Message: Entry: Further Notes on Nationalism Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/further_notes_on_nationalism#23497 Post contents: [This is for Mr. 2.0, whose post may be removed later, but nonetheless . . . ] I'm sorry to tell you, but I'm not the Aaron Wolf who was in the Israeli Army. In 1989, I was in high school in Rockford, Illinois. Wolf is German, and the rest is Irish, Scottish, and Welsh. It's especially funny that you would paint me with that brush, since the reviser of my Wikipedia page has gone to such great lengths to (if I may mix metaphors and split an infinitive while quoting Martin Luther, since I am, in fact, a Lutheran) fall off the donkey on the other side. I have been particularly critical of Zionism and "Christian Zionism," both in print (see Chronicles Press's Peace in the Promised Land: A Realist Scenario and on the airwaves. So now I am both a "Jew" and an "antisemite." Fasten your seat belt, though, because I concur with St. Paul, who says, "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." And, since you didn't ask, let us hear again from the Apostle to the Gentiles: "[I]n Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God." God will forgive your hatred for the Jews, 2.0, if you repent and confess His Son, Who is, according to the flesh, a Jew Himself. His mercy is there for you, too, "while it is day." But the night is coming. Sent at: 2008 09 06
