Learning from history
A letter from Mr Alan Hoffman:
Dear Editor
I refer you to the Frontpagemag.com article dealing with Bishop Tom Wright.
Bishop Tom Wright, Church of England, repeated the old saw late last year that, “Every bomb dropped has proved to be another al-Qaeda recruiting agent, just as several of us were saying four years ago.” He also called on America to stop supporting Israel (another democracy). Such thinking says all forceful resistance is self-defeating. But if Wright’s blanket moral assertion were correct, then the Royal Air Force only increased the number of dedicated Nazis and Fascists during World War II and every American soldier stationed in Europe for 60 years caused more Soviet intrangience. How stupid and unlearned of history can he be? Those who do not study/learn from history will repeat it.
As for the call to stop supporting Israel, I would remind the good Bishop , and the Anglican Church, that Israel, a nuclear power reputedly with 200-300 warheads, if felt beseiged enough, can do far more damage to the world, environment (or European supporters of Jihad), than Hitler did. American conventional war, political and economic support tends to inhibit such use of power, not unleash it. The very purpose of the over 40+ bilateral and multilateral defense treaties America has with other nations is specifically intended to keep the nuclear genie in the bottle and prevent unimaginable escalation to occur even when small wars erupt.
The Bishop of course does not learn from history. The Holocaust, caused by such ineffective Europeans, taught Jews one supreme lesson: Never Again. That “never again” has become the unofficial but pyschologically ingrained 614th commandment for Jews worldwide. If you want an Israel unleashing its nuclear strike capability, then please, influence America to stop supporting Israel,because an isolated Israel will be attacked by the combined forces of Islam. Or better yet, support a European (i.e., Christian?) invasion of Israel to finish off what 2,000 years of “loving” that Christian history has not acheived - the end of Jews and Judaism. Then also ponder this - can you use oil for gasoline that is irradiated or can you wait 10 - 20 years until such radiation levels are reduced to pump that oil again? The bishop does not consider consequences of the alienation of Jews, only of the poor “terrorist community”. While the jihadist/Islamic mentality adores death of others, and acepts it lovingly for itself with grand visions of heaven, the Judaic mentality knows that it cannot allow the next Holocaust because we love life, not death, and the self-sacrifice the bishop would expect of Jews was lost in 1945 - especially to the Europeans.
