Inter-Religious Violence and the Conflict Over Jerusalem: A Partial Truth Will Lead Only To a Partial Solution
Monday, August 18, 2014 7:15
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Many years ago, as I recall, Eldridge Cleaver wrote, in Soul On Ice, that “If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.”
And, at the same time, a partial Truth can lead only to a partial solution.
Thus, there can only be a partial resolution of the problem of violence if you have nothing more than a partial Truth to begin with.
Now, especially since the recent events in Gaza, the religious anti-Zionist perspective of the Neturei Karta, True Torah Jews, and Jews Not Zionists has been increasingly covered—and given increasing credibility—by, especially, the ‘alternative’ media (and on many Internet discussion forums); although, still, not so much by the mainstream media.
And, while this represents a significant improvement on what has been, up until now, a veritable monopolization of all forms of media by a pro-Zionist religious and secular perspective (the secular anti-Zionist perspective is, however, fairly well represented)—or, at least, not a religious anti-Zionist perspective—the focus upon the ethical aspects of the Torah is merely a partial solution to not only the problem of the inter-religious violence in the Middle East; but, also, to resolving the large-scale conflict over Jerusalem itself.
Now, for those who don’t remember, the “tempest in a teapot” of a few years ago referred to as the ‘Inter-Faith Dialogue’ foundered on the rocks of irrelevance (and witlessness) due to the insistence by the Zionist Orthodox rabbis not to even allow the anti-Zionist Orthodox rabbis to participate in the discussion. Thus, it should, by now, be blindingly obvious that the present officials of the monotheistic religious establishment are categorically incapable of ‘Inter-Faith Dialoguing’ this conflict away inasmuch as it originates in the very doctrines that they teach in the first place.
Thus, in order to “strike at the root”, rather than merely “hacking at the branches” of this evil, as does the anti-Zionist ethical and religious perspective on this conflict, there must be a very sharp separation between the doctrines presently taught by these monotheistic religious ‘authorities’—in particular, their denial and contradiction that the Doctrine of “the resurrection” is a Doctrine of ‘Rebirth’—for there to be any possibility at all of resolving the conflict over Jerusalem.
It is for this reason, then, that I have challenged all of the Christian writers on the Before It’s News Prophecy forum—they, of course, continue to ignore the challenge; being interested in nothing more than ego-gratification—to a debate on the Doctrine of “the resurrection”:
Specifically for the purpose of attempting to resolve the conflict over Jerusalem and to diminish the horrors of the coming “time of trouble” Prophesied by Daniel.
