Rabbis for war

Meanwhile religious fanaticism is more associated with Islamic groups, there is a large movement of biblical justification of Israel expansion and human right violations. Not only is the entire "Greater Israel" God-given to the Jews, the means are sanctified by the aim: The 1982 invasion of Lebanon justify the "opening of the war", the Palestinian are "a plague already written in the Bible", it is forbidden to abandon even the tiniest part to a Goi (stranger).
There can be no compromises, no peace treaties, no negotiations with "the people who inhabit the land". "You shall destroy them, you shall enter into no covenant with them, you shall not pity them, you shall not intermarry with them" the divine law dictates.
