(IsraelNN.com) The world is against Israel because of its own moral weakness and not because of alleged human rights violations, according to Rabbi Yaakov Medan, rabbi of Har Etzion Yeshiva, located in Gush Etzion, south of Jerusalem.
“Islam is strong, and it is convenient for people to go with strength,” the rabbi explained in an interview with Arutz-7. He added that the world’s preoccupation with individual rights, as well as the infiltration of Western culture into Israel, are “illnesses” that have led to “an erosion of obligations to the country and of the significance of Israel as a nation.”

Talk about stating the obvious.
NOW if he could just get the American Jewish community to listen.
They bought pig presented in the “Authoritarian Personality”, now they have its bacon for breakfast.
“Moral Weakness Allows Islam to Take Over the World”
The disease is prevalent in countries where there is little Christian/Jewish faith (USA, France, England, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway)
The disease is less prevalent in countries with strong practice (Greece, Poland, Italy)
Most of American Jews, my fellow co-religionists, fall into the category described by the rabbi: they are morally weak.
I only associate with Conservative Jewish Community.
NEVER have understood the JINO or Reform
Reconstructionist · Renewal · Humanistic sects.
But then being Catholic I understand how this can happen.
People by nature don’t want to follow beliefs that may be inconvienent.
The rot begins with liberalism and ends with Islam. As much as I hate Islam, I’m pleased that the liberals who are destroying the world will suffer their demise at the hands of Muslims. I think God allowed the curse of Islam to make us repent or to destroy us.
Thank you for saying that. For EXACTLY these reasons I belong to a conservative congregation.
"But then being Catholic I understand how this can happen. People by nature don’t want to follow beliefs that may be inconvienent."
I completely agree with you. G-d urges us to behave in the right way, which is not always easy and even clear. Those that prefer an easier path invent compromises (e.g., Reform "Judaism") by means of which they fool themselves into believing that they fulfill all that is necessary. It lets them sleep well at night.
I always find that I have much, much more in common with true Christians than with the Leftist Jews. ( The latter pains me, of course; they are members of my tribe and I wish they made different choices. ) Not even politics -- basic values and outlook at life are more similar.
Believe me I understand your sentiments. I feel the same pain when I witness the same behavour in my acquaintences that are CINO’s.
But, Prayers are always in order.
The man makes sense!
Islam is weak, but could win by default, not least because the POTUS is a Moslem.
