Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt01116)

Dear Steve,

Thanks for your testimony.

It seems to me rhere is no problem in being a Jew --  but if there is one, 
it is fundamentally up to the Jews, I believe, to determine it.

It is true that the Jewish nation is, in part, under the religious influence 
of  rabbi who use hate as a method.  Yet the same can be said of Islamic 
extremists, and Christian Hindu extremists (one of whom killed Mohandas 
Gandhi, for instance, "comdemned"  to death for wanting peace with Islamists 
in India).

That's why the Prayag Letter is so important!

Yet those fanatical priests are but a minority in thir peoples and nations.

Religious Jews and the followers of Islam and the Bible  are no better or 
worse people than the rest of humanity.

Except for one thing, perhaps.

Having barely escaped a long-standing systematic persecution which finally 
aimed at their final extinction in the 1930s and 1940s,  Jewish people are 
still entitled to our special solidarity -- as long the nightmare of 
anti-semitism is a danger.

Every people, nation  or person which  is the object of systematic hatred is 
entitled to our solidarity.

That includes the Palestine people, who should be taught about universal 
brotherhood.

Best regards,  Carlos.
