"Kill men, women and children (and cattle)"

Miss Turck may have missed the subsequent response by Rabbi Friedman: "Additionally, my answer, as published, is misleading. For it is, in truth, an answer to a different question. It is obvious, I thought, that any neighbor of the Jewish people should be treated, as the Torah commands us, with respect and compassion. Fundamental to the Jewish faith is the concept that every human being was created in the image of G-d, and our sages instruct us to support the non-Jewish poor along with the poor of our own brethren. The question my statement addresses is: how should we act in time of war, when our neighbors attack us, using their women, children and religious holy places as shields. I attempted to briefly address some of the ethical issues related to forcing the military to withhold fire from certain people and places, at the unbearable cost of widespread bloodshed (on both sides!)—when one’s own family and nation is mercilessly targeted from those very people and places! (I look forward to further clarifying my brief words, too, in a future issue.)" http://momentmagazine.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/a-statement-from-rabbi-fr... With their miserable record, the Council on American Islamic Relations needs a lesson in humility. I'm surprised that Miss Turck didn't mention any relevant facts about CAIR that would seriously damage their credibility in discussing the question asked of Rabbi Friedman.

Rabbi Friedman answered a moral question that many Jews (as well as leftists and the chattering classes) refuse to confront and are embarrassed to answer: How do you fight an enemy that calls for the annihilation of Israel and the extermination of Jews? Answer: You kill them, to the very last Jew hater, to the very last jihadist that uses civilians as human shields, the jihadist who calls for your destruction, who launches missile attacks against your cities, who murders your civilians in bus, restaurant, dance club, and religious observance bombings; kidnappings, and shootings. You kill them to the very last jihadist that carries a rifle, gun, bomb, or missile and who calls for your murder. You kill them as you would any Nazi soldier. In case you haven't noticed, the Islamists want to exterminate the Jews. Refer to the Hamas covenant, Fatah, Palestinian (Arab) Islamic Jihad, the Islamic Republic of Iran, et. al. http://www.memri.org would be a good place for you to start in your education and bring you out of your dark hole of ignorance. Don't lecture me about the moral responsibilities of Jews. The Jews have conducted themselves well considering the tactics and behavior of their enemies. Would you survive a state of siege for over 60 years after your people were slaughtered by the millions? I'd like to see your reaction if jihadists launch in excess of 4,637 random missile attacks against your neighborhood in 3 years, or if an Arab Islamist detonates a bomb-belt on the Route 21 Metro bus westbound during rush hour, G-d forbid. What will you say then? Will you finally confront evil?
