With the Palestinians and others we are doing the opposite of ‘what is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor.’
ed note-again, doubtless there will be those, and especially on the ‘left’ who will swoon over this Op Ed, written by a ‘good Jew’ who sees the utter moral insanity that is the beating heart of Israel society towards Gentiles.
Where she will stop short of course is in actually ANSWERING her own question, in a rational manner, utilizing all the raw data that has been available now for thousands of years, in understanding and explaining that the Judaic mindset (and by that we of course mean that mindset that is the inevitable by-product of Judaic teachings as enumerated within both the Torah and Talmud) CANNOT be anything other than what the world is witnessing right now as manifested in the daily brutality and barbarism that is the Jewish state itself.
We’d like to imagine that perhaps her Judaic upbringing didn’t focus too closely on the particulars of what the Torah and Talmud teach and that this best explains why she is attributing certain humanistic qualities to these two pieces of Judaic religious literature that in fact do not exist. Perhaps her parents and even teachers never explained that all those touchy-feely niceties she is quoting in her piece such as ‘love thy neighbor’ very specifically refer to how Israelites are to deal with fellow Israelites only and not to ‘the other’.
The other option however is that she knows full well what represents the real ‘meat and potatoes’ of Judaism and knows full well the answer to the rhetorical question she herself has asked, but for reasons rooted in the perennial Judaic dictum ‘by way of deception, we shall make war’ that what she is actually doing is playing games with words, ideas, and emotions in the interests of running an interference campaign in protecting the hive.
