Will Jews Have to defend themselves?
Hello,
My answer:
The Jews in threatened communities and Israel should
try every measure before resorting to guns, but the sooner it's realized
that we can only count on ourselves, the better.
Maybe you don't advocate Jews arming themselves. Would you advise their
taking a ship and finding a country to let them in? Would you recommend
their getting confined to a ghetto and then starting an uprising. So
what strategies are left to those who face daily the real possibility of
physical harm...wringing our hands while hoping and praying for secular
or divine help?
If the time comes and you can't offer resistance, so be it. If you never
thought about fighting, then you will definitely not be ready. If you
can't imagine and prepare yourself for struggle, you won't have any
options at all. Many people have found courage when the going got real
tough and their families were in danger.
Of course, we could get or stay on board the politically correct
pacifist train and find to our surprise that it's taking us on a detour
to oblivion. While riding, we could shout slogans like "Never Again" as
we have for these last six decades. Iran and the Muslim world would
definitely appreciate our calm inaction for a little while longer. They
might even be so accomodating next time that we won't have to go to the
poison gas; they'll bring it and the radiation to us in Israel.
