Yesha Rabbinical Council: During time of war, enemy has no innocents

YnetNews:

The Yesha Rabbinical Council announced in response to an IDF attack in Kfar Qanna that "according to Jewish law, during a time of battle and war, there is no such term as 'innocents' of the enemy."

All of the discussions on Christian morality are weakening the spirit of the army and the nation and are costing us in the blood of our soldiers and civilians," the statement said. (Efrat Weiss)

This is the kind of statement one could expect from Hezbollah or Hamas, but not rabbis! Somehow, I believe they may have only given Hezbollah more ammunition. Can rabbis be retards? This council shows it is possible.

It only shows that there are religious extremist on both sides. I think it is totally irresponsible and stupid to release such statements wheter they come from muslims, jews or christians for that matter.

The guys who released with statement are probably in the same line as those ultra orthodox jews dancing around the artillery while their firing
