Leon's Jerusalem No News Bulletin (18)

Tues 25th Apr 06

 

Today, the day of the Holocaust memorial and the day after a murderous terror attack in Sinai much is written and spoken, as always, about the danger of blind hatred and senseless violence.

 

Although most of these acts are carried out by people who are enemies of the Jews, they still fall into the category of enemies without reason, because being Jewish isn't a valid reason for someone to be your enemy.

 

Man is a logical creature and finds it difficult to accept the idea that a phenomenon can exists without reason.

 

In his search for the reasons for the existence of phenomena man has developed three kinds of tools to help him, namely; Philosophy, religion and science.

 

Unfortunately, despite the opinion of some scholars, the reason why there are people who are enemies of the Jews, anti-Semites, eludes all three fields of study.

 

After all these years of research, despite great disappointment and feeling of failure,  it seems we must conclude that here is a phenomenon that exists without reason.

 

There are, simply, two kinds of enemies, namely; those who have a reason and those without a reason.

 

Everybody, at some time or other, has enemies with a reason. For example, thieves, slanderers and murderers etc. There's no doubt they are the pests of society, but the damage they cause is limited by the reason why they're enemies.

 

Once they've got what they wanted they're no longer your enemy.

 

Having an enemy without a reason, however, is a special "privilege enjoyed" by only a few select people, like the Jews, as a nation.

 

Terrorists, the Nazis and the Crusaders are examples of enemies without reason.

 

It's not only the victim who doesn't know the reason why someone is his enemy, the enemy also doesn't know the reason, even though he might think he knows the reason.

 

This is why both the acts of the enemy and the acts of retaliation of his victims don't have any boundary and the two together lead to many series of enormous, never ending disasters that never solve any problems.

 

This is what makes having an enemy without reason so disturbing.

 

The result is everlasting blind hatred.

 

The solution to this problem is simple, namely not to hate someone who is your enemy without reason.

 

Unfortunately, in some unknown way mankind has been brainwashed to hate his enemy. Thus he refuses to accept this solution and you are probably extremely disgusted and shocked that I even dare to make such a suggestion.

 

This is why humanity will go on doing research to understand the non existent reasons for an enemy without reason and will carry on firing off canons and making counter attacks against unseen targets in an effort to end the existence of the phenomenon of an enemy without reason.

 

Instead of hatred without reason we need love without reason

 

Here's wishing you a great no news day. Leon.
