Oz - The Peace Fanatic

The London Times carries an Amos Oz op-ed.

Here's a short excerpt:-

We want to live in peace and in freedom, not under the rule of the rabbis, not even under the rule of the Messiah, but under our own elected government.

We have a dream of being free from the lasting occupation of the Palestinian territories.


Amos Oz's attempt to set as opposites Jews as a religion and Jews as a nation is a failed philosophy.

One need not be a theological fanatic to realize that Arab terror is not fed by "occupation" or "settlements", neither of which existed prior to 1967, at which time Arab anti-Zionist terror had been in existence for decades.

Even Oz's dream of a Little Israel is insufficient for Arab visions of an eradicated Jewish state.

These peaceniks are so 'messianic', they put even Chabad to shame.
