Burn the book! But only after we all have it in our libraries.

A prominent rabbi of the Iranian Jewish community has urged his
congregation to burn 'The King's Torah', a controversial book, which
supports the murder of non-Jews.
In his recently released book, Rabbi Yitzhak Shapiro, who heads the Od
Yosef Chai Yeshiva (religious school) in the occupied West Bank,
endorses the murder of non-Jews -- even babies and children -- if they
pose an actual or potential threat to Israel.
The book, co-authored by Yossi Elitzur, states that Jews are allowed
to kill "those who, by speech, weaken our sovereignty", adding that it
is permissible "to kill the Righteous among Nations even if they are
not responsible for the threatening situation."
The decree is backed by several Israeli rabbis including Yitzhak
Ginsburg and Yaakov Yosef.
Shapiro claims that the Torah and Talmud fully justify his edict.
The Iranian rabbi, however, said on Monday that the book's message, in
fact, directly contradicted the teachings of Moses. Rabbi
Golestaninejad said the book was not based on the tenets of the Jewish
faith.
One of the Ten Commandments in Exodus states "Thou shalt not murder."
In the Book of Genesis, as well, murder is forbidden and it is
stipulated that anyone who spills blood, must pay for his deed with
the spilling of his own blood, said the rabbi, who called the edict a
blatant distortion of religious teachings.
Golestaninejad said the word 'rabbi' means 'wise', so it is very
unlikely that a wise person, who is responsible for teaching religion,
would condone the murder of persons of other beliefs.
Anyone who utters anything in opposition to the faith, and then goes
on to falsely attribute it to the Torah, Mishnah, Talmud or Halakha
deserves punishment and chastisement, he said, adding that the idea
behind the verdict is absolutely false.
Jews are followers of Moses. Hence, they do not adhere to Zionism and
the ideas of Theodor Herzl, the father of modern political Zionism,
the rabbi said.
Rabbi Golestaninejad condemned the publication of 'The King's Torah'
and called on all Jews to burn the book which he said propagates non-
religious ideas.

Are you really talking about burning people because they are trash in
soc.culture.jewish & soc.culture.israel?
But then again, why not? After all, the Israelis have been behaving like
Nazis for quite some time now so maybe burning people is the logical next
step.
