Yitzhak Shapira

Yitzhak Shapira is an Israeli rabbi who in 2009 published a book ( The King's Torah ) in which he writes that it is permissible for Jews to kill non-Jews (including children) who threaten Israel . The conditions under which this permission applies include presence of the assumption that a child will grow up to become an enemy of the Jewish people. The book was distributed by Yeshivat HaRaayon HaYehudi in Jerusalem , which adheres to the ideas of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane . The book contains an endorsement by Rabbi Zalman Nechemia Goldberg . A member of the Israeli Knesset (Ofer Pines) called on the attorney general to open a criminal investigation against Shapira on account of the book. Shapira was arrested under suspicion of incitement in 2006 after having advocated expelling or killing all male Palestinians above the age of 13. In 2008 he signed a "manifesto" in support of Israelis suspected of beating two Arab youths during that year's Holocaust Remembrance Day . In January 2010, Shapira was arrested for his "alleged involvement in the torching of a Palestinian mosque in the village of Yasuf ." Shapira lives in the West Bank Israeli settlement Yitzhar and is the head of the Dorshei Yihudcha yeshiva there. According to Haaretz columnist Akiva Eldar , Shapira's yeshiva receives substantial funding from the Israeli government.

Yitzhak Shapira is an Israeli rabbi who lived in the West Bank Israeli settlement Yitzhar and is head of the Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva . In 2009 he published a book ( The King's Torah ) in which he writes that it is permissible for Jews to kill non-Jews (including children) who threaten the lives of Jews. The book states "There is a reason to kill babies [on the enemy side] even if they have not transgressed the seven Noahide Laws because of the future danger they may present, since it is assumed that they will grow up to be evil like their parents." They can be killed indirectly to put pressure on enemy leaders, or if they are "in the way". They can also be harmed if they "prevent a rescue, because their presence contributes to murder". He also writes that children of the king can be harmed to pressure him if he is wicked and harming them will prevent him from acting wickedly. He adds that "it is better to kill one pursuing another to murder him, than to kill others." The book was distributed by Yeshivat HaRaayon HaYehudi in Jerusalem , which adheres to the ideas of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane . Yehuda Bauer described the book as a "mortal danger to the Jewish people as a whole". Ophir Paz-Pines , a member of the Israeli Knesset , called on the attorney general to open a criminal investigation against Shapira on account of the book. Shapira was detained for questioning in 2006 over an article that advocated expelling or killing all male Palestinians above the age of 13 in the West Bank. In 2008 he signed a "manifesto" in support of Israelis suspected of beating two Arab youths during that year's Holocaust Remembrance Day . In January 2010, he was arrested for his "alleged involvement in the torching of a Palestinian mosque in the village of Yasuf ." He denied any involvement, and was released due to lack of evidence. In October 2010, he urged Israel Defense Forces soldiers to use Palestinian civilians as human shields , claiming that it was against "true Jewish values" for a soldier to endanger his life for the sake of enemy soldiers or civilians.
