Prof. Moshe Sharon teaches Islamic History at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem

[pickemuphere]

In Judaism, it leads to national salvation - not just a nation that wants to have a state, but a nation that wants to serve God. That's the idea behind the Hebrew text of the Bible.

Um, professor, I hate to break this to you, but there is a world of difference between a nation and a tribe.

I quit reading when he introduced nationalism in the context of the ancient world. The sentiment of the piece agrees with me, to be sure, but the presentation is shoddy and tendentious.
