I checked, the bounty comes to around USD $4500.

That wasn't in the article?

That was included in the original place who linked the article for me.

The link there is to a (I'd guess translated from the odd grammar) version of the original article. It doesn't include a USD amount.

I know.

But I didn't get that article directly. I got it from someone else who linked it, and they provided the conversion. I didn't realise that the conversion wasn't in the article when I read it.

I thought I read somewhere on lj that Jewish law considers human life sacred, making killing not acceptable. Nevermind the 10 commandments. Something doesn't work out here.

Ask some Palestinians about that. There's (unsurprisingly) plenty that doesn't work out about Jewish law.

Jewish law != Israeli law.

And?

I was responding to somebody who seemed to think that "life being sacred" according to Jewish law meant anything in Israel.

According to Israeli law, isn't murder illegal?

You're trying to change the terms of the argument. You're now talking about murder, which is against Israely law, sure; but the original comment was about "killing", which the laws of damned near every country on earth justify under some circumstances.

What argument? If anything, I was musing on how informed Israeli law is by Jewish law. Then, it occurred to me that analyzing why bounties on homosexuals is wrong doesn't even need to go to that extra spiritual/religious level.

That's all.
