Interesting. Rabbi sacks said-

We will make peace only when we learn that God loves difference and so, at last, must we. God has created many cultures, civilisations and faiths, but only one world in which to live together - and it is getting smaller all the time.

Imagine that. Judaism says that the world will make peace when Mochiach comes. Rabbi Sacks can't seem to find room for Moshiach in his Judaism. He must be too busy making sure his fellow Jews will be making pork- kosher.

There’s no role for Moshiach in Rabí Sack’s vision of a “shrinking world”, and accomodation for those who would rid the world of Jews (faith is a conflict resolver, after all). All beliefs are equal, even to the believer, to think otherwise is extremism, and if you believe it we’ll all get along. I almost think he revels, from a very safe distance, in a sense of impending victimization, he’ll be a victim of his own superior morality, of course. Fine for him, not for me.
