G-d commands Israel to establish cities of refuge for those who have accidentally murdered their fellow without malice or forethought. However, providing weapons to sworn enemies for the sake of "peace" cannot be considered unintentional manslaughter, but murder. Shoftim (Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9) Parashat Shoftim is read on Shabbat: Elul 6, 5768/September 6, 2008 http://www.templeinstitute.org/
