Posted on August 24, 2014 by Rabbi Manis Friedman

A. Morality is meant to save lives and bring peace. One does not die for ones morality – Self sacrifice should be reserved for religious issues.

B. Morality should make you stronger not weaker, it should work for you not against you.

C. The only excuse for war is self defense, the only purpose of war is peace.

D. Morality that is nice on the surface but ends in death is not morality at all.

E. We cannot control our enemies misbehavior, but we may not contribute to it.

F. Self defense is a moral obligation not a right.

G. Peace comes not for the love of peace but from the dread of war.

H. Self defense means: to do whatever it takes to insure the safety of your people.

I. The west fights every war with one hand tied behind their back, nice sentiment but not morally correct.

The moral form of war is :

A war fought to conclusion not to a stand still.

A war fought to a quick victory so the country can go back to normal life.

A war that brings at least forty years of peace.
