<\/a><\/p>\nWe learned last Wednesday that Shlomo Aviner,\u00a0a\u00a0prominent Zionist rabbi\u00a0and Yeshiva\u00a0leader,\u00a0suggested the\u00a0fire that\u00a0gutted Notre-Dame may\u00a0have been divine retribution\u00a0for the burning\u00a0of Jewish manuscripts in 1242.<\/h5>\nIn the eyes of\u00a0His\u00a0followers, the Jewish almighty is an elastic substance. He morphs occasionally to fit with the needs of\u00a0His\u00a0favourite sons and daughters.\u00a0Early Zionists, for instance, demoted God into an \u2018estate agent\u2019 as they reduced the Torah into\u00a0a \u2018title deed\u2019. The\u00a0early\u00a0Zionists were secular Jews, they didn\u2019t believe in God but were happy to expel the indigenous Palestinians in\u00a0\u2018His\u00a0name\u2019 and\u00a0on \u2018His\u00a0behalf.\u2019 \u00a0But Rabbi\u00a0Aviner takes us one step further. He made the Jewish God into a\u00a0lazy but revengeful\u00a0arsonist. The rabbi practically makes the Jewish\u00a0God\u00a0into a church burner who takes eight centuries to \u2018hit back.\u2019<\/h5>\nShlomo Aviner is the rabbi of the\u00a0Beit El<\/em>\u00a0settlement and head of the\u00a0Ateret Yerushalayim<\/em>\u00a0yeshiva. He provides the \u2018rational\u2019 behind the divine retribution. \u201cChristianity,\u201d he says, \u201cis our number one enemy throughout history. [They] tried to convert us by arguments and by force, carried out an inquisition against us, burned the Talmud, expulsions, pogroms. Western anti-Semitism draws from Christianity\u2019s hatred of the \u2018murderers of God.\u2019 It also had a role in the Holocaust.\u201d<\/h5>\nIt is needless\u00a0to mention that many Israelis and Jews were appalled by Rabbi Aviner\u2019s statement. Some Israeli politicians condemned the Rabbi\u00a0and yet his\u00a0blatant\u00a0hatred\u00a0towards\u00a0Christianity is unfortunately engraved in both Jewish and Judaic thought.<\/h5>\nBack in\u00a02009, the\u00a0Jerusalem Post<\/a><\/span>\u00a0reported on the growing tendency of Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem to spit on their Christian neighbours. Father Samuel Aghoyan, a senior Armenian Orthodox cleric in Jerusalem’s Old City, told the JPost \u201cthat he’s been spat at by young Haredi and Orthodox Jews \u2018about 15 to 20 times\u2019 in the past decade\u201d.\u00a0Similarly,\u00a0Father Athanasius, a Texas-born Franciscan monk who heads the Christian Information Centre in Jerusalem\u2019s Old City, said he’s been spat at by Orthodox Jews “about 15 times in the last six months”.<\/h5>\nThe Israeli professor Israel Shahak\u00a0commented<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>on Jewish hatred towards Christianity and its symbolism, suggesting that \u201cdishonouring Christian religious symbols is an old religious duty in Judaism.\u201d According to Shahak, \u201cspitting on the cross, and especially on the Crucifix, and spitting when a Jew passes a church, have been obligatory from around AD 200 for pious Jews.\u201d<\/h5>\nAs I am currently in\u00a0Prague, I\u00a0am obliged\u00a0to add that church spitting\u00a0has had an impact on the landscape of the city.

