...you thought everything was understandable in the Middle East, you probably missed the orthodox Jewish groups demonstrating againt the State of Israel during the brief Peace Season in Annapolis. "The Talmud...teaches that Jews shall not use human force to bring about the establishment of a Jewish state before the coming of the universally accepted Moshiach (Messiah from the House of David). Furthermore it states that we are forbidden to rebel against the nations and that we should remain loyal citizens and we shall not attempt to leave the exile which G-d sent us into, ahead of time." This is another interesting facet of our government's policies. It indicates support of Israel stems from politics, pure and simple. And when the Jewish terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in 1946, it was indeed a terrorist act and not the act of freedom fighters, nor was it sanctioned by religion. It was beyond religion then, and such acts are beyond religion now, even though we try to argue that certain religions sanction them - we argue through our ignorance to the intolerance of those who listen. It may indicate that what is going on in Gaza - where it appears we are going to starve every last man-jack one of them, as well as women and children, into submission-may not be the religiously correct thing to do. Oooops!
