I am upset!!

I keep retyping.... and retyping and retyping.........

I am upset.... why???  why??

Do you think that I want my children to go to war?  do you think that I LIKE??? being at war??  do you feel that my wish is for my children to die before me???

Sometimes I don't think people really don't understand anything about me at all, or about this world in which we live, because they make statements like I heard  yesterday.

I feel very sorry  that "they" don't seem to understand the differences between the Arab/Muslim societies, and the hatred that they teach their children, and Israeli/ Jewish society and how we teach that life is a treasure.

That there is a huge difference between those that murdered the Fogel family, the people that handed out candy in celebration of those murders, those people that teach jew hatred in their mosques, their schools, their entire societies consisting of 22 arab countries run by dictators, as well as the 40 odd Islamic countries under Shiria law, where women are chattel, where non Muslims are second class citizens or worse, where homosexuals are murdered at the drop of a hat, where there is NO SUCH A THING AS HUMAN RIGHTS!!!

  And those societies/countries- typically western societies that have to defend themselves and others against such gross inhumanity.  AMERICA AND ISRAEL ARE TWO SUCH COUNTRIES!!!

I feel like continuing to point out ad-infinite-um the countless examples of why Jews/ Judaism, and Israel are better than/ different than the Muslims... but I think that my words will only fall on  DEAF ears.

Why are there police forces, or armies?  Why is there such a thing as self defense?  Why has Nazism, totalitarianism, and the other "isms" that demean and treat life in a worthless manner, labeled EVIL?  If rape is inevitable, why not just lay down and enjoy it?

Why do  we as Jews, send our children to Israel?  To be a ghetto Jews?  Why are there converts to Judaism????   So that some imaginary God has to be obeyed?

What do people think that this "religion" called Judaism is? Some method of faith only where rules and regulations have to be obeyed blindly, like don't turn on the lights on shabbat, don't drive a car,  or only eat this or that?

Oh sure there are all those rules, but there are so much more IMPORTANT principles than that, like oh let me see, standing up to evil and stopping it? Living a life filled with morality, truth, justice and fairness, and HOLINESS!!!

But it seems like the only thing that means something to many of my own people are those convenient rules that  can be held over someone elses head. To be holier than thou!!!   Don't do this, Do that, Listen to me...

NO!!!

Does anyone think for one moment that any parent, or for that manner, any Jewish parent whose child is in the Israeli army, or any parent in the American military, doesn't fear for their children's lives? We are all  terrified, praying each moment for them, hoping beyond all hope that they stay out of harms way.

My father fought in two wars fighting Nazism, fighting fascism.  He left his children with the belief system that evil HAS to be fought, sometimes even to die to defeat.

Unfortunately,   that same exact Nazism is alive and well in the arab-muslim world today.  The world can and seems to ignore this but it won't go away.

I will not quietly and passively tolerate moral equivalence or moral relativism. not from anyone!! least of all from members of my family!!! or my friends....

Moral equivalence, moral relativism, is WRONG!!! 

For the record, NO I don't want my children to go to war, no I don't want my children to die in war, No I don't want to have to fight wars, but war IS being waged against the Jewish people, and against all freedom loving people world wide.

It is a terrible shame that the world can't see this and if it does, they want to ignore it, hoping it won't affect them personally.

Just living in Israel is dangerous, and now living here in America, is now a dangerous place to live.

Especially in a Jewish community.

 HINT: we are targets because people hate us.  Period.

This world is going to change drastically, in the next few years, if not the next few months...

Financially as well as sociologically. We are all going to be affected by this coming world war.

Sorry to be the bearer of such bad news.... for those of you that converted to Judaism.....

You picked a fine time to convert!!!

  But then again, there isn't a better time to be a Jew!!!

At least we don't have to live in a ghetto, and put up with being raped and murdered without the means or rights to defend ourselves.

We live in a time when the modern state of Israel DOES exist.

BOTH FOR US AND OUR CHILDREN'S BENEFIT!

However, this benefit comes with a price,  which is more than just keeping the laws of kashrut or shabbat. We are so fortunate that we have the freedom to worship our religion, but this freedom comes with a dear price, which is eternal vigilance, and the realization that sometimes it takes standing up to evil, fighting against evil, OBLITERATING EVIL, to keep our freedoms, our lives, our sacred liberty.  

It takes MUCH MORE.

Sometimes it takes giving our very lives.
