This is one of the tools they may attempt to use to bolster their Peace Industry and promote tolerance of the other in their midst but that doesn't make it believed .
The national will and culture has been eroded. This started with PM Begin but accelerated by the Oslo terror. We need more Chaim's, agree 100%
Glad you're understanding me and not getting mad. I know as a Gentile this technically isn't my business but I have read and seen enough to know this is a problem.
I certainly don't believe that all, or most, professing Christians have been friends of the Jews, or fail to acknowledge that there was once an era where Muslims were somewhat less anti-Semitic than professing Christians, but for crying out loud, Tovia Singer and these other useful fools need to wake up and smell the jihad. To my understanding, other than the late HaRav Kahane and the Vilna Gaon that he based most of his theology on, very few rabbis or religious Jewish theologians have ever come out to declare that Arabs and Muslims are Amalek/Canaan/Nazis (fill in the blank) and are a total mortal threat. Some have done quite the opposite. Look at the ROYs of the world. It's not Israeli leftists that Ovadia Yosef and Aryeh Deri are influencing, it's "people like us". Their followers are against abortion, gay marriage, etc.
Of course, the left is using these phony-right religious figures to keep frum Israelis and Jews in general in the dark. That's undeniable. But sooner or later, "our side" needs to stand up and call them out and refute them. I am obviously no Torah Scholar but I know the (Christian) Tanach, and to me it is very clear what G-d orders done to the Nazis of the world in it.
I don't know what went on in the RamBam's head and I realize the Jewish definition of "idolatry" is different from the Christian one, but to me, it is an open and shut case. Yeah, sure, Muslims believe in one deity and Allah has some traits stolen from the Jewish G-d. I get that. But, Allah is still a false god because his character, reasoning, and the vast majority of his attributes come right out of pagan Fertile Crescent Amalekite paganism. That is exactly where jihad and the whole concept of Islamic martyrdom come from. Muslims pray to a large stone and some of them (Shiites) have rituals where they cut themselves and their children up to call upon and honor Allah. How is that not straight out of Baal worship?
