I have read through your material. I understand it and am sympathetic to most of the arguments. I have one problem, however; and perhaps you will be the first to give me an answer that isn't categorically anti-Jewish.

I am an Orthodox Jew. I have never killed anybody. I know of no rabbis who wish--let alone plan--any harm to anyone, Christian or other. I believe I understand the bases of my religion at least as well as you do. I know of no movement or philosophy in Judaism that wishes any harm to anyone. I ask only to be treated with the respect accorded to any man, and to be evaluated on an individual basis. I expect no one to turn against me in terms of a principle that they accord to me without my participation and therefore my consent.

Do you have a problem with this?

Hello Moss,

I don't attack or criticize people who are Jews, orthodox or otherwise.

I have no hard feelings against any ethnic group. I believe in peace and botherhood among all men, especially men of Good Will.

Are you confusing the articles that I post about the machinations of the political force collectively referred to as "Zionism", with yourself?

If so, I make no such connection.

Kind Regards, Ken

Oh, by all means, please DO make such a connection.

Zionism is a belief in The Promised Land, a connection which has been through several wars, not by the choosing of Israel, as you well know. Frankly, I think Israel--which is a legal state and which is constantly under attack--has more than every right to drive her attackers as far back as is possible; and I would expect you and anyone else facing such a threat to do the same. Those who say they speak for the Palestinians have NEVER recognized Israel's right to exist, and if for that reason alone, I regard Hizbullah and the radical elements attacking Israel from Palestinian territory, or
Lebanese territory, as my moral enemies. If I had my way, I would decimate those areas totally and forever--which, in case you haven't noticed, is the formal position of all of the Arab states and of Palestine to this day.

I am not condoning every action of the Israeli government; but that's not the point. Frankly, I think that Olmert is more of a threat than are the Palestinians--or Hizbullah.

Recall that over 80% of Jordan IS "Palestine," such as it is. Outside of a loosely strewn series of Hashemite kingdoms in the very North and South, the remainder of Jordan IS Palestine. When the Palestinians attacked Jordan--and understandably--the Royal Jordanian Guard decimated them. They never tried it again. I would not have started by doing such a thing; but frankly, I'm ready to accept such things as equal to what Israel has received and I feel no qualms about it.

I never thought I would see the day that I would feel this way; but now that I feel that way, I'm very content with it--as are the Arabs. Fine with me.

Hello Moss,

You decieved me. You implied that I was attacking Jewery and led me to believe that you were of a pacifist nature.

Now you tell me you embrace Zionism, that you hope for the decimation of arabs you see as "attacking" Israel; your "moral" enemies.

I'm sure life must be a struggle for you from the comfort of your California home. It's easy to be a football player sitting on your sofa and watching football on TV.

The day may come when your fortune will change and you will personally face the dangers which you so recklessly hope for others to suffer. That happened to the Germans in World War II you know.

What goes around comes around; never forget it.

So long and good luck.

Sincerely, Ken
