| Jan 14 at 19:44 | comment | added | Deuteronomy | דין הערבים בעזה הוא כדין עמלק וצריכים לקיים בהם מצוות מחיית עמלק, שהרי הם כתבו באמנת החמאס להשמיד כל יהודי, ומעשיהם בשמחת תורה, רציחת תינוקות וילדים באכזריות והשמדת כל יהודי שנקרה בדרכם, לימדו שהם שונאי ישראל. על כן יש מצווה להילחם בהם מלחמת חורמה ואסור לנהל איתם שום משא ומתן של שלום. הם הרשעה בהתגלמותה ואין השם שלם ואין הכיסא שלם עד שיימחה שמם ורשעתם מן העולם. yeshiva.org.il/midrash/52638 | |

| Oct 11, 2023 at 16:05 | comment | added | Rabbi Kaii | @MosesSupposes basic reading of Rambam would seem to imply that, but I have not delved deep into it. If you ask as a separate question, that might inspire me to do so, or rouse someone who knows to answer :) Just like we learn the halachos of yom tov during a yom tov, we might consider it relevant to study the halachos of war during war? | |
| Oct 11, 2023 at 16:04 | comment | added | Moses Supposes | @RabbiKaii do we need a king to declare a defensive war? | |
| Oct 11, 2023 at 15:45 | comment | added | Rabbi Kaii | @MosesSupposes perhaps that would be a good separate question. I think if we had a king it would be | |
