I went to a talk by a Hebrew scholar recently and she was talking about the Neo-cons who run Israel. "You can be a Jew in Israel these days and not believe in God. That's okay. But whether or not you believe in God, you MUST believe in the Promised Land." Yeah but.... That's ridiculous. If there is no God, then who exactly was the Person who promised the Jews the Promised Land in the first place?
That is the Israeli Neo-cons' dilemma. Do they believe in God? They must not because they are breaking a goodly number of His Commandments on a daily basis. But if they don't believe in God, then they are just mucking around in Palestine, stealing real estate for no reason.
Guys. Either you believe in G-d or you don't. If you do, stop butchering Palestinian children. And if you don't? Then the Promised Land was not promised to YOU and it's time to get out of Dodge. And Jerusalem too.
