…Why am I a racist if I want to live in a country when the holy day of rest is Shabbos, not Friday, not Sunday? Why must I live next door to people who in their generality murder one of their daughters like once every ten days because she dishonored the males in the family by her lascivious behavior, as they configure it? I don’t want neighbors like that.
Which stance by the way puts me squarely opposed to Caroline B Glick’s idea of a solution to the Arab-Israeli fighting: handing out citizenship to another 1.6 million Arabs. Does she really think these people would be happy to start singing the Israeli national anthem about a Jewish heart pining for its homeland over thousands of years? I have the highest respect for Caroline B. Glick and come Shabbos newspaper reading she is always first on my list for her lively style and sources of information, though she has tendency to suggest the sky is falling when it is not. But her idea of absorbing all these Arabs is simply not of this world. I’m all for annexing the land that is rightfully, lawfully, morally ours, but giving the Arabs citizenship is simply delusional… |