<\/a>Charles Bridge, Prague<\/p><\/div>\n
Shahak maintains that \u201cin the past, when the danger of anti-Semitic hostility was a real one, the pious Jews were commanded by their rabbis either to spit so that the reason for doing so would be unknown, or to spit onto their chests, not actually on a cross or openly before a church.\u201d<\/h5>\nBut the anger towards the church extends well beyond the rabbinical realm. Some traces of it can be found in most secularised Jewish\u00a0so-called\u00a0\u2018progressive\u2019 circles. In a letter to his mother dated November 25 1937, Chaim Katz<\/span>,<\/a>\u00a0a combatant within the Yiddish speaking Spanish International Brigade, writes \u201cI took up arms against the persecutors of my people–the Jews–and my class–the Oppressed. I am fighting against those who establish an inquisition like that of their ideological ancestors several centuries ago, in Spain.\u201d As we can\u00a0see, Katz\u00a0defines himself in the letter \u201cas a Jew and a progressive\u201d and sees the deadly civil war in Spain as a possible platform for Jewish retribution against\u00a0the Catholic Church. It is hardly a secret that the battle in Spain escalated quickly into an orgy of\u00a0burning churches.*<\/h5>\nA week ago, we learned that the Jewish world was outraged by pro Israel Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro\u2019s suggestion that the crimes of the Holocaust can be forgiven, though not forgotten. While Bolsonaro expressed the most basic Christian belief, both Yad Vashem and the Israeli president were quick to clarify that Jewish forgiveness is not an option.\u00a0President Rivlin<\/a><\/span>\u00a0announced that \u201cno one will enjoin the forgiveness of the Jewish people, and no interest will buy it.\u201d Yad Vashem spokeswoman Dana Weiler-Polak said nobody can decide \u201cif it is possible to forgive the crimes of the Holocaust.\u201d<\/h5>\n\u00a0If Christianity is all about forgiveness, Jewishness can be seen as an accumulative project of \u2018Amalek\u2019 characters. If Christianity is all about compassion, the ability to defy gravity by means of harmony and\u00a0reconciliation, Judaism\u00a0and Jewishness can be described metaphorically as\u00a0gravitational forces.\u00a0They are there\u00a0to unite the tribe around the constant fear of an emerging enemy. I guess that those who\u00a0insist on pushing\u00a0the phantasmic notion of \u2018Judeo-Christian values\u2019\u00a0should bear in mind the clear ideological, spiritual, metaphysical contrast between the two distinct religious precepts that in fact have very little in common.<\/h5>\n*Rather than taking Franco\u2019s side I am dealing here with Jewish means of identifications.<\/h5>\nMy battle for truth and freedom involves some expensive legal services.

Shahak maintains that \u201cin the past, when the danger of anti-Semitic hostility was a real one, the pious Jews were commanded by their rabbis either to spit so that the reason for doing so would be unknown, or to spit onto their chests, not actually on a cross or openly before a church.\u201d<\/h5>\nBut the anger towards the church extends well beyond the rabbinical realm. Some traces of it can be found in most secularised Jewish\u00a0so-called\u00a0\u2018progressive\u2019 circles. In a letter to his mother dated November 25 1937, Chaim Katz<\/span>,<\/a>\u00a0a combatant within the Yiddish speaking Spanish International Brigade, writes \u201cI took up arms against the persecutors of my people–the Jews–and my class–the Oppressed. I am fighting against those who establish an inquisition like that of their ideological ancestors several centuries ago, in Spain.\u201d As we can\u00a0see, Katz\u00a0defines himself in the letter \u201cas a Jew and a progressive\u201d and sees the deadly civil war in Spain as a possible platform for Jewish retribution against\u00a0the Catholic Church. It is hardly a secret that the battle in Spain escalated quickly into an orgy of\u00a0burning churches.*<\/h5>\nA week ago, we learned that the Jewish world was outraged by pro Israel Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro\u2019s suggestion that the crimes of the Holocaust can be forgiven, though not forgotten. While Bolsonaro expressed the most basic Christian belief, both Yad Vashem and the Israeli president were quick to clarify that Jewish forgiveness is not an option.\u00a0President Rivlin<\/a><\/span>\u00a0announced that \u201cno one will enjoin the forgiveness of the Jewish people, and no interest will buy it.\u201d Yad Vashem spokeswoman Dana Weiler-Polak said nobody can decide \u201cif it is possible to forgive the crimes of the Holocaust.\u201d<\/h5>\n\u00a0If Christianity is all about forgiveness, Jewishness can be seen as an accumulative project of \u2018Amalek\u2019 characters. If Christianity is all about compassion, the ability to defy gravity by means of harmony and\u00a0reconciliation, Judaism\u00a0and Jewishness can be described metaphorically as\u00a0gravitational forces.\u00a0They are there\u00a0to unite the tribe around the constant fear of an emerging enemy. I guess that those who\u00a0insist on pushing\u00a0the phantasmic notion of \u2018Judeo-Christian values\u2019\u00a0should bear in mind the clear ideological, spiritual, metaphysical contrast between the two distinct religious precepts that in fact have very little in common.<\/h5>\n*Rather than taking Franco\u2019s side I am dealing here with Jewish means of identifications.<\/h5>\nMy battle for truth and freedom involves some expensive legal services.
