ed note–as always, lots of ‘must knows’ that every war-weary Gentile with a vested interest in his/her own future survival needs to understand about all of this.
Firsto, ladies and Gentile-men, understand the following unchanging ‘protocol’, which is that the Jews are liars every bit as much as water is wet and fire is hot. An addendum to this ‘protocol’ is that some of them are very clever liars, and some of them are not-so-clever.
As best as we can surmise, the deceptive Jew writing the piece below is somewhere in the middle. He knows exactly what his ‘true Judah-ism’ teaches about not only Jesus Christ, but as well, ALL Gentile religions, and therefore, his assertion that the behavior of the IDF primates who smashed the statue in Lebanon is a ‘violation’ of Torah Judah-ism’s intolerance for other faiths must be seen for the obvious lie that it is.
But more importantly, what the Gentile reader should take away from all of this is exactly WHAT it is that is causing our clever/not-so-clever Hebraic writer the mental indigestion wafting off of his piece, which are the political ramifications associated with what recently took place in Lebanon.
As the reader will see, what has him ‘hot & bothered’ is not the inherent immorality of what the 2 Jews did to the statue, but rather, how it will reflect negatively upon Israel, and particularly to the 2 billion Christians and 2 billion Muslims who revere and honor Jesus Christ and who DO NOT adhere to the notion that Jesus was a sorcerer and sex freak as ‘true’ Judah-ism teaches.
Notice as well the tried-and-true Judaic tactic of ‘let’s change the subject’…
What began with discussing barbaric Jewish religious behavior vis the smashing of the statue of Jesus, which Judah-ism CLEARLY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY COMMANDS BE DONE, TO WIT–
‘When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are to possess and drives out the many nations larger and stronger than you, and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. Do not save alive anything that breathes…Do not intermarry with them…Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons…Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and burn their idols in the fire, for you are a people holy to the Lord your God who has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession…’ –Book of Deuteronomy
–suddenly morphed into barbaric Muslim and barbaric Christian behavior of the past, rather than the barbaric Jewish behavior of the present.
And, finalmente, fellow war-weary Gentiles, the deceptive Jew’s referencing of the book of Isaiah and how in the latter days (after the Jews have conquered the world and imposed the ‘protocols’ of their long-planned-for Jewish World Domination) everything will be peaches and cream, sugar & spice & everything nice, with ‘swords being beaten into plowshares and–
YADA, YADA, YADA…
–while conveniently leaving out that ‘other part’ of Isaiah which paints an entirely different picture of the future altogether, to wit–
‘For the nation or people which will not bow down and serve you shall perish, they shall be utterly destroyed… Book of Isaiah
Amotz Asa-El for Jpost
It took one metallic sledgehammer, one narrow mind, and one smartphone’s shocking photo to display the gravity of the problem that we Jews have come to face.
The photo that showed a soldier axing a Jesus statue in southern Lebanon was appalling enough – religiously and politically – but even more mind-boggling was the villain’s frivolous attitude, which was to post it on social media for the whole world to see.
The world indeed saw, and lost no time responding with intercontinental rebuke. Fortunately, the IDF summarily court-martialed the culprit and his photographer, sending them to a military prison and removing them from future combat service. Unfortunately, what they did represents a syndrome much larger than the two young idiots they obviously are.
And that syndrome is the very one with which Israel’s enemies are plagued. It’s called fundamentalism, and its bearers share ignorance of the outer world, impatience with history’s course, and an inability to tolerate the existence of other faiths.
The fundamentalist scourge first reared its head in 2001
This fundamentalist scourge was displayed in all its ugliness and brutality in 2001, when the Taliban had Afghanistan’s Buddha statues hammered, axed, and dynamited.
‘These idols have been gods of the infidels,’ said the iconoclasts’ leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar, referring to any Buddhist statue, but most famously to a pair of monuments taller than a 12-story building, carved into a sandstone cliff some 150 km. west of Kabul.
Like all things fundamentalist, this atrocity was not about whim. It was about faith. Islam’s founders destroyed hundreds of idols when they conquered Mecca, they said, and therefore we must do the same.
