Jewish law calls for civilian murders? m

Here's a link to a shocking little article about Jewish religious leaders and an arm of the Israeli military commanding the killing of INNOCENT civilians. One of the chief rabbis of Israel signed the manifesto!

This is the equivalent of the United States military setting up a wing for, say, Catholic priests, which advocated killing innocent Jews provided it would save the lives of Catholics, with the Archbishop of New York as a co-signatory.

Would someone like to explain the philosophical difference between the "Arrangement Yeshivot" and Hamas? Maybe you could include an additional explanation as to why my tax dollars support the Israeli military, when it advocates the killing of innocent non-Jews.

"The second manifesto declares that the Halakha (Jewish religious law) commands the killing of innocent Palestinian civilians if this helps to save Jews. It is signed by the heads of the “Arrangement Yeshivot”, the West Bank settlement rabbis and other religious leaders. They were later joined by one of the two Chief Rabbis (the Sephardic one)."
