World Remains Ignorant of What Israelis Well Know of the Indescribable Horror It's Military is Creating
APRIL 8, 2024, Times of Israel, "Radical Israeli rabbis come under fire amid settler violence" [9]
The King's Torah, a 2009 book by firebrand rabbis Yitzhak Shapira and Yosef Elitzur, is perhaps one of the most provocative texts.
It quotes religious sages as permitting, under certain conditions, the killing of non-Jews, including babies, "if there is a good chance they will grow up to be like their evil parents." The book says "thou shalt not murder" does not necessarily apply to non-Jewish victims.
Its authors have said it is meant to be seen as religious theory and not a guidebook. The book has been endorsed by other rabbis, among them Rabbi Dov Lior, a longtime symbol of religious and nationalist extremism, and US-born Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, who heads a yeshiva in the hard-line West Bank settlement of Yitzhar.
Critics blame Ginsburgh's writings -- including a pamphlet that praises Baruch Goldstein, a settler who killed 29 Muslim worshippers at a West Bank shrine in 1994 -- for fuelling the attacks by extremist Jews against Palestinian property, mosques and churches.
