I'm not feeling to perky over here today. Things have gone from unbearable to more unbearable in Israel.
Funny, I hear lots of people talking, who think they have the answers.
Every one of them is a fool.
If I hear 'cycle of violence' one more time, I think I will come existentionally unhinged.
It is a fact of life that is totally incomprehensible to me, that Israel is held to a different standard than any other country on the face of the Earth. The whole world expects them to tolerate the intollerable. And it shames me to the core that the United States is in that same camp. Even though we are the cream of the crop of supporters of Israel, our government still preaches 'restraint'.
I am afraid that restraint is not going to cut it anymore against people far and wide who teach their little, little children to desire death. Mothers talk about wanting to bear children who will die taking as many infidels with them as possible. This is worse than the worship of the ancient idol, Molach where people threw their children against a rock and then into a fire. This modern 'cult of death' would make the worshippers of Molach look away in horror.
Yes, yes, what we need to combat this kind of mentality is. . . restraint.
I can't think of a word bad enough to express how this angers me.
My consolation,-- though it may tarry, still I wait for it -- is a small verse in Zechariah 2:12.... "He who touches you, touches the apple of his* eye."
*(There is a long discussion in Rabbinic literature that though this word is written 'his' it actually means 'My'. But was written the other way as a euphamism out of respect to God.)
