It is pathetic and disgusting if the Rabbi incited his military men to kill civilians.
However one must remember that MODERN military targets are defined by the army command, and not the priests.
In other words, the bombs dropped by planes, or shells fired by guns are based on specific coordinates. And these coordinates are supplied by the field commanders.
Modern wars are cruel and inhumane by the very nature of weapons used today. Old day swords, arrows, and lances had a maximum effective range of few hundred yards. Unfortunately that is not the case anymore.
Thus it is imperative on all thinking human beings to not start or invite a modern war.
Coming back to the topic, the only full quote given in the article is:
**
"When you show mercy to a cruel enemy you are being cruel to pure and honest soldiers. These are not games at the amusement park where sportsmanship teaches one to make concessions. This is a war on murderers,**
This is lot less severe than what Jamatud Dawa told the Bombay terrorists.
