Another death fatwa for the war?
I don't know if MEMRI has translated this one yet.
Ed. Note: To preserve for the record, the item in all its glory:
Yesha Rabbinical Council: During time of war, enemy has no innocentsThe Yesha Rabbinical Council announced in response to an IDF attack in Kfar Qanna that "according to Jewish law, during a time of battle and war, there is no such term as 'innocents' of the enemy."
All of the discussions on Christian morality are weakening the spirit of the army and the nation and are costing us in the blood of our soldiers and civilians," the statement said. (Efrat Weiss)

Fui! What kind of a rabbi would say such a thing?

I think a bit of perspective is necessary here.
