=Judaism = anti-violence, peace=

Judaism and religious Jews oppose violence
Jewish law (past and present) does not permit any use of violence unless it is in self defense. Any person that even raises his hand in order to hit a nother person is called "evil." , within the context of Zionism, some diasagree with linking it.

Though Judaism and Christianity, both are rooted in the Bible. Some of text are not literal, for example, "An eye for an eye", in Judaism it is in no way literal, as explained in the Talmud it refers to monetary compensation only. Indeed, in refusing the oral tradition of the Talmud and insisting on a literal interpretation of the old testament of the Bible, the Karaites were blunt in their interpretation and strict legists: 'an eye for an eye' meant really 'an eye for an eye'.

Guidelines from the Torah to the 'Jewish Way to Fight a War': When the time for war has arrived, Jewish soldiers are expected to abide by specific laws and values when fighting. Jewish war ethics attempts to balance the value of maintaining human life with the necessity of fighting a war. Judaism is somewhat unique in that it demands adherence to Jewish values even while fighting a war. The Torah provides the following rules for how to fight a war. Pursue Peace Before Waging War. Preserve the Ecological Needs of the Environment. Maintain Sensitivity to Human Life. The Goal is Peace

The ancient orders (like those) of wars for Israel to eradicate idol worshipping does not apply today. Jews are not taught to glorify violence. The rabbis of the Talmud saw war as an avoidable evil. They tought, 'Thew sword comes to the world because of delay of justice and through perversion of justice.'Jews have always hated war and Shalom expresses the hope for peace, in Judaism war is eveil, but at times a necessary one, yet, Judaism teaches that one has to go to great length to avoid it.

Foundation of Arab-Israeli conflict: Secular Zionists and Islamic leadership in Palestine
The middle east conflict, which began in the 1920s, is rooted in the two sides, on one hand, the Arab Muslim leader of Palestine, the former Mufti, Haj Amin Al-Husseini and on the other, the non religious Zionists leadership between the 1920s-1940's. Secular Zionists were adamantly opposed to peace negotiation by religious Jews, Hagana's Abraham Tehomi)  assassinated the ultra religious Haredi close confidant of chief Rabbi of Jerusalem Rabbi Y. Chayim Zonnenfeld, Rabbi Dr. Jacob Israël de Haan (on a Sabbath, as he walked out of the synagogue) who began negotiating peace with Arab leaders.

Why most Haredim (ultra ultra-orthodox) do not serve in Israel's army 1) According to Talmudic teaching, the very fact of taking someone's life, even when justly doing so, it effects, nevertheless the person, as the Talmud regards even a justly court that did order (in ancient times) the death penalty justifiably, that particluar court at that time was labeled "killer court" in shame. and even King David, regarded of the most piuos righteous persons, (and his wars were within God's permission or/and orders) was denied building the Temple, the Talmud explaines that when king David asked "Why can I not build the Bais Hamikdash?" God's answer was: "Your hands have spilt blood (in all your many wars)."

Settlers - radical Zionists
The mianstream Jewish view concludes that "Rabin's assassin had no Halachic basis to shoot Prime Minister Rabin."
