Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira and the cover of his book "The Torah of the King"Al Arabiya
An Arab member of the Israeli parliament called for a ban on a book written by a rabbi who sanctions the killing of non-Jewish children if they pose a threat to security, according to press reports Tuesday.
The 320-page book called "The Torah of the King" is a collection of religious edicts, backed by fanatic Jews and extremist right-wing groups, sanctioning the killing of gentiles, non-Jews, including babies and children, if they pose a threat to Israel’s security.
...According to Rabbi Shapira, non-Jews who weaken the sovereignty of Jews, even by speech, should be killed even if they are not directly involved in a threatening situation.
Many prominent rabbis have praised the book and recommended it to their students and followers, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported Monday.
...The book was also sold in the religious school of the Yitzhar settlement, near Nablus. In addition to the fact the settlement contains the largest number of Kahane supporters, it is also headed by Rabbi Shapira himself. Full story
