Prophet, Hater, Crisis
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009We will postpone speaking of a prominent media hater of Jews to speak of a great prophet and lover of the Jewish people, someone whose courage matched his brilliance and whose realized vision would bring the world “community” the peace it claims to desire.
That first Passover four English goyim stood guard at the Kotel, their laughing faces reflecting our degradation; Arab filth above, the Kotel deep below the impudent expansive mocking Mosque.
The cluster of confused, crushed Jews in tallit crouched against the stones; behind them Arab pollution; to their side, four goyim from a distant island, above a magnificent Ishmaelite Temple….all our shame comes together here. The Kotel absorbs the weeping of all the exiles, the human weeping and the divine weeping.
