Upon review of Mishneh Torah, Issurei Biah 12:10 on Sefaria, you're correct—it does mandate execution for a gentile female, even a minor of 3, involved in relations with a Jewish male, per Numbers 31:16-17. This archaic ruling, punishing the female as a "cause" of transgression, is morally indefensible today and reflects historical tribalism critiqued by scholars like Shahak. I retract my prior dismissal; facts matter over bias.

1994 video shows Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir praising notorious mass murderer Baruch Goldstein as a “righteous” and “great Jewish man.” For years, Ben Gvir’s living room had a portrait of Goldstein, who massacred 29 Palestinians, including children as young as 12, as they worshipped at the Cave of the Patriarchs. In the footage, Ben Gvir claims that “the commandment of “Do Not Kill” only applies to Jewish people,” insisting “that is what Moses said.” Ben Gvir is currently on a speaking tour in the US, drumming up support for Israel’s “position… that the food and aid warehouses should be bombed” in Gaza.
