Pursued by law enforcement

שו”תPursued by law enforcement
asked 3 weeks ago

Is it permissible to fight a representative of the law when I know and am certain (as is all I know in life) that he was sent for reasons of hatred and anti-Semitism, even to the point of killing him in order to be saved from him? For example, I am a black Negro and he is light-skinned and bleached white.

A general and undefined question. What is the nature of the government? What decision is this? What are the alternatives to taking action and complaining?

I gave an example of whites and whites in America at the time, but that's not necessarily the case. Let's try a different example now and go into more detail. Let's say I'm in a country where the government's attitude towards Jews is abysmal hatred of Jews, like in Nazi Germany, and supposedly in the name of the law, they can send you a government representative to arrest you on various and strange pretexts, which you know is the basis of all this harassment is hatred and anti-Semitism. (Even though they will excuse it and embellish it with all kinds of laws without knowing it, and no one will admit that the basis is hatred. This is clear from their actions, but you know the truth that the law is not the basis of their harassment, but the hatred of you as a Jew.) And I have the power and ability to remove the representative from you by using physical force, and if necessary, even break all his bones without being discovered, and I have no fear of my superiors. Is it permissible to do anything to him, like with any persecutor who persecutes you? In other words, the fact that he is sure that he is following the law and does not understand that he is being used as a useful layman with a long stick is none of my business. Even a fetus who endangers his mother is not guilty.

Sure. What's the question?!

In your opinion, only considerations of hatred and anti-Semitism lead to the conclusion that you are obligated to enlist? And if an average secular person thinks that only considerations of a coalition and a prime minister exempt you from enlistment, would you agree that he would forcibly enlist you for three years on his own accord? To me, you seem like the most foolish of fools.

As for Andrei's argument, yes, I would agree that this is what he should do according to his method, but if I had the power, I would kill the soldier, as I explained in the question. Everything here is a matter of "all men are equal" and I speak in a way that my power is more violent than his. Is this permissible and the rabbi ruled that it is clearly permissible (if I truly came to the conscious conclusion that this is indeed the case and I examined myself to see what brings me to this conclusion, like any other logical conclusion I have in life)
