murders a gentile he's not executed? Is Prof. Shahak correct when he says "...the murder of a Jew is a capital offense and one of the three most heinous sins (the other two being idolatry and adultery). Jewish religious courts and secular authorities are commanded to punish, even beyond the limits of the ordinary administration of justice, anyone guilty of murdering a Jew. . . . When the victim is a Gentile, the position is quite different. A Jew who murders a Gentile is guilty only of a sin against the laws of Heaven, not punishable by a court. To cause indirectly the death of a Gentile is no sin at all."
(not secular authorities in the current state of Israel. The authorities in the context of when the Halakha was written centuries ago).
 
no you see thats "taken out of context", "the nazis made it up"...

theres always a good excuse when you confront abrahamic religionists with their writings
 
Not cool. I think the Islamic belief is very similar.

But you know, I think you will find the best answer if you ask this to an actual rabbi, there might be a perfectly reasonable explanation. Most jews are very peaceful and accepting toward other religions, even more so than Christians.
