That rabbis would try to find a religious justification to allow the murder on non Jews is pure insanity. That other rabbis would defend this insanity speaks to the greater delusional nature of these extremist people. That they would refuse to voluntarily submit to the State of Israel demonstrates that their insanity has become violent criminality. They should not be respected for their positions. They do not represent the Jews of the world. They should be arrested, prosecuted, and jailed. They are a delusional abomination.

So there's a "duty of struggling for independence of the rabbinate and against the interference of the state in the rabbis' work. " How about stopping the rabbinate interfering in everything the State does? Oh, I suppose that's OK.

The state of Israel is reminding the lower caste religious Jews that they are above God and that no opposition to their agenda will be tolerated. May all the godless left of Israel get their due soon.

What is the difference between these Rabbis and the Ayatollahs and their Fatwas? No wonder the Jews are hated because of the damage their Rabbis are causing in the name of religion. Jews around the world: Revolt against the Rabbis!!

SANTA CLAUSES SINCE CHRISTMAS IS NEAR !!! :)

the criticism of this book and of these rabbis are lacking in proper jurisprudence. halacha is a legal system and to argue outside of it's confines, disagreeing with it's outcome makes no sense to those who believe in the validity of halacha. I'd love to see a proper review and dissent of that book based on judaic sources.

This is religious moral high ground? This is Judaism? What next, stonings? Violence against non-believers? What are we, Koran followers, Inquisitors? This is not the state that my parents and grandparents prayed for. This is not a country that I want to bring my children up in anymore. We let these 18th century animals into the government and let them run religious affairs= we have truly let the lunatics take over the asylum.

GREAT TALKBACK! I agree with you wholeheartedly.

I think rabbis should have the right to advocate beating certain people provided the people who don't like what they say have the right to beat the rabbis for saying it.

appear to answer questions by the police constitutes another crime. Just because a perpetrator is a rabbi does not exempt him from obeying the laws of the state, nor from the consequences of violating that law. For Israel's rabbis, including the Rabbinate which came out in support of the perpetrators criminality, to challenge that authority is a clear and open challenge to the democratic secular state they choose to reside in. As such they are undermining the state, and by their actions seeking to erode legal authority. Israel does not have a two-tier legal system exempting the privileged minority. Israel is obligated to administer the law equitably for all residents.

advocate violence against anybody, Jewish or Non-Jewish. Who are Rabbis are they the police, are they the military, what type of thuggery gang violence are they advocating, and who made them judge and jury?

which religions are considered to follow the Noahide Laws? Christians, Buddhists etc. are considered idolators... Muslims are not idolaters (Rambam made that clear) plus they do abide with the rest of the laws so I think they're relatively safe lol.

I am scratching my head in an attempt to find differences between; torah hamelech, meine kampf, and the koran. The common denominators are striking (with minor adjustments) : hate, violence, reject of man's law, ( they all claimed divine law), forcefully enforce their warped ideology, all respectable parasites (never liked to work) and, as usual, started as a minority but, by hook and by crook, overcame the majority (always weak . disorganised, brainless at that)

I fel every one has the right tofree speach but Rabbis are special and must be careful that they do not insite to violence. Their justifaction of tihs book is a poor and incorrect interpretaion of Jewish laws and norms.

Why cant you do some decent journalism instead of just storytelling about what the police thinks. What do you think about the book.? Have any of you actually read it. Which parts of the book do the police object?

It is totally right to question the rabbi's teaching, because he is human and he could err. The questioning now is on his teaching and interpretation, NOT on the Torah.

to spew out hatred and intollerance - just another reason to disrespect them more than I do already.

Chet

the State laws that are ABOVE all others

Rabbis and academics are demanding freedom of speech!! For the rabbis, agree If talk is silver then silence is gold.

Speaking freely is one thing but of late such speaches have included incitement to violence and death threats. These people must learn to think before they incite hatred to others based on religious beliefs. Words can lead to violence and for those of us here in Israel we are only to aware of such.

Is this journalism??? I would expect at least one quote from the book!!!

What kind of difference would there be between violence against a Jew or a non-Jew and would you expect it upon yourself? It could be a spontaneous event where either you or someone is involved. Institutions are established dealing with all kinds of law and order. There are international institutuions as well. Do they coincide? Israel has branches familiar with this too.

People will rejoice when these kind of groups are no longer on the planet. They will never get the respect they want until they give it to others. I am aware of the hatred these people give and then they want the world to have compassion on them. It won't happen like that.
