A Jewish Confusion


Warmongering Jews use McCarthyite tactics that advance the
notion that the Holocaust was ‘God’s Will’ for the Jews. They believe that all
Israelis must die to usher in the End of Days [the death of mankind and the
coming of the Messiah].

UPDATE IV: One of the points which the Haaretz Editorial made in opposing the exclusion of Finkelstein is that right-wing
Jewish-American extremists who, unlike Finkelstein, do pose a real security
threat, are regularly allowed entry into Israel: "the decision is all the
more surprising when one recalls the ease with which right-wing activists from
the Meir Kahane camp -- the kind whose activities pose a security threat that
no longer requires further proof -- are able to enter the country."
At Open Left, Paul Rosenberg examines an analogous inequity: while even
the mildest critics of Israel
on the Left are routinely demonized by neocons as "anti-Israeli" or
"anti-Semitic," truly extreme hatemongers on the Right -- such as
John Hagee -- are not only tolerated but embraced. Thus, Joe Lieberman, who previously
compared Hagee to "Moses"
in the midst of bathing Hagee with
lavish praise, still refuses to repudiate Hagee or cancel his scheduled
appearance at a Hagee event even in the wake of Hagee's comments that Hitler
and the Holocaust were "God's will" to drive Jews back to Israel. Few
things are more destructive than those like Lieberman who transparently exploit
"anti-Israel" and "anti-Semitism" accusations to silence
debate and for their own political gain.”

I'm afraid you've got your blinders on. You cannot make a fact go away simply by denying that it exists. The prophets may have been about warning the people but they were just as much about explaining God's rationale in the aftermath of disaster. Can you deny that if an O.T. style Jewish prophet existed today he might have explained the holocaust in the same terms as Hagee did?

I'm not buying into your "shock" at Hagee and his type. If you're half the Jew you claim to be it would be impossible for you to overlook that
Hagee is following the traditions of the most esteemed Jewish prophets. Anywhere in the O.T. that disaster befalls Israel the priests/prophets (the Hagees of their day) attributed it either to "God's righteous anger" or to its being part of God's divine plan for His people. I call this sort of blather "post prophecy" and it's as common as Sunday. All Christian clergymen indulge in it - it is an inheritence from Judaism itself.
