The latest offering from “John AG”; as he aptly concluded: “History never forgives the people who chose pride over peace when the price was paid by everyone else.” 🤔
As I’ve often commented, when it comes to Jews and Judaism, why is it consistently, I have to resort to JRR Tolkien for any kind of adequate metaphor or simile? I recall the words from Ofermōd; his essay accompanying his play, The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth, Beorhthelm’s Son:
“ða se eorl ongan for his ofermode alyfan landes to fel laþere ðeode”:
“Then the Earl in his overmastering pride granted ground to the Enemy, as he should not have done”.
Do not be deceived. This assault upon Iran is being done by his American puppet Donald Trump, solely for the benefit of Israel and her gangster warlord, Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Old English word for it was “Ofermōd”… as to the Greek loanword that came to replace it? “Hubris” (ὕβρις)?
This insane adventure of Bibi and Donald is not going to go so well for us. As Gandalf the Grey warned Frodo: We shall be hard put to it.
