Question

Yitzhak Rabin’s assassin, Yigal Amir, controversially justified his killing by invoking a Jewish law against these people. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this type of person who must be stopped at all costs according to Jewish law. Far-right Israelis have controversially claimed that Palestinians who voted for Hamas can be treated as these people.

ANSWER: rodef (“ro-DEFF”) [or pursuer; accept din rodef or law of the pursuer]

[10e] Description acceptable. The law of the pursuer in the Babylonian Talmud does not protect people who commit this crime of violating the first Commandment. This sin, called avodah zarah (“ah-vo-DAH za-RAH”), was committed by worshippers of the golden calf.

ANSWER: idolatry [or idol worship; accept any answer indicating not worshipping the God of the Bible or God of the Old Testament or Yahweh or God of Judaism; accept polytheism; accept strange worship; accept paganism or heathenism; prompt on Gentiles or non-Jews]

[10m] Laws against pursuers and idolaters feature in this body of Jewish law, which is mostly sourced from the Babylonian Talmud.

ANSWER: halakha [accept Shulchan Aruch]
