The Jewish people have what is called the Law of the Din Rodef, which allows a person to kill someone that they believe will kill another or violate a woman or child, this is where we get our self defense and the defense of others laws. The Law of the Din Rodef was employed by Yigel Amir when he assassinated Yitzak Rabin in November of 1995, Amir believed that Rabin's peace agreement was going to cost Israeli lives.
