The ancient song of hatred

Posted by Rabbi Marvin Hier

Much has already been written on Mearsheimer and Walt's The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy but, last week, when they took their road show to MIT, they made it very clear that Israel is to blame for 9/11 - that without Bin Laden's hatred of what Israel is doing to the Palestinians - there never would have been a 9/11. 

As Mearsheimer told his audience, "A critically important issue when talking about America's terrorism problem is the matter of how US support for Israel's brutal treatment of the Palestinians relates to what happened on September 11." He then went on to say that now that the Cold War is over Israel is no longer a strategic asset to America. In other words - if we end our support of Israel, America will be safer and the terrorists will pick other targets - the only obstacle to achieving that is the Jewish lobby and its stranglehold on policy-making in Washington.

Zechariah 12:2-3 states all nations messing with Jerusalem will be cut to pieces. November 27, 2007 Israel was stabbed in the back. Saudis presented the "Right of Return" terrorist plan to kill 6,000,000 Jews. Next day the German pope endorses the terrorist "Right to Return" plan. God's wrath will strike the anti-Semites. Build up your defenses like Joel 2:9 says. Make sure the terrorists can't get in your windows. War with Iran is on the horizon. Follow the words of your prophets so you will be safe!

The longer I live, the more I can see why G-d loves the Children of Israel.

As Christianity is snuffed out in the United States, Israel will become more and more isolated in the world. From ages past, the Almighty saw where this world came from and where it would end.

Make no doubt, the Jews carry inside their chest the image that most closely resembles the Creator Himself.
