Well, you may know that basic Western law (British & American, anyway) is based on the Torah - yes, whether you like it or not - and the TEN COMMANDMENTS - believe in them or not, as you wish - ALL translate to SHALL (not will), as in "Thou shall have no other gods before me" and "Thou shall not murder" (it's not kill, but murder... an important distinction), etc. etc.
So perhaps, after all, SHALL is the stronger of the two?
Shoshannah
Of course, Israeli law is basically the Torah, though we do use some concepts from British & American modern law and some Jordanian (from 1948-1967, but not the Islamic laws that require body dismemberment for crimes committed) and even some Ottoman laws still apply in some cases.
