Yesha Rabbinical Council: During time of war, enemy has no innocentsThe 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)
However, the Yesha Rabbinical Council cited a Deb Frisch Exception, saying that the leaving of icky comments about people’s families on the Internet is a terrible atrocity to be condemned by all civilized people — and for which the only redress is banning the troll massive cash donations.

Remember when they use to use tents and choirs to suck that money out of the flock?

Well, that DOES sound like the Old Testament…

Shorter Yesha Rabbinical Council: “We’re not christian, so blow it out your ass.”
Woo-hoo! My first comment, AND my first Shorter! What do I win?

Just as background, the Yesha Rabbinical Council is the un-official voice of the settlers in the occupied lands. They probably don’t represent mainstream Judaism. Still, I expect to hear a chorus of condemnation from the Christian right about the Council dissing “Christian morality” like that.

Hmm. If they’re The Enemy, they’re not innocent, by definition, or something. So, like, what makes them The Enemy? And if someone isn’t doing that, are they still not innocent?

Wow, Clif. That’s a very well thought-out observation (no snark, I’m serious).
Something I’m not used to seeing here…

Duh, they are The Enemy because they are not innocent! Jeesh, people, get a clue!

Clif, if Bill O’Reilly can pander to the Fox Jews while claiming that the liberal Jews heart terrorists, I don’t think that a small-time nutjob is going to ping on their cognative dissonance meter.

‘Abortino’ is a good word, though. A fetal neutrino.

This is, of course, totally different from Palestinians waging a guerrilla war and killing Israeli innocents. That’s just MONSTROUS!
Fucking hypocrites.
Shorter version: “Deaths on our side are important. Deaths on their side aren’t.”

Actually, the Yesha Rabbinical Council issues that ruling. Convenient, that.
