Normative Judaism is not pacifist, though violence is only permissible in the service of self-defense. While some biblical texts call for and justify offensive war and have had deep impact in Western culture, these texts have been repudiated by mainstream Jewish tradition. However, some strains of radical Zionism promote aggressive war and justify them with biblical texts. Contemporary warfare conducted by the State of Israel is governed by Israeli law and regulation, which includes a Purity of arms code that is based in part on Jewish tradition. Tension between the conduct of the Israeli government and Jewish traditions and halakha on the conduct of war have caused controversy within Israel and have provided a basis for criticisms of Israel. ==Views of violence in Judaism== Judaism's doctrines and texts have sometimes been associated with violence. Laws requiring the eradication of evil, sometimes using violent means, exist in the Jewish tradition. Judaism also contains peaceful doctrines.〔〔Reuven Firestone (2004), "Judaism on Violence and Reconciliation: An examination of key sources" in ''Beyond violence: religious sources of social transformation in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam'', Fordham Univ Press, 2004, pp 77, 81.〕〔 〕 Attitudes and laws towards both peace and violence exist within the Jewish tradition.〔 Throughout history, Judaism's religious texts or precepts have been used to promote〔Carl. S. Ehrlich (1999) "Joshua, Judaism, and Genocide", in ''Jewish Studies at the Turn of the Twentieth Century'', Judit Targarona Borrás, Ángel Sáenz-Badillos (Eds). 1999, Brill.〕 as well as oppose violence.〔The Columbus Platform: The Guiding Principles of Reform Judaism, 1937〕 Normative Judaism is not pacifist and violence is permissible in the service of self-defense.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wcc-coe.org/wcc/what/interreligious/cd39-07.html )〕 J. Patout Burns asserts that Jewish tradition clearly posits the principle of minimization of violence. This principle can be stated as "(wherever) Jewish law allows violence to keep an evil from occurring, it mandates that the minimal amount of violence be used to accomplish one's goal."〔http://www.koltorah.org/ravj/14-10%20The%20Halacha%20of%20Rodef%20and%20the%20Rabin%20Shooting.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Judaism and warfare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
