The Complete Guide to Killing Non-Jews</span></font>
by Roi Sharon</font><br style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
When is it permissible to kill non-Jews? The book "Torat ha-Melekh" [The
King's Teaching - INT], which was just published, was written by Rabbi
Yitzhak Shapira, the dean of the Od Yosef Hai yeshiva in the community
of Yitzhar near Nablus, together with another rabbi from the yeshiva,
Yossi Elitzur. The book contains no fewer than 230 pages on the laws
concerning the killing of non-Jews, a kind of
guide for anyone who
ponders the question of if and when it is permissible to take the life
of a non-Jew.</span></font><br style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
Although the book is not being distributed by the leading book companies,
it has already received warm recommendations from right-wing elements,
including recommendations from important rabbis such as Yitzhak Ginsburg,
Dov Lior and Yaakov Yosef, that were printed at the beginning of the
book. The book is being distributed via the Internet and through the
yeshiva, and at this stage the introductory price is NIS 30 per copy. At
the memorial ceremony that was held over the weekend in Jerusalem for
Rabbi Meir Kahane, who was killed nineteen years ago, copies of the book
were sold.</font>
Throughout the book, the authors deal with in-depth theoretical
questions in Jewish religious law regarding the killing of non-Jews. The
words "Arabs" and "Palestinians" are not mentioned even indirectly, and
the authors are careful to avoid making explicit statements in favor of
an individual taking the law into his own hands. The book includes
hundreds of sources from the Bible and religious law. The book includes
quotes from Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, one of the fathers of religious
Zionism, and from Rabbi Shaul Yisraeli, one of the deans of the Mercaz
Harav Yeshiva, the stronghold of national-religious Zionism that is
located in Jerusalem.</font>
The book opens with a prohibition against killing non-Jews and justifies
it, among other things, on the grounds of preventing hostility and any
desecration of God's name. But very quickly, the authors move from
prohibition to permission</span>, to the various dispensations for harming
non-Jews, with the central reason being their obligation to uphold the
seven Noahide laws, which every human being on earth must follow. Among
these commandments are prohibitions on theft, bloodshed and idolatry. [The
seven Noahide laws prohibit idolatry, murder, theft, illicit sexual
relations, blasphemy and eating the flesh of a live animal, and require
societies to institute just laws and law courts - INT]</font>
<b style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">"When we approach a non-Jew who has violated the seven Noahide laws and
kill him out of concern for upholding these seven laws, no prohibition
has been violated,"</span>[/b] states the book, which emphasizes that killing is
forbidden unless it is done in obedience to a court ruling. But later
on, the authors limit the prohibition, noting that it applies only to a
"proper system that deals with non-Jews who violate the seven Noahide
commandments"</span>............</font>
