Gordis israel6/27/2023 ![]() ![]() However I have not read the book under discussion and do not know if he touches upon some of the great ironies of the Israeli situation today. Gordis’ seeing the demonstrations as proof of caring and love for the country is I believe an accurate assessment. This discussion in its fundamentally positive and optimistic look at Israeli history is also important a time of crisis in the country. I have great respect for Daniel Gordis and his valuable contributions to Israel and the Jewish people. I thought Israel was on the right path trying to create a Palestinian state with Arabs who really wanted peace, but the Oslo accords that turned the territories over to the terrorist Arafat destroyed any hope for peace. The wall and fence has been the only thing to give Israel some kind of rest from terror. Israel pulled out of Gaza, hoping that would advance peace. I can’t see any peace until Muslims give up trying to destroy Israel. So while I believe Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state, and Israel will win its wars, Muslims will always be there to make sure they can’t enjoy it. Muslims worked for centuries to expel Crusaders and will work as long to expel Jews. They seem to have thought everyone was or would soon become as secular as they were so resistance to a secular Jewish state would disappear after a while. ![]() Great history! Seems to me that tge early Zionists underestimated the importance of religion. ![]()
