Independent Media Center, Israel http://indymedia.org.il RE bout Judaism author: Dave

What you say is an exceptionally thin justification for taking another’s life. Such circumstances are very rare. For example, what has just occurred at Rafah in no way fits your statement. Nor does any use of heavy artillery to ‘target’ an individual or group. There are those who would interpret what you say to justify anything, even ‘pre-emptive’ violence. What Rita said prior to the statement you questioned is that there is always a *creative* solution to any problem; creativity always being life-affirming. Destructive *solutions* are an affront to G-d, despite any ‘special dispensations’ you may find. The great challenge for humans is to rise above violent solutions and seek always the creative spirit within.
