So an erstwhile correspondent, Rabbi Chananya Weissman, very recently posted “Brainwashing in Overdrive” which concluded with the photo of wounded IDF soldiers…
This is the sort of work they have left behind them:
Here’s another little girl:
Or how about this little girl, who lost an arm?
Rabbi Weissman however, evidently seems to think I should feel some sort of compassion or pity for the now legless cowards above. Not a chance.
There’s a bit of a backstory to this… some time ago (December 20, 2024) I posted “Omnes Optant Mundum Regere” in which I obliquely compared the Israel of today, with the Ancient Romans… As I wrote there, the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus recorded that on the Roman invasion of Judea, “The crosses lined the road from Dan to Beersheba” as the Romans decimated the populace; Colin Wilson remarked the Romans were an evolutionary step in the direction of the ape; I in turn remarked that the Nazis were a bunch of pussies in comparison.
Yet somehow I’m inclined to think neither the Romans nor the Nazis were capable of these acts of depravity.
Psalm 137 on the other hand, which begins with:
By the waters of Babylon,
there we sat down and wept,
when we remembered Zion
Concludes with:
Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones
and dashes them against the rock!
Brave Browser’s AI tool tells me:
Christian apologists and scholars defend the verse by emphasizing that it is not a divine command but rather a reflection of the psalmist’s emotional state and a prayer for justice, not personal revenge. They argue that the psalmist’s desire for retribution is not a call for individuals to act violently but rather a plea for God to act justly.
My response to this? “Bullshit.”
I may get into my exchange with him over “Omnes Optant Mundum Regere” in a later post, or you can go there and read it yourselves…🤔
With regards to his article and with respect to our previous exchange I commented thus:
“If the IDF were an SS unit they’d be shot” [And they definitely would have been, Uncle Adolf had no time for cowards.]
Look on this [the video below], as a “Going away present” 😘:
With the inevitable result:
Since it’s no longer possible for me to leave him comments, I PM’d him thus:
“Sorry Chananya... couldn’t resist. Promise I’ll leave you alone after this. Though I’ll draw your attention to Gandalf’s final words to Saruman... 😘”
I’ll leave Rabbi Weissman to read The Lord of the Rings on his own, should he ever to do something so sensible… But for everyone else, here is Gandalf’s warning:
“You have become a fool, Saruman, and yet pitiable. You might still have turned away from folly and evil, and have been of service. But you choose to stay and gnaw the ends of your old plots. Stay then! But I warn you, you will not easily come out again. Not unless the dark hands of the East stretch out to take you.”
