It took the combined effort of the rabbis to conquer America and turn it into a Jewish colony, starting six decades ago. It looks like the process of quiet intifada has started to free America from the grip of the rabbis who overplayed their hand during the decades, and don't know how to change course to stay in command.
Whereas the Jewish
rank-and-file has begun to see that Moses lied to them about going up the
mountain and meeting God who told him of the decision to make the Jews his
chosen people, the rabbis are desperately trying to convince the rank-and-file
that the promise is true, and the day will come when God will send his messiah
to hand the deed of ownership for the entire planet, to the Jews.
One rabbi has gone all out,
trying to take the flock on the path to nowhere. He is trying in vain to take
it back to the four-thousand-year old beaten path that has shown the Jews they
were chosen, not by God but by the rabbis who gave them a miserable life of
global isolation and permanent rejection.
The rabbi in question is Pini
Dunner who wrote a desperate article, appealing to the rank-and-file not to
lose hope in the promise of someday owning the planet. His article came under
the title: “We Should Embrace Being the Chosen People,” published on October 2,
2020 in the Jewish publication Algemeiner.
What you see in the title of
the article is the message of the rabbi. He decided to amplify it because the
quiet intifada of the rank-and-file continues to gather momentum and attract
new recruits. This is happening because the generation of Jews that can no
longer be fooled by the religious gobbledygook of the rabbis, has said enough
is enough, and is pulling out of the game.
That generation no longer
wants to see itself as chosen by God or Moses or the rabbis. These are young
people who want to live a normal life like everyone else without being reviled
by the human race for hanging on to a false belief that they were chosen for
something they don’t understand, and don’t want to understand. In fact, they
want to be unchosen of whatever the thing is, and wish the rabbis would leave
them alone.
And that's precisely what got
rabbi Pini Dunner to try a new tack in the effort to woo the young
rank-and-file back into the fold. To that end, he started the discussion by
quoting John Lennon's song, “Imagine.” He pointed out that the song was,
“without doubt the best-known 'peace' song of the 60s and 70s, preaching
universal love, equality for all, non-violence, and of course, world peace”.
And then, in the clumsiest
effort ever seen to pull a tour de force and score a knockout blow, rabbi Pini
Dunner started a process by which he inadvertently dismantled the very premise
upon which Judaism was erected. Here is how he started that process: “There is
a part of us that wants to buy into the core message of this song. Lennon gave
us a glimpse of what a perfect world could look like. Well actually, I'm quite
sure he didn't. Let me contrast the lyrics of 'Imagine' with a prayer we [Jews]
say numerous times over the festival period”.
Here is that prayer: “You
chose us from all the nations; you loved us, you desired us above all other
people, you sanctified us with your commandments, you drew us near to your
service.” For emphasis, rabbi Pini Dunner went on to explain that, “the prayer
is a celebration of the fact that God turned the Jewish nation into His Chosen
People”.
The rabbi calls that prayer
the “foundational aspect of our national identity,” and admits that the message
of exclusiveness inherent to it, flies in the face of Lennon's universal God.
So, how to reconcile the two and convince the rank-and-file it is a good idea
to embrace being the chosen people, and get back into the fold?
This is where the rabbi
failed, and in the process, inadvertently demolished the very premise of
Judaism. What he did is invoke two analogies. One is the parent-child
relationship. The other is the husband-wife relationship. To explain why God
chose the Jews to be His children at the exclusion of everyone else, and why He
chose them to be His wife at the exclusion of everyone else, rabbi Pini Dunner
gave this gobbledygook explanation:
“Chosen-ness means
responsibility. It means something is expected of us. And it requires a
consciousness that is reflective and on the ball. This is the chosen-ness that
explains what it means when we say that the Jews are God's Chosen People”.
Once he gobbledy gooked you
into believing why God has loved, desired, sanctified and drew the Jews near to
his service at the exclusion of everyone else, the rabbi went on to explained
that the relationship is the same as that of a parent being closer to their
child than any other child. It is also the same as that of a husband being
closer to his wife than any other woman. If that does not convince you that
Jews are privileged, nothing will.
You see, my friend, it all
flows out the gookishness of the rabbis. The more they press-on with the
message that people find difficult to believe, the more they chip away at the
notion of modern Judaism being an authentic religion.
Rabbi Pini Dunner has just stabbed Judaism in the back believing he was establishing its supremacy.
