Parashat PinchasPinchas killed an Israelite man and Moabite woman because their flagrant immorality profaned God's name. The Torah seems to approve of Pinchas's extreme act; some modern as well as ancient commentators follow suit. Thus Hirsch, for example: "Anyone who wages war on the enemies of what is good and true is a champion of the Covenant of Peace on earth even while engaged in war." The Hatam Sofer praises Pinchas for showing the same zeal and energy to do right that the sinning Israelites displayed in doing wrong. Taken from Etz Hayim Torah and Commentary