Non-fundamentalists say that what was done centuries ago in entirely different settings does not necessarily apply today, but fundamentalists disagree. To them, change is blasphemy. Restoring ‘fundamentals’ and ignoring history’s progress is what they are all about. That’s their attitude toward the past, and also toward the future.
And since the future, as they see it, will be all about their triumph over the rest of humankind, all others must bow, and since progress is anathema, change is a threat, and history is an aberration, they had better bow down now.
This is fundamentalism, regardless of its religious stripe. Early Christians were also once in the business of smashing images – that’s how the term iconoclasm came into being – as were early Protestants, who broke into Catholic churches and did there what just two Jews did recently in Lebanon.
Fundamentalists can’t get this kind of interfaith harmony because they don’t look outside the narrow, deep, and opaque trench in which they spend their days. To them, the outer world is barbarian, and otherness is a crime.
And in Israel, fundamentalist ignorance has become in recent years a strategic threat.
When Israel’s finance minister exhibits his lack of spoken English, as Bezalel Smotrich did in a public speech, and when National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, in a taped quarrel with a foreign worker, can’t utter even an eight-word English sentence, millions are embarrassed.
Yes, such provinciality can be dismissed as anecdotal. That cannot be said of this duo’s misunderstanding of the big world with which they are evidently unfamiliar.
That is how Smotrich, as finance minister, can say of Wall Street’s rating agencies, after they downgraded Israel’s rating, that they are politically motivated. And when the finance minister does not understand how Wall Street works, he also does not understand what he does to Israel’s international position by sending violent fundamentalists to the West Bank.
At this writing, the identity of the iconoclasts who smashed the Lebanese statue is not known. Theoretically, they may have never visited a synagogue, studied in a yeshiva, or spent one day in a West Bank settlement.
Yet even in this unlikely event, the fact is that thousands of Israelis do follow fundamentalist rabbis who feed them with triumphalism, hatred, and messianic zeal. And these people know precious little about the outer world in general, and in particular about Christianity.
Lebanon’s Christians are on our side
The small thing of which this week’s two-cent crusaders were obviously unaware is that Lebanon’s Christians are on our side, and that Christianity, led in this by the Vatican but joined by most other denominations, has long abandoned its forebears’ antisemitism and cultivated a historic dialogue with the Jewish faith.
This dialogue is part of what the Zionist dream was all about. It was never about domineering over other faiths, rivaling other nations, or fighting other states. For that, we could have stayed in the shtetl and in the ghetto. The dream was to join humankind, not as superiors, but as equals. That’s what ancient Judea’s zealots didn’t get when they canceled the Temple’s daily sacrifice in honor of Rome, and thus ignited Jerusalem’s destruction and Judea’s grand defeat.
Not only was universal harmony part of the Zionist quest, it was also part of the prophetic vision.
That is why Isaiah, when he imagined the days to come, when the House of God will ‘stand firm’ and ‘tower above the hills’ – he saw it drawing not only Jews, but ‘all the nations.’ (Isaiah 2:2) And on that day, when ‘many peoples’ will ‘go up to the Mountain of God’ – they will no longer impose themselves on one another, because ‘nation shall not take up sword against nation,’ and ‘they shall never again know war.’
The lies in this article are as obvious as that of the rebbe who stated the Talmud speaks of “a different Jesus”. The Jews immediately knew who these 2 IDF guys are and whether they’ve been to synagogue or yeshiva. Not that those would be factors as to their guilt. No matter the circumstances, they skillfully up-end them in order to play act as the victims. These 2 schmucks are a temporary inconvenience, easily explained away with the usual wordsmithing. Privately, they’re being hailed as ‘good’ Torah Jews and being told to lay low for a few months. They’ll walk in the front door of the jail and out the back door. And possibly be under house arrest for a time.
As for Lebanese Christians being “on the side” of The Jews as they’re being bombed; this statement indicates the outright insanity and chutzpah of these creatures.
The last paragraph gives the game away. They’re plowing ahead with a one world gov’t & religion. “Universal harmony” to The Jews is defined as “Having no opposition” and the two IDF creatures involved in this desecration are making thing more difficult for the goals of The Jews to be attained.
