TJ we differ on this issue. The key to our differences is humans no matter the ethnicity should have a code of conduct summarized in laws including in wars.

A predators animal - we human call them beasts - hunt and kill for food not for ego or hate or fun. Yes it is true they fight in certain species so that the stronger male takes over the pride - but this is the natural law of keeping the species healthy.

Elephants do not have fights as far as I know and the females are the actual leaders of the pack. They hsve brains and feelings, and morn the dead as do Gorillas and other animals of their kind, including dogs or wolfs and the list is long.

My point is simple humans have a more complicated social structure and therefore they decided to have more complex set of laws which if you cross the line you are punished. Unfortunate laws are not strictly observed and highly "malleable" or "twisted" by various names and interpretations. - Those norms must stop IMHO.

I can give you many examples from the Hebrew Bible where laws where written to establish a nation out of illiterate slaves.

As an example those slaves could not resist the inclination to build a golden calf and worship him and dance around him when their leader (Mosses) isolated himself on the high mountains to write the 10 commandments, ( en.wikipedia.org ) which took him few weeks, as he wanted to write down in stone the basic parts of conduct to the new nation.(read it all there are more wisdom interpretations in the article)

Those laws supposedly written long ago are actually valid to this day, are universal laws adopted by many countries/nations if partially or in their integrity.

The Bible contains many laws which define us as humans (1) or are not observed, and only few are unpractical for today but adopted by most nations countries - the day of rest once in 7 days - I know it was ignored until the 20th century in many countries including China as an example.

That is my whole point on this long and elaborate discussion.

(1) is the law that orders not to cook the calf meat in his mother milk - I think it is a very important law from the aspect of being human. - The interpretation of course went overboard and quite stringent in some communities - but the principle is easy to understand.

You do not kill a calf in front of his mother cow and cook it in her milk - that is respect to a living creature you benefit from and does have a brain and feelings.

Of course humans also found ways around this law by taking the calf early on after he is born, grown separately and then sent to slaughter and served to you as veal meat schnitzel (cutlet). Examples abound of ignoring the principle of this law.
