A new book by an Israeli Rabbi has raised eyebrows. Rabbi Yitzhak Shapiro is a resident of the Yitzhar settlement located in the Samarian hills. The settlement is around 130 families strong and Rabbi Shapiro is the head of the Dorshei Yichudcha Yeshiva .

In a book entitled “The King’s Torah” the Rabbi explains that even babies and children can be killed if they pose a threat to the nation of Israel. Surprising as it may sound other rabbis such as Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh and Yaakov Yosef have recommended the book to their students:

“Rabbi Yitzhak Shapiro, who heads the Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva in the Yitzhar settlement, wrote in his book “The King’s Torah” that even babies and children can be killed if they pose a threat to the nation.

Shapiro based the majority of his teachings on passages quoted from the Bible, to which he adds his opinions and beliefs.

“It is permissible to kill the Righteous among Nations even if they are not responsible for the threatening situation,” he wrote, adding: “If we kill a Gentile who has sinned or has violated one of the seven commandments – because we care about the commandments – there is nothing wrong with the murder.” {Source: Haaretz}

Imagine what the reaction to the book  would have been like if Rabbi Yitzhak Shapiro was a Muslim, writing about the permissibility of murdering Israeli babies and children ?
