It is time to bash Jewish nuts: Yep, they exist:

Quote:
Rabbis Dov Lior and Yacob Yousef had endorsed a highly controversial book, the King's Torah - written by two lesser-known settler rabbis. It justifies killing non-Jews, including those not involved in violence, under certain circumstances.

The fifth chapter, entitled "Murder of non-Jews in a time of war" has been widely quoted in the Israeli media. The summary states that "you can kill those who are not supporting or encouraging murder in order to save the lives of Jews".

At one point it suggests that babies can justifiably be killed if it is clear they will grow up to pose a threat.

I am glad you are an equal opportunity flagflapper

And I am glad there was no video [I always brace myself]/

Still - how does what sounds to me like a basic principle of human warfare constitute religious nuttitude?

In effect, this says, if it is OK to fight a war as a Jew then it is okay to do what war entails.

In fact, this could be viewed as reining in the soldiery by suggesting you can't kill just everybody for fun without claiming danger to Jews.

If every "nutty" or disapproved thing a theist says or does is to be taken as debunking theism, then every "nutty" or disapproved thing an atheist says cuts the legs out from under atheism.
