"But it's amazing how you seek to excuse the Rosenbergs and the Pollards--whose only commonality was espionage and Judaism. Perhaps you need to leave this country and go elsewhere."A whole lot of Jews get upset to think of that statement and statements like it. The old dread "Dual loyalty!" accusation.
Some of them overreact and are go yapping and yelling amoungst the loudest "Pollard should be hung!!!!"
They just feed that evil sentiment that your fingers tapped out on the keyboard. And evil it is! You'd best throw such thoughts off if you want to stay amoung the good and the sane.
Every Jew is loyal to G-d first. There is NEVER a dual loyalty to be both a Jew who loves Israel and a Jew who is a full citizen of any other country.
I'm not arguing here for Pollard or Julius and Ethyl or such spies. I'm sticking a wooden stake through the heart of that evil sentiment that has latched onto your fingers. I'd slay the evil that speaks through those fingers if I could!
Anyone, Jew or non-jew can argue for the wrongful verdict that the execution of the Rosenbergs was and I do. Keep yourself to countering that argument and stay on the side of good. Venture off into a black pit, and a person can end up expressing the argument of those who hate G-d himself -- and that's the evil that happened across your fingers.
And that's why, imho, no Jew should ever react to that evil in such a way to support it in any way. Because it supports those who hate G-d.
"A whole lot of Jews get upset to think of that statement and statements like it. The old dread "Dual loyalty!" accusation."
I've been accused of being a "Jew-lover" in FReepmail because I stood up for those patriots at the Air Force Academy who happen to be Jewish.
For 99.9999% of those of the Jewish faith, the dual loyalty charge is BS.
You seem to be in the 0.0001% where it isn't. Your first loyalty seems to be to your co-religionists, no matter what.
"Every Jew is loyal to G-d first. There is NEVER a dual loyalty to be both a Jew who loves Israel and a Jew who is a full citizen of any other country."
But the Rosenbergs were loyal to the Soviet Union, not to Israel.
"I'm not arguing here for Pollard or Julius and Ethyl or such spies."
That's EXACTLY what you're doing. You're defending the actions of your co-religionists at any cost.
"Anyone, Jew or non-jew can argue for the wrongful verdict that the execution of the Rosenbergs was and I do."
They committed espionage on behalf of a nation (the Soviet Union) that viewed itself as being at war with the United States--and that espionage involved the ONE military advantage that the United States had over the Soviet Union. They made war on the United States.
Their deeds created the Cold War. Their deeds sent me to Vietnam for a year. Their deeds sent a bunch of my friends to Vietnam, and those friends came back home in caskets.
But you defend them, and thus defend their deeds. You say that executing them was wrong--which says that their deeds were righteous.
You are a despicable traitor, and you piously invoke God's name to defend your treason. Isn't there a commandment about not taking God's name in vain?
