Shalom...
"But of the cities of these peoples which Yahweh (the self Existent or eternal, He that exist for He causes all things to exist) your Elohim (a plural unity like family, flock, or herd; a family of mighty beings; Yahweh being the name of this family) is giving to you as an inheritance, you shall not keep alive any that breathes. But you shall utterly destroy them, the Hittites (an aboriginal Canaanite), and the Amorites (mountaineers), the Canaanites (inhabitant of Kenaan; by implication a peddler [the Canaanites standing for their neighbors the Ishmaelites, who conducted mercantile caravans]), and the Perizzites (inhabitant of the open country, one of the Canaanitish tribes), the Hivites (one of the aboriginal tribes of Palestine), and the Jebusites (from Jebus the aboriginal name of Jerusalem; meaning it's inhabitants), as Yahweh your Elohim has commanded you; so that they may not teach you to do according to all their filthy deeds which they have done for their elohim; and you would sin against Yahweh your Elohim. When you shall lay siege to a city many days, to fight against it, to capture it, you shall not destroy its trees in order to force an axe against them. For you shall eat of them, and you shall not cut them down; for is the tree of the field a man, that it should be used by you to lay siege? Only the tree which you know not to be a fruit tree, you may destroy it, and may cut it down, and may build a bulwark against the city making war with you, until you have subdued it." - Deuteronomy 20:16-20
The only way to defeat, really defeat, your enemy is to kill them, kill them all to the last man, woman, and child! It seems as though the U.S. Military could learn a thing or two from this (i.e. Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.)! However, I guess all the emotional peoples of this country and others would not like that, but I guarantee no one would mess with us!
If I were an uninformed religious fanatic, I mean nut, I may interpret this to mean I need to get a rife, park a vehicle in a covert location, and shoot them; build a remotely detonated improvised explosive device, place it where they will go, and detonate it; or, if I was really, really demented, disturbed, or a few cards short of a full deck build a bomb with various types of shrapnel, strap it to myself, go to the location they are and detonate, killing both myself and them! But, I am not a religious fanatic, I do not want to go to prison, and I do not want to kill myself! Nor am I a government with a military force and the authority to keep my country safe!
I choose life! Therefore, we must understand that I must make them dead in reference to the situation...meaning privacy fence! And if they are offended by my need for privacy then the problem is within them and not me, for everyone desires privacy! That will cut off their view and eliminate the problem completely, although they will complain about it, but who cares...definitely not me!
There is always a way out other than committing a crime or any thing that could be considered completely and utterly foolish or offensive for the individual, although for a leader of a country utterly destroying my countries enemy is the only true means to obtain safety for my people.
You see, you can resolve any situation without getting foolish or doing something that will cause you to commit a crime.
Be informed and choose life!
Shalom!
