This is what Rabbi Manis Friedman (born 1946) is a Chabad Lubavitch Hassid. He is a noted biblical scholar, author, counselor and speaker and is the dean of the Bais Chana Institute of Jewish Studies. He is especially noted for his exceptional grasp of Jewish mysticism. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manis_Friedman ) said in the may/June issue of Moment Magazine in their Ask the Rabbis, a forum that appears in each issue, provides a rare opportunity to read the opinions of rabbis from across the spectrum of Judaism. Its purpose is to illuminate the diversity within Jewish thinking and create a cross-denominational discussion that leads to deeper understanding .

I don’t believe in western morality, i.e. don’t kill civilians or children, don’t destroy holy sites, don’t fight during holiday seasons, don’t bomb cemeteries, don’t shoot until they shoot first because it is immoral.The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way: Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women and children (and cattle).The first (Israeli) prime minister who declares that he will follow the Old Testament will finally bring peace to the Middle East. First, the Arabs will stop using children as shields. Second, they will stop taking hostages knowing that we will not be intimidated. Third, with their holy sites destroyed, they will stop believing that G-d is on their side. Result: no civilian casualties, no children in the line of fire, no false sense of righteousness, in fact, no war.Zero tolerance for stone throwing, for rockets, for kidnapping will mean that the state has achieved sovereignty. Living by Torah values will make us a light unto the nations who suffer defeat because of a disastrous morality of human invention

And how can the rest of the world stop them? Boycott. It works. All we need to get more people to boycott is to show them it works, show them how many others are doing it so they know their own contribution isn't too small to count. I'm trying to get word out about www.togetheragainstyranny.com - where we need more people to add up so the skeptics can see light. Please visit the site and update the global boycott counter. The world CAN make a difference, if we do it together.
