A just war? That’s just not Jewish

[ukhudshanskiy]

Peter Jenkins, Britain’s former representative on the International Atomic Energy Agency, has told the debating union at Warwick University that a just war is not a Jewish notion.

In a video released this week, the retired Foreign Office diplomat, speaking in a recent debate on nuclear proliferation in Iran, said: “Israelis don’t practise an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, they practise ten eyes for an eye and ten teeth for a tooth.
“The idea that a just war requires the use of force to be proportionate seems to be a Christian notion and not a Jewish notion.”
