looking solely at some of society's worst off) and what not, however, when a black person or any non-white person commits an act of evil or possible terrorist attack you automatically assume it's a conspiracy and use no evidence other than another conspiracy site to back up your redundant claims.
No one cares that you or I exist, and no one will care when you and I leave this earth.
Live with it.

I've noticed how the media has been mostly silent on this bigoted, zionist, pice-ov-trash rabbi. Yet, had it been a Muslim cleric saying [essentially] the same this, we'd all be bombarded with reports ov "Muslim intolorance" ad-nausea, non-stop!

something else said:Israel is an illegal state that was founded on the backs of the Palestinians for one thing so it's no surprise the Arabs hate and want to destroy the parasites. I'd be doing the same thing if I was one of them, so this evil rabi can go blow a goat.

Defenders of Zionism always seem to forget that one minor detail.
