Judaism is Nobody’s Friend
Let’s face it–the only reason we are allowed (not to mention willing) to talk about it these days is because it begins with the letter ‘z’ and not the letter ‘j’. That is the single barrier demarcating the two items–a simple issue of letters and pronunciation, despite the fact that they are basically the same animal. Stay within that safe ‘z’ zone and all will be relatively fine. You will be championed as a friend of humanity and a warrior for the truth. Venture into that other area though and bring up that dreaded ‘j’ word and suddenly the same ‘open-minded’ people who a moment before were erecting a monument in your honor start to loosen their collars and clear their throats uncomfortably.
‘Apples and oranges’ they say, or, as one apologist-minded writer on the internet once put it, ‘apples and rocks’ …Two entirely different creatures…One the lion and the other the lamb…black and white…good and evil…love and hatred…
Oh, if only it were as simple as that. If only we could take things at face value and not have to go any deeper. If only the bad guys could ‘play fair’ as it were and dress in black all the time while the good guys dressed in white…What a wonderful world, as the old song goes.
Unfortunately though it is not as simple as that. Unfortunately the bad guys are a lot smarter than they are given credit for being and know that victory is much easier achieved by deceiving their opponents than by fighting them on a level playing field. They have no place in their vocabulary for words like ‘fair’, ‘honesty’ or ‘justice‘. As far as they are concerned, there is only one rule that applies when playing the game and that is to win at any cost.
