I thought that maybe I’d start with a rendition of Paul McCartney’s plaintive masterpiece “Yesterday”… “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they’re here to stay, oh I believe in yesterday” – but then I thought, too romantic.

Long, but excellent article

We are divided today not by faith nor holy book. We are divided today by decency and indecency. By right and wrong. By moral and corrupt. By courage and cowardice. By righteousness and evil. The good citizens of earth must rise up. Gather on the mountain top and proclaim in thundering unison the words of Isaiah: “Hoy ha’omrim lera tov v’la’tov rah – woe to them that call evil, good and good, evil. Who present darkness as light and light as darkness. Who call bitter, sweet and sweet, bitter. We must turn back the evil. We must turn back the darkness. We must turn back the bitter.

My friends – Ehr daw – they are here.

We wallow in moral equivalence because we are, ourselves, bloodthirsty evildoers. For as long as abortion on demand is the law of the land we have no claim on morality. The slaughter of innocents whether by hamas bombs or abortionists is the same. If we are to rid the earth of the scourge of evil we must begin in our own homes, churches, courts, schools and ballot boxes. We must first reclaim our humanity. Then we can demand humanity from our avowed enemies.

This is an important message from a leading Rabbi. Sorry about the link.

“Progressives” refuse to acknowledge the facts, because they oppose western civilization, and the enemy of their enemy is their friend.

Geneva is finished. We are all combatants in the cross hairs. We are all on the front lines, like it or not. The battlefield has no boundaries and the war, no rules.

What will it take for us to understand this?

So many people are trying to wish it away.

Thanks for posting that - it is going to my entire email list, and I’d suggest that everyone else do the same. This sounds the alarm in a way not done before, and it must be repeated everywhere. If we don’t wake up, our civilization will enjoy the peace of the dead along with a lot of us.

Here is another such warningf on the same topic, fictional but also excellently written by science fiction author Dan Simmons: http://www.dansimmons.com/news/message/2006_04.htm

Profound words. Thanks.

"In a powerful Holocaust tale, Eli Wiesel painfully writes that when words lose their meaning, disaster follows. In today’s Middle East lexicon; restraint means suicide. Terrorists have become militants. Self-defense is a war crime. Democracy is apartheid. Israelis and Jews have become Nazis. Warning civilians to get out of harm’s way has become genocide.
38 Muslim countries – 22 Arab countries and Israel, the only Jewish nation, must constantly defend her right to exist. Russia invades. Nigeria enslaves. China oppresses. Pakistan rapes. Iraq slaughters. North Korea starves. Iran nuclearizes. Syria massacres. Venezuela plunders. Afghanistan tortures. Sudan annihilates. ISIS beheads and Israel is the pariah state, put under the microscope by the morally noxious.
And this did not go unnoticed. Eric Hoffer, the longshoreman philosopher, wrote the following in 1968 – 46 years ago. His words have not grown stale with the passage of time. To the contrary, they are every bit as relevant and meaningful today, nearly 1/2 a century later. I quote: “The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews. Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it. Poland and Czechoslovakia did it. Turkey drove out a million Greeks and Algeria a million Frenchman. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese and no one says a word about refugees. But, in the case of Israel, the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab.
"Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis. Other nations, when victorious on the battlefield, dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious on the battlefield, it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in the world…"
