Re: Theos-World Re: Poem from a Jew to his Palestine friend

Bart:
The only attacks against the Arabs have been in retaliation. Israel
unilaterally stopped all attacks several times, requesting that the
Palestinians respond in kind. They didn't.

"'The day to come to Jerusalem' has been their age-long prayer; but is
Freedom the fruit of a locality?
Perhaps before that day comes there will be a delving into the causes that
make for individual and racial unhappiness, and the Jewish people along with
the general trend, may find it necessary to consider their problems from a
new standpoint....
The attitude, now so deeply ingrained, that 'We are not as they' towards the
nations with whom they have lived, with the recoil upon themselves that
'They are not as we', has raised a barrier of seperatness between them and
their neighbors, preventing a wholsome association with other peoples...
There is an old saying that there is hope for a man who blames himself; and
there is hope for the Jewish people if they seek within themselves for the
causes of their suffering..."

-The Jewish Problem, by B. W. Koske, The Theosophical Path, July-Dec. 1918,
pp. 236-8

The article is introduced with a good quote from Madame Katherine Tingley:

"And this is really the keynote: the recognition of the soul in men, be they
black or white, despairing or hopeful."

For historians the timeline may be of interest. When this article appeared
in print it was just - chance or not - the very time when Jews, Freemasons
and Social Democrats made the revolution in Germany (the Jews has many spies
around the Kaiser lke chancellor Bethmann Hollweg and other high officials),
the country were the Jews have assimilated most in the last decades and were
emancipated. After the "democratic" (read: Jewish controlled, demos from
greek=people, the chosen people in J-J parlance) government was installed
this new "independent" (from its own people) government launched a Palestine
society and to get the enormous money needed the nation was labeled guilty
at Versailles (the first time the Jewish race appeared openly as a nation of
its own and not as delegates from the City of London (the Crown), which is
not quite the same as the British government as every initiate knows.
