Religious passion can lead to fanaticism. Instead of each side denigrating the other, the ideal is for both to work together to exercise balance."sshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463216380054384880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-70957117343629542702010-05-30T04:12:59.855-04:002010-05-30T04:12:59.855-04:00Leila, first, penultimate means the paragraph befo...Leila, first, penultimate means the paragraph before the last one. Since there were two separate posts by Rav jeremy, I presume you mean the "second".<br /><br />As for a "Jewish problem" it being - well, there we have an Arab problem: the unwillingness to admit the Arab side a) did wrong; b) goofed; c) refuses to correct; d) continues to do wrong; f) all of the above.YMedadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333122797414935958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-77829739123179658922010-05-29T23:33:58.314-04:002010-05-29T23:33:58.314-04:00Leila!

It's the rest who have lower standards claiming they are morally right that I object to! The sad fact is that warfare is also waged nowadays through the media and decisions in politics and commerce are based on numbers and we are so few! Not to mention Israels disastrous PR. But others set the agenda regardless.<br />Shabbat Shalom,<br />JeremyRabbi Jeremy Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723608669485173271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141014.post-43990922618096689652010-05-28T01:27:15.977-04:002010-05-28T01:27:15.977-04:00Is there not a "peace extremism", when J...Is there not a "peace extremism", when Jews too concerned for themselves in the Western world, their status, their roles, their money, their recognition as cultural elites is threatened turn on Israel as the stumbling-block to their standing and success? In Israel we have a Shlomo Sand and his theories in the UK a Jacquline Rose, in the US a Tony Judt and the many more. They elevate "peace" to an impossible standard which no other country or society has ever or will ever adopt but: Jews are different. Even to the negative aspect.YMedadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333122797414935958noreply@blogger.com
