"Hindrances babies...they may be killed because their presence aids murder. There is justification for killing babies if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us, and in such a situation they may be harmed deliberately, and not only during combat with adults..."
Excerpt from the recently published book "Torat ha-Melekh [The King's Teaching] by Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira (dean of the Od Yosef Hai yeshiva in the community of Yitzhar near Nablus) and Rabbi Yossi Elitzur from the yeshiva. This book contains over 200 pages on the authors' interpretations of jewish laws which provide justification in the killing of non-Jews.
This book provides, in clear, unambiguous terms, the justification for ethnic cleansing/genocide of non Jews. In its basest moment it provides the justification for the murder of children, to be more specific, the murder of babies.
What is the difference between this abomination of a book and "Meine Kampf?"
The state of Israel and its leaders must vociferously denounce the vile and disgusting interpretation of jewish teachings this book purports to.
If it allows these interpretations to go unchallenged and through its silence accepted, the world will come to recognize that, the state of Israel has morphed into the new "Third Reich."
Israel's blatant disregard for the plight of the people of the West bank and Gaza, who to all intensive purposes are enslaved in 'concentration camps' will now be seen through the hate filled eyes of Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira and Rabbi Yossi Elitzur, and their justification for ethnic cleansing/genocide of non Jews.
Israel's silence on this issue is deafening.
America's silence on this issue is deafening.

The press secretary laughed at this repetition of a common Thomas inquiry, but this questioner, who has covered every president since Kennedy, wasn't about to be silenced. "I ask it day after day because it has great meaning in this country, and you never answer it," she said.
"Well, I -- I -- I apparently don't answer it to your satisfaction," Gibbs stammered.
"That's right," Thomas snarled.
"I -- I'll -- I'll give you the same answer that I gave you unsatisfactorily for many of those other days," Gibbs offered. "It's what the president believes in --"
"Is he going to fight for it or not?" Thomas snapped.
"We're going to work to get choice and competition into health-care reform" was Gibbs's vague response.
Thomas took that as a no. "You're not going to get it," she advised.
"Then why do you keep asking me?" Gibbs inquired.
"Because I want your conscience to bother you," Thomas replied. The room erupted..."
